The Aloft South Beach will offer a prime, waterfront location with access to Lake Pancoast and the Collins Canal, which wrap around the property.
NEW YORK – JMH Development, led by Principal Jason Halpern, announced the topping off of the Aloft South Beach, the 235-room hotel scheduled to open in early 2015 in the heart of Miami Beach.
The project, developed by JMH Development and Madden Real Estate Ventures, is an adaptive reuse of the historic Motel Ankara and will also include a new eight-story tower. Construction is being handled by Plaza Construction and the project’s architect is ADD, Inc. Aloft South Beach will be first newly constructed hotel to open in South Beach since 2009 offering significantly larger rooms averaging over 360 square feet, as compared to its competitors.
“We’re excited about the topping off of the Aloft South Beach,” said Jason Halpern, Principal, JMH Development, who has a track record of restoring historic structures. “Topping off the building marks a major milestone in the construction process and signals the beginning of the next phase as we progress toward the completion and opening of the Aloft South Beach.”
The Aloft South Beach will offer a prime, waterfront location with access to Lake Pancoast and the Collins Canal, which wrap around the property. Just one block from the shores of Miami Beach, the new Aloft will be located in the heart of South Beach, minutes from the Miami Beach Convention Center, several art galleries, the Bass Museum of Art and numerous night clubs, restaurants and boutiques.
Guests will enjoy an outdoor pool, roof deck lounge, a 24-hour fitness center and 2,349 square feet of flexible meeting space ideal for both business meetings and social gatherings. Additionally, the hotel will offer live, free access to local emerging artists as well as some of the hottest bands with Live at Aloft Hotels programming at the W XYZ bars.
