The Ursa Approved at 30 NE 39th Street in Design District

The Ursa, a 20-story office tower at 30 NE 39th Street in Miami's Design District, has won approval. The roughly 265,000-SF project includes about 250,000 SF of Class A office space and 15,000 SF of ground-floor retail and dining. It is a joint venture between Miami Design District Associates and BH3 Management, announced in October 2026. Arquitectonica designed the building with Arsham Studio.

The tower sits on a roughly half-acre vacant lot at the southwestern entrance to the Design District. The plan grew from a 15-story, approximately 274,268-SF proposal filed with the Urban Development Review Board in 2022, which called for a 222-foot structure with 134 parking spaces. The developers expanded to 20 stories by combining adjacent properties.

Office floor plates range from 18,000 to 20,000 SF, with 14-foot ceilings. Floors from the seventh level up offer water and skyline views. Amenities include an amenity deck, fitness facilities, landscaped balconies, and on-site parking. Artist Daniel Arsham is curating a museum-quality art program.

Groundbreaking is planned for Winter 2027, with delivery estimated for Winter 2029.
