West Eleventh Construction Status and Timeline in 2026

Last Updated: September 2026

West Eleventh is under construction. PMG broke ground on the 44-story tower on NE 11th Street in September 2024, and completion is estimated for 2028. For a buyer in 2026, that means a building in the middle of its construction cycle, with a contract signed now and a closing at the end of the build.

Construction status is the question I get most on this building, usually phrased as "is it actually going up?" and "when do I close?" Both have clear answers, and both deserve precision. Below is where West Eleventh stands, what the remaining stages of a Miami high-rise look like, what the building will be when it delivers, and what a buyer should have in place before 2028. Every project figure comes from the developer fact sheet or WIRE Miami's project record. Where something is not in that record, I say so.

Is West Eleventh under construction?

Yes. West Eleventh broke ground in September 2024 and is under construction on NE 11th Street in Downtown Miami. The developer is PMG, with Lion Development and Marc Roberts Companies listed alongside it on the developer fact sheet, and the tower is designed by Sieger Suarez Architects. Completion is estimated for 2028.

A groundbreaking date is the most useful single fact on a pre-construction building, because it separates a project that is financed and moving from one that is still selling toward a start. West Eleventh cleared that line in September 2024. The practical meaning for a buyer is that the question is no longer whether the tower gets built, but how the remaining construction stages track against the 2028 estimate.

I do not guess at floor counts or percentages from the street. When a buyer asks where the structure stands this month, I send the developer's latest construction update together with the current price list, so the status you are relying on is the developer's, in writing, with a date on it.

When will West Eleventh be completed?

Completion of West Eleventh is estimated for 2028. That is an estimate, not a closing date. The binding terms are in your purchase agreement, which sets out the developer's completion obligations, and the closing date for your residence is set by the developer's closing notice once the building is ready for occupancy.

There is a difference worth understanding between a completion estimate and a contract term. The estimate is the developer's schedule; it is how the project is planned and financed. The contract is what protects you if the schedule slips. Before you sign, read the section of the purchase agreement that covers completion and closing, and ask me to walk you through it. I would rather you understand that section on day one than discover it in 2028.

Schedules on Miami high-rises move for ordinary reasons: weather in hurricane season, inspections, utility connections, and the sequencing of interior trades across hundreds of residences. A 659-residence tower has more units to finish and inspect than a boutique building, which is simply the nature of the scale. None of that is a warning about this project. It is the reason the word "estimated" stays in front of 2028 until the developer issues closing notices.

What happens between groundbreaking and closing?

After groundbreaking, a Miami tower moves through foundations, the podium and parking levels, vertical structure floor by floor, topping off, building envelope and glass, interior build-out, and final inspections for occupancy. Closing notices follow occupancy. At West Eleventh, the podium includes valet parking on levels 4 through 12, with residences above.

Mapped onto West Eleventh's own layout from the project record, the sequence reads like this:

• Foundations and podium. The ground level carries the retail and dining program; the project record lists a 15,083 SF food hall. Parking runs on levels 4 through 12, with 34 spaces on level 4 and 64 on each floor from 5 to 12, all valet.
• The lanai level. Level 13 holds the Lanai residences, with terraces of 145 to 2,260 SF.
• Typical residential floors. Floors 14 through 42 carry the typical studio and one-bedroom layouts.
• Top-off and envelope. Once the structure reaches the top of the 44-story tower, glass and exterior work close in the building.
• Interiors and amenities. Residences are delivered fully furnished and finished per the fact sheet, so the interior phase covers furniture and finishes as well as kitchens and baths.
• Occupancy and closing. After inspections, the developer issues closing notices and the balance of the purchase price is paid at closing.

The milestone I watch most closely on a tower like this is top-off. Before it, schedule risk is mostly structural. After it, the risk shifts to interiors and inspections, which is where furnished buildings take longer than unfurnished ones. I track both through the developer's team and pass on what changes.

What will West Eleventh be when it delivers?

At delivery, West Eleventh will be a 44-story tower in Miami's District 11 with 659 fully furnished and finished studio and one-bedroom residences of 313 to 827 SF. The developer fact sheet lists fully centralized management and hosting services, Italkraft cabinetry, Waterworks bath fixtures, built-in washers and dryers and PMG smart home technology.

The building program on the fact sheet includes a 30,000 SF tri-level experiential entertainment venue, a signature supper club restaurant, an amenity level with a resort-style pool and lounge areas, a fitness and wellness center, co-working space, a residential lobby, a curated collection of custom art installations and smart building technology. The project record adds a 1,610 SF lap pool, a 333 SF secondary pool, 8,597 SF of outdoor terrace and deck space and a 3,110 SF lounge. Interiors are by Cotofana Designs. You can see the full amenity program and residence types on this site.

The residence mix is the point to understand before you choose. This is a studio and one-bedroom building, built for flexibility. With 659 residences in a narrow size band, many owners will hold similar layouts. For a buyer, that argues for choosing carefully within the building: floor, exposure and the Lanai residences on level 13, where some terraces are larger than the interiors, are where one residence separates from the next. The complete floor plan library shows every layout.

How does the Airbnb hosting provision work at West Eleventh?

The developer fact sheet states that owners have the ability to host 365 days a year on Airbnb, with fully centralized management. It also states that hosting is subject to local laws and to City of Miami Determination No. 2019-01, and that a change in that Determination could limit or restrict it. No rental income is promised.

For a building still under construction, this is the single variable I tell buyers to diligence most carefully, because it is the one that depends on a rule outside the developer's control. The fact sheet is explicit about that dependency, which is to its credit. Before you sign, read the current rental provisions in the condominium documents and the terms of the centralized management offering, including its cost and how an owner uses the residence personally. I put those documents in front of every West Eleventh buyer before contract.

I will not project a nightly rate or an occupancy figure for a building that delivers in 2028. What I can tell you is how the structure works today and where the risk sits. That is more useful than a projection anyone could write.

What should a buyer do while the tower is being built?

Between contract and a 2028 closing, a West Eleventh buyer should read the escrow and completion sections of the contract, plan the closing funds or financing early, keep the rental provisions under review, and track the developer's construction updates. The balance of the price is due at closing, so the funding plan matters more than the headline price.

A few specifics I cover with buyers:

• Deposits and escrow. Florida law governs how developer deposits are held, and each contract states which portion, if any, may be used for construction. The West Eleventh deposit schedule is sent with the current price list; read it next to that escrow clause.
• Financing at closing. If you plan to finance, talk to a lender about condominium review well before 2028. Buildings with centralized hosting can be reviewed differently than purely residential ones.
• Documents. Florida Statute 718.503 requires the developer to furnish the condominium documents and gives the buyer a window to cancel after receiving them. Use that window to read the budget and leasing rules.
• Updates. Keep the developer's construction reports on file. They are the record of progress against the estimate.

How I keep West Eleventh buyers informed

I track West Eleventh's inventory and construction reports closely and I am in regular contact with the developer's team, so when the schedule, a line's pricing or the contract terms shift, you hear it from me before it is public. The developer covers the brokerage commission, so there is no additional cost to you for having WIRE Miami represent you.
