Everyday Life

Midtown’s urban design is reminiscent of New York’s So Ho district with a Miami twist. There are more than 60 uniquely designed floor plans, with multi-level, loft and tower spaces that are the best in fresh, urban architecture. Ware-house windows, exposed ten foot high concrete ceilings, kitchens and baths with the most modern of finishes tie it all together to give each residence an individual look that is distinct to Midtown Miami.

The blend of the three components tower, midrise and mews create a dynamic synergy we call 2 Midtown.
