Opera Tower, Residential skyscraper in Arts & Entertainment District, Miami, United States.
The Opera Tower is a 55-story residential skyscraper at 1750 North Bayshore Drive in Miami's Arts & Entertainment District, just north of Downtown Miami. Completed in 2007, the 166-metre tower was designed by the firm Corradino and holds 635 condominiums. It also housed the Japanese-inspired sushi restaurant NoVe Kitchen and Bar, now closed.
Construction began in 2004 under Florida East Coast Realty's direction, with the building receiving its temporary occupancy certificate on December 26, 2007. The completion represented a major addition to Miami's downtown residential landscape during the mid-2000s development boom.
The tower's name refers to the nearby Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the opera and theatre venue that anchors the Arts & Entertainment District north of Downtown Miami. The building itself housed NoVe Kitchen and Bar, a Japanese-inspired sushi restaurant, now closed.
The tower provides easy access to nearby galleries, restaurants, and waterfront areas within walking distance. Visitors can explore the neighborhood on foot and access public parks and cultural venues without needing transportation.
The Opera Tower's 635 condominiums were marketed as "uniquely designed," and the building received its temporary certificate of occupancy on December 26, 2007. It has also drawn attention for a series of shootings in 2013, 2018 and 2020, and at least one suicide, which contrast with its luxury branding.
