The Next Chapter
The Plan
The Mirasol will be restored to its former glamour as a sophisticated Mediterranean Revival property, featuring bespoke hotel suites, a limited collection of hotel-serviced luxurious waterfront condominiums, and intimate gathering spaces for Davis Islands residents and guests.
Elegant and Thoughtful Design
Fortunately, many original items and interior design elements within the Mirasol have been preserved over the past 100 years. As we are with the renovation of the property back to a boutique hotel, luxury residence, and community anchor, we will also be preserving as many period-based elements as possible. Furniture and interior elements that must be acquired will be curated with intention and respect for the refined sophistication authentic to the structure.
Amenities
As called once before, and we will again, the “Crown Jewel of Davis Islands.” The Mirasol will offer:
Up to 118 bespoke hotel rooms and suites
Up to 12 private condominium residences
Community-focused amenities, potentially including: a restaurant, indoor penthouse sky garden, a coffee bar, wellness spaces, existing outdoor pool and patio space, and garden space facing Davis Blvd
Smart Improvements
To ensure the long-term resilience of the building, and neighborhood, the project will include sustainable and storm-resilient measures, including:
North & South Wings – Two new structures will replace the property’s current asphalt surface parking lots, incorporating new infrastructure to improve stormwater and resiliency at the site. To the north, a 2-story structure above flood elevation will house new residences over a full-screened level of ground-level parking for the residents and their guests. The south wing, connecting to the historic Mirasol tower, will include luxurious hotel rooms and spacious suites, in a 3-story structure over a level of dedicated hotel and visitor parking.
Parking and stormwater solutions - The Mirasol will increase the amount of on-site parking. The parking areas will incorporate enhanced stormwater protection, meeting today’s best practices and standards. The result will be an improvement in retaining stormwater on site, improving conditions on surrounding streets.
Modern infrastructure upgrades - Critical building infrastructure will be moved out of the existing basement to a higher elevation, and other flood-proofing measures will be taken. These improvements will meet modern safety, wind and floor standards and prepare the Mirasol to weather future storms.
Operations and noise planning - Hotel operations will respect the neighborhood’s residential character with a sensitive, elegant hotel environment. This is woven throughout the Project plans. Loading and trash will be provided in enclosed loading zones accessed from Davis Blvd. Outdoor events will be limited, with quiet hours enforced in the evening. Hotel parking will be served with a dedicated valet driveway exceeding 85’ in length.
Enhancing the Urban Fabric - The Project will fill in two parking lots and loading areas with a residentially scaled, cohesive streetscape that enhances the historic character of the Mirasol. The proposal is sensitive to the adjacent residential units, with 15’+ setbacks to adjacent property lines, and heights that step down nearest to those property lines.
