MIAMI | 1201 Brickell Bay Dr (Citadel HQ) | 1,032 FT | 54 FLOORS

Thanks for posting.

Are 1221 and 1260/80 Brickell part of the plan? They are listed under 'SITE INFORMATION.'

I wasn't aware Citadel's plans were going to cross Brickell Bay Dr.

There's a parking garage there now.

He bought both sites but I'm unsure of the plans. Some say the sites will be connected, but there's no definitive answer.

[BrickellBased]

Ok I didn't realize he bought the sites across the street. Does Citadel own everything in dark grey? What about the tower at 1221?

Yeah he owns the office tower. He bought the parking garage and tower together for 286.5 million and the small corner lot for 20 million. I didn't notice that only the parking garage was shaded in grey. Maybe they'll redevelop the parking garage which would be awesome!

1201 Brickell Bay Drive is the first phase of the development, with additional phases planned across the street at 1221 Brickell Avenue and 1250/60 Brickell Bay Drive, the filing states.

So I guess the labels 1,2,3 are Phases I, II, III according to TheNextMiami article. With Phase II including the tower at 1221 which may possibly be some kind of renovation.

Indifferent on the design at the moment but I find it very fitting for Miami. Looks more like a condo high-rise.

I love it. It's giving me a little bit of Asian vibes.

The building, set to be one the city’s tallest, will “redefine the Miami skyline,” the spokesperson said, adding that it will bolster Miami’s reputation as a “destination for talented professionals and their families, businesses and culture.”

Foster + Partners is handling the design for the Miami tower, which will also include retail and waterfront restaurant space, according to the filings, as well as a public pedestrian path along the water.

Renders and Designs Revealed for Citadel's New Global Headquarters
https://floridiandevelopment.com/ren...-headquarters/

Here are some new renderings and info:

To accomodate for on-site visitors, the tower will include 50 below-grade parking spots with additional parking being used at 1221 Brickell Avenue and 1250-1260 Brickell Bay Drive.

The development will proceed in planned phases, beginning with the renovation of the main office tower and a new parking structure at 1221 Brickell Avenue to accommodate the new headquarters. There’s approximately 1420 parking spaces between 4 basement levels and 8 parking tiers. Below are new facade treatments for the parking deck at 1221 Brickell Avenue.

The buildings at 1250 and 1260 Brickell Bay Drive will be demolished to create space for outdoor public seating. Likewise, the tower is connected with its environment, having a large, accesible baywalk with trees and a 55.92′ setback. Fronting the baywalk is dining space and an outdoor terrace.

Also, this will have 1,293,373 square feet of office space.

Finally it is revealed!

The hotel at the top is very interesting.

How many hotels are there in the us with rooms over 900 ft??? I had a difficult time googling.

Edit - found this, not sure how comprehensive : https://www.loveexploring.com/galler...s-in-the-world

According to the list this would put it at around 16th highest worldwide (all middle east and asia), #1 in Western Hemisphere, and roughly tied with Shangri La in The Shard in London.

A postcard image.

That's pretty classy. It's not as bold as the Waldorf and I think will age better as a result.

[colemonkee]

Up close the cladding is giving serious Cesar Pelli vibes (reminiscent of Petronas Towers or 18 King Wah Road in Hong Kong), which is not a bad thing at all. The base and lobby look absolutely amazing, and that dining area is going to be a huge draw. The 'hat' at the top bothers me a bit, but it's at least unique, and can see myself coming around to like it over time. Foster + Partners rarely misses, so excited to see this rise.

[Hudson11]

seems evocative of a tower of a citadel fortress or castle. Probably not a coincidence.

[Innsertnamehere]

definitely gives me big post-modern, tuscan column vibes:

Apparently some Miamians on other forums are not too happy with this design saying that Citadel had promised an "Iconic" tower that would transform the Miami skyline.
Instead they have now dubbed it the "Shampoo Bottle" tower :

I like this building better than the Waldorf Astoria one.

I don’t hate it, but after the big buildup to the “International Beauty Contest” I’m a tad underwhelmed.
