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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :
