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

It doesn't evoke a WOW response but its really memorable. It's one of those buildings that'll make people point and say "that's miami". I think people will get to love it in a few years once it settles in the skyline.

[Illithid Dude]

That is one bizarre looking building, but I can see it settling into public consciousness over the years.

After stewing on what this reminds me of I figured it out. Lighthouse. I legitimately wonder if this is what Foster might be going for. The concept definitely fits with the Citadel name.

[Steely Dan]

It's like a Miami version of the John Hancock Center.

[Zapatan]

I like it!

Will this be built? Crazy to think how different Miami could look in a few years.

It would be cool if Austin could give it some more competition and come up with some taller projects.

Highly likely. It's a pet (vanity) project for Ken Griffin.

[NYguy]

The tapered design is what makes it stand out from the others.

[Skang]

I see the high could be reduced

[Altoic]

Will this be the one of many towers Ken Griffin will build? I hope it's not the last.

He's building two supertalls, one in Miami and one in New York City, plus some supporting buildings in Miami. Not only that, he has also bought the most expensive penthouse to date in Manhattan at 220 Central Park South.

Instead they have now dubbed it the "Shampoo Bottle" tower :

Now I cannot unsee this. Thanks a lot!

Exactly, I think of all the office tower proposals, this one has the best chance of rising.

Exactly, Lord Norman Foster designing two supertall skyscrapers doesn't come cheap for Citadel. I wonder if both this one, and the NYC tower will rise at the same time?

Not only that Ken Griffin purchased one of the most expensive penthouse's in the world at 220 Central Park South, NYC for $238 million.

[BrickellBased]

Ken can also sell a painting or two to finance the tower.

But more importantly - Citadel moved its headquarters to Miami. They're definitely getting a tower.
