Newly released Arquitectonica renderings imply that developer Swire Properties may have landed a major tenant for the proposed 1102-foot One Brickell City Centre tower.

The possible tenant? HSBC Bank. In multiple renderings, the HSBC logo is clearly visible atop the proposed tower.

HSBC and Swire both have deep roots in Hong Kong. HSBC provided $140m in financing for the first phase of Brickell City Centre construction, and HSBC has partnered with Swire to finance other projects in China. Additionaly, HSBC recently signed to occupy 43% of the office space at Taikoo Hui, a project similar to Brickell City Centre that Swire built in Guangzhou.

HSBC currently leases space at the Four Seasons Tower. The Brickell location is one of only two HSBC Private Bank International offices in the U.S. (the other is in New York).

The prominence this building will have makes for a very desirable branding opportunity.

Looks like those views from the top will actually be available to anyone. Floors 79 and 80 will be a restaurant and lounge and floors 70 to 78 will be a hotel. How many hotel rooms exist in the world over 1000 feet up?

I'm confused, why is it One Brickell CityCentre, this building's in the states, shouldnt it be Center?

Or have you guys finally learned to spell?

[Surrealplaces]

Lots of exciting stuff coming down the pipe in Miami from the looks of it.

Nope, Centre lol. Name of the project. Not sure why they decided to say "Centre" instead of Center. The whole project is a little confusing in general because all of the names are very similar. Its like in the Bellevue thread. Every other new tower coming out has the word "Bellevue" in it.


Also in post #32, you can see the rendering for other buildings in the development that have "Centre" in it.

Poor decision by the FAA, I hope this doesn't stand

[Zapatan]

The FAA are such losers who need to go do something productive yeesh.

1040' would be fine with me though... anything over 300 meters would be great for Miami.

[chris08876]

Well at least Skyrise was approved by the voters. Not terribly bad news today.

[chris08876]

This thread should be renamed:

Brickell CityCentre | 1,102 FT + (520 FT X 2) + 516 FT | FLOORS

To avoid confusion with the other thread which is One Brickell, the height information would distinguish the two.

The supertall portion is part of a phase for this project. The smaller towers are part of the complex. It is this complex that the thread title should resemble. Also, the floor count isn't really known. The supertall portion could be 80 floors, but the floors of the other towers are tentative. The height though is backed up by diagrams in page 2.



Notice the supertall slot.

[chris08876]

Apologies for bumping this. I posted some recent information pertaining to a different project by accident. All of the names for a lot of Miami developments all sound the same and use "Brickell", "Ocean Drive" or "one" in the name.

Eastern National Bank Moving Out, Building Will Be Demolished For One Brickell City Centre
By TNM Staff on February 9, 2015

An office building slated for demolition to make way for One Brickell City Centre is being vacated by Eastern National Bank, which formerly owned the building.

The bank signed a lease to move their headquarters to Dadeland from Brickell Avenue, according to a press release (via TRD).

They have been operating on a lease from Swire Properties. The bank sold their 197,611-square-foot Brickell headquarters to Swire in 2011 for just $13.1 million in 2011. The property, which includes 50,172-square-feet of land, is now worth multiples of that price.

Swire intends to demolish the office building to build the mixed-use 1,049-foot tall One Brickell City Centre. The developer recently topped off several other building withing the Brickell City Centre complex.

Screw the FAA!! Leave it alone.

^^^

The tabloids a couple of weeks ago made one of their many errors in exaggerating the FAA impact on these towers. I wouldn't worry, towers like this will not be 500 feet.

Likewise for MiamiCentral or any other projects. I think this one is a safe bet. Worst case scenario for the 4 or 5 supertalls in the pipeline is that we may see a reduction to 900 feet, but for this project, I'd say the current height or even a 1000 feet is a very safe bet, thats if they go that route.

If all goes well, Miami may have the 3rd most supertalls after NYC and Chicago. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me. 2020 will see a largely expanded skyline, both in width, and height.

Miami Herald is reporting that the FAA has approved this tower at 1049 feet!!

Not quite as tall as I'd like it, but this will do!

Feds OK height for 80-story One Brickell City Centre tower

A soaring 80-story skyscraper on Brickell Avenue won’t endanger airplanes flying to and from Miami International Airport if it is built, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday.

“It is determined that the proposed structure ... would not be a hazard to air navigation,” the FAA wrote in a report issued to developer Swire Properties and obtained by the Miami Herald.

Swire had originally wanted to build One Brickell City Centre up to a height of 1,111 feet above sea level but settled for 1,049 feet after negotiations with the FAA, the agency wrote.

When built, One Brickell City Centre will be the tallest tower in Miami, according to Emporis, a website that tracks and ranks buildings.

The tallest building in Miami today is the Four Seasons Hotel & Tower (789 feet), but several developers have plans to outdo that height including Tibor Hollo at One Bayfront Plaza (1,010 feet) and Jeff Berkowitz at SkyRise Miami (1,000 feet).

The new Swire tower, designed by Arquitectonica, will include retail, office space, condos and a hotel. It is the centerpiece of the second phase of development at Brickell City Centre, a gargantuan, mixed-use project with a price-tag of $1.05 billion.

Swire will demolish the Eastern National Bank building at 799 Brickell Ave. and the former Northern Trust Bank building at 700 Brickell Ave. to make room for the project.

Miami-Dade County’s Aviation Department must also approve the tower’s height.
