Foundation work is underway for The Residences at 1428 Brickell, where recent aerial imagery reveals a fully cleared site with heavy equipment actively engaged in early-stage construction activity. Developed by Ytech and designed by ACPV Architects in collaboration with Arquitectonica and Magnusson Klemencic Associates as the structural engineer, the 70-story tower—billed as the world’s first high-rise partially powered by solar energy—is set to rise 861 feet over Miami’s Financial District. John Moriarty & Associates is the general contractor.
Photos show active drilling operations led by Malcolm Drilling, whose blue rotary drilling rigs are positioned centrally on the site. Additional support equipment, including a crane and various excavation machinery, surrounds the core operation area. Rebar cages are laid out in multiple rows across the southwest corner of the site, suggesting preparations for upcoming deep foundation elements such as auger cast or drilled shafts.
