I hope this isn't the final design because it's horrible, and as the tallest tower in Miami, it will utterly Ruin the skyline.

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

The official height will be 1040 feet above ground level. Can the thread title be changed?

My question is who is going to be filling up all these business towers? I understand the residential demand down there, heck its very nice down there.

Usual tenants consist of banks, law offices, real estate companies, and construction firms. Keep in mind though that these towers are not 100% filled in the first year. Like any tower, it could take years to reach somewhat full occupancy. International banks also reside in Miami and are some of the tenants that usually sign deals along with foreign financial firms.

If Miami had a supertall boom that would be awesome. It's hard to tell how serious all these projects are though and the FAA always trying to get involved doesn't help.

I'm sure at least one or two will go through though.

Takes time. I mean, as long as the economy is well, and the conditions are favorable like they are now, than its just a matter of waiting. I think the NYC super tall boom makes it seem like they can just go up, but a supertall can take a decade or more from conception to completion. Takes a really long time to get a tower such as this.

I rather like the design. I've made peace with the fact that Miami is never going to get a spire.

chris08876 · #9 Posted **Jun 25, 2015, 9:42 AM**

I'm happy for the city. Another supertall. Well, if we can count Skyrise as one. Still, great height, and I too am kinda surprised the FAA didn't bastardize this.

Still waiting on One Bayfront Plaza to start up.

That will be 1,010 ft.

UrbanImpact · #10 Posted **Jun 25, 2015, 3:36 PM**

Awesome news!!!!!! Finally, we are the 3rd most populated state after all. Can't wait to watch it rise now

One Brickell City Centre Groundbreaking Estimated For Late 2017

Quote:

One Brickell City Centre could become the tallest tower in Miami, but construction likely won’t begin for at least another two years.

Developer Swire Properties is focusing on finishing up the first phase of Brickell City Centre before moving on to the next phase of the project, according to Mary Arda, a marketing director for the developer. A report last week in Miami Today that construction would begin in the first quarter of 2016 is erroneous, and the developer is targeting late 2017 to begin construction, she said.

By the end of this year, law firm Akerman will begin moving into office space, and residential condo units will begin closing. Also expected to open this winter is the EAST hotel. Only the retail portion of the project will open later, beginning in September of 2016.

In June, the Federal Aviation Administration approved the height of One Brickell City Centre at 1,040-feet above ground, which would make it one of the tallest in the U.S. Approval expires after 18 months, but the developer can apply for an extension.

Horrible

It's a fat box that's missing a piece .

Fantastic news! Out of all of the proposals for a super tall I know Swire will actually build this and upon completion it will be the tallest tower in all of the Southern US!

Technically it would be the same height as the Bank of America plaza here in Atlanta. 1040' I swear people forget about that building all the time, and it really has a nice presence to it. The crown is beautiful at night, especially from midtown.

That tower, with its crown and shape is what more cities need. Lovely tower. Shall not be forgotten!

The B of A tower in Atlanta is 1,023 ft. | 311.8 m to the tip and the highest occupied floor is at 728 ft. | 222 m.
So even with the additional 295 ft. gold crown & tip on top of the highest occupied floor, One Brickell is still 17 ft. higher so it's not the same height as the Bank of America tower.

One Brickell's highest occupied floor will be at 1,040 ft. | 317 m.

It won't. CTBUH's classification of occupied height is very controversial imho. They don't count mechanical floors or even multistory penthouses. F.e., 432 PA is a flat- roofed building topping out at 1,397'. Yet, the occupied height is listed as 1,287' according to the Council. Same with Nordstrom (1,522' roof, 1,450' HOF) and many other buildings. So most likely, One Brickell's figure will be <1,000'.

I very much like this tower, the design might not be something out of this world but if the cladding is of the same quality as the rest of the Brickell City Center towers (they look sexy as hell) it will be a sight to behold. This is great news for us, we have been waiting for a serious supertall to be approved for a long time. With the FAA approval developers will be encouraged to pursue more 1000 footers.

chris08876 · #20 Posted **Jun 28, 2015, 3:52 PM**

A solid supertall to the roof too.
