Carlos Mattos Buys Brickell’s Associated Photo Building, Development Planned

Carlos Mattos has closed on the purchased of two small lots in Brickell for $9 million.

Mattos is now the proud new owner of the 10,649 square foot lot at 19 Southwest Sixth Street, and a 5,214 square foot lot across the street at 42 Southwest Sixth Street. The price equals $567 per foot.

The broker representing the seller says that the properties are slated for future development. Large-scale development will be difficult however, due to the small sizes and odd shapes of the lots.

Across the street, Mattos owns the Tobacco Road property.

Plans Revealed For Swire Properties Expansion

They brought dense, Hong Kong-style commercial development to Miami. Now they want more

Brickell City Centre, the sprawling shopping, dining and residential complex that successfully brought Hong Kong-style multi-level commercial development to Miami's financial district, now aims to expand its footprint to a fourth block.


Swire Properties has filed plans with the city of Miami for an extension of its existing special area plan that would comprise two condo towers, one of them with a three-level retail base. Both towers would be connected to each other and the existing three-block complex by new skybridges.

The application represents a sign of confidence in the dense, interlinked and pedestrian-friendly model of urban mixed-use development that Swire brought to Miami, said Kieran Bowers, president of the Hong Kong-based firm's U.S. operations.


"It’s really doubling down on your existing effort," Bowers said. "It goes back to what the model is. The more critical mass you add, the more successful all the different elements are. We are really happy with the location. Commercially it's been a success, so we're looking to add more to it."

The towers would occupy the triangular block where the legendary Tobacco Road bar once stood as well as an adjacent wedge of land formerly home to Associated Photo. The block, across South Miami Avenue and Seventh Street from the existing complex, would square off Brickell City Centre by filling in its northwest quadrant, Bowers noted.

The expansion plan, like the existing complex, was designed by Arquitectonica, the Miami-based global architecture giant.

Bowers said the mixed-use, 588-unit tower on the triangular block would be built first, in a joint venture by Swire and Tobacco Road Property Holdings, which bought the old bar lot and adjacent buildings from longtime owners in 2012. The block, which includes a corner building housing the popular River Oyster House, would be cleared for the new tower. The Oyster House has a deal to move elsewhere, Bowers said.

Interesting developments. Both of these proposed towers appear to be around the same height as the rest in BCC so I'm guessing two more 500+ footers.
