Revealed: 930-Foot Tower Proposed At 1210 Brickell Avenue

Plans have been filed with Miami City Planners for the 76-story Ora by Casa Tua tower at 1210 Brickell Avenue.

A 7-story parking garage will be demolished to make way for the new tower. A 20-story office building on the site will remain.

The new tower is proposed to rise 930 feet, short of supertall status (supertalls are defined as being 300 meters, or 984 feet).

The new development is proposed to include:

540 residential units
53,841 square feet of office
24,260 square feet of commercial
955 car parking spaces, and 1,980 bike parking spaces
There will be three basement levels with subterranean parking. There will also be around 10 floors of above-ground garage parking (around 206 spaces are needed for the existing office building under zoning rules). The car parking space quotas required by zoning are being reduced through an exchange for bike spaces.

Commercial space will be located on levels 1, mezzanine, 9, 10, and 75.

Amenity areas will be located on levels 9, 10, 11, 43, 44, and 76. Pools will be located on levels 9 and 75.

Residential will be located on levels 12 through 42, and 45 through 74. Office is planned on levels 2 through 8.

A sky garden is planned on level 44, with additional landscaping on level 75.

Planters with hanging landscaping are planned on the office levels. Garage screening is planned through the use of perforated metal stamped with an image.

Arquitectonica is the architect. Fortune International is the developer

Such a crazy design, love-hate relationship with this monster.

[dave8721]

Certainly better than the ghastly garage its replacing: https://www.google.com/maps/@25.761769,-...itch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192

[UrbanImpact]

This is a monster. In my opinion, the office portion below helps make the large tower block above more palatable.

[Zapatan]

Wow, that space up top will be epic, too.

[ernestoaragon]

I like the illusion of movement the design has.

[colemonkee]

Love the office floors at the base, but the tower is just ho-hum. Could be decent with quality materials, though.

I really like these sky garden floors.

They feel very futuristic to me.

[Altoic]

40% sold, sales began a few months ago. This is moving fast because it allows for short-term rentals.

[wanderer34]

Very sleek and very modern! Another notch to Miami's booming skyline!

[BrickellBased]

Simple, modern, and tall. Looks great.

For the record, isn't this tower supposed to be 1,044 ft above ground or 1,049 above sea level??? Just wanted to verify the final tower's height right here.

Title was updated to reflect new info.

1,044 feet would be the figure. AMSL would account for any topography height gains.
