1414 Brickell Moves Forward as Revised Plans Introduce Design Tweaks

Plans for 1414 Brickell continue to take shape as revisions move through the review process with Miami-Dade County. The proposed supertall, designed by Arquitectonica and developed by Fortune International Group, would rise 81 floors and, if built, become the first supertall tower in Brickell. The newest plans, released within the past few days, represent the latest adjustment in a sequence of filings since the project first surfaced in late 2024, with updated renderings following in early 2025.

The project spans an assemblage at 1421 S Miami Avenue and 1414 Brickell Avenue, combining three parcels that are now under Fortune’s control. Records show the primary parcels were assembled in the early 2000s, reflecting a lengthy hold period prior to the emergence of a development proposal.

Development capacity at the site is enabled through a Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ) subzone designation approved on February 21st, 2024. RTZ zoning, a Miami-Dade framework applied along major transit corridors, permits increased height and density compared with existing zoning, and has become a commonly used entitlement path for large-scale projects in the Brickell area.

The latest plans showcase 560 residential units alongside 84 hotel keys, unchanged from the last iteration. While unit mixes remain preliminary and subject to refinement, the residential component is expected to include studios as well as one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts. Hotel accommodations would range from approximately 315 SF to 1,024 SF, depending on configuration.

Amenity offerings are centered on a rooftop pool at the uppermost level and a dedicated 2-story sky amenity deck totaling 10,629 SF of indoor space. Additional residential features have not yet been fully detailed. The hotel component is planned to include a fitness center and spa, lobby bar, lap pool, poolside grill, and outdoor lounge seating.

At street level, plans call for 6,141 SF of retail space, activating the frontage with neighborhood-serving uses along with a drop-off zone and gallery. The podium will accommodate 1,156 parking spaces, while the levels above feature 117,310 SF of office space (or 145,950 SF gross).

These figures highlight several refinements from previous submissions. Office SF remains consistent, but retail SF has been modestly increased by roughly 100 SF. Parking, meanwhile, has been reduced from 1,226 to 1,156 spaces, representing a cut of nearly 100 stalls as the program continues to be optimized.

One of the most notable revisions involves changes to the tower’s exterior. Earlier elevations depicted a more cohesive podium, with continuous glazing wrapping the office levels and concealing the garage below, creating the appearance of a seamless base rather than a distinct parking podium.

Updated renderings, however, show the podium clad in a metal mesh screen, a clear value-engineering shift from the prior design. Despite the material changes, the tower’s height remains intact, with plans for it to rise 81 floors (or approximately 1,010 FT): placing it just above the internationally recognized supertall threshold of 984 FT (300 M).

Although the project has been advancing through multiple iterations, the current submission is not expected to be final. According to a project representative, the ultimate development package will be processed under a separate Administrative Site Plan Review (ASPR) filing, which has not been submitted.

As per both Miami-Dade permitting and the City of Miami, no demolition permits or foundation work permits have been applied yet.
