Empire Brickell, a 26-story tower by the Swiss-based Empira Group, is advancing rapidly towards construction. When finished, it will join the growing number of multifamily developments near key transit nodes such as the Metrorail. This transit-focused project will include 310 residential units, 2,450 square feet of commercial space, and 380 parking spots.

Three significant construction permits have already been applied to Miami’s permitting software, indicating swift progress to meet the expected 2026 opening date. Of the three permits are a phased vertical construction permit, a site plan improvements permit, and a master building permit. The three permits aren’t final and still need time for approval. Thus, the site work permit is awaiting applicant corrections, the phased permits need applicant uploads, and the master building permit is still in-review.

The building can move forward with construction in conjunction with JAXI Builders (the project’s General Contractor) once approved. Demolition has already finalized on the site weeks ago as per recent photos and google satellite imagery.

Corwil architects is the main architect. The project is located at 901 Southwest 3rd Avenue.
