1414 Brickell, LLC, associated with Fortune International Group, has revealed plans for one of the tallest proposals in Brickell. Plans originally surfaced in October of last year concerning a pre-application with Miami-Dade, revealing an 81-floor tower designed by Arquitectonica. The developer is continuing these plans, albeit with minor tweaks to the exterior design. Plans include a mixed-use 81-story tower with 560 units, 84 hotel rooms, 117,310 SF of usable office space (145,950 GSF), 6,038 SF of commercial space, and 1,226 parking spaces. Significant density and height pictured in the renderings below are made possible given an RTZ District Subzone designation approved for the property on February 21, 2024. However, because the project exceeds certain zoning allowances, the property necessitates a Special Exception under Miami-Dade.
The tower is no long subdivided into rectangles, but will feature a sleek, flat, highrise with square cutouts for greenery and large balcony space. In addition, the parking podium will be masked with glass, uncharacteristic of most towers in Brickell. Elevations showcase a 1010 FT “supertall” tower, the max height permissible according to the FAA. The bottom floor will consist of retail, a gallery, and parking. Then, floors 12 to 23 will contain office and hotel space, followed by residential uses from floors 24 to 79. Finally, on floors 80 to 81, there will be sizeable residential amenities with a pool deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Site plan photos show retail fronting SE 14th St, S Miami Ave, and Brickell Avenue. Sidewalks will also extend generously to 15 FT, giving significant pedestrian improvements to the area. According to floor plans, units will be in studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, and 3 bedroom configurations for most of the tower.
The project still needs to move through a separate Administrative Site Plan Review, where final renderings and polished plans will be released for extensive review. Current renderings are for reference only, and will likely change.
