Conceptual Site Plan Revealed for Citadel’s New Headquarters
A pre-application was filed on Friday (7/19/24) for 1201 Brickell Bay Drive, the site of Citadel’s new global headquarters. Although plans aren’t official and the purpose of the pre-application request was to review the RTZ site plan approval process, it’s progress. In an attached letter, plans call for the development to be in phases. The first phase will be the office at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive using applicable RTZ regulations. According to plans, the headquarters will be mixed-use. There will be a flagship hotel, office space, retail, health/fitness, food/beverage, and ample parking. Likewise, there will be a large baywalk with trees and a 55.92′ setback. On the right side of the lot, there will be a hotel drop off and an office drop off at the tower’s frontage. If conceptual drawings materialize, there will be a public terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay. Drawings show the tower as rounded. As it rises, it will slope upwards into a tapered design (please see example image below). As reported months ago, Foster and Partners will be the main architect. The architect on record according to conceptual plans is AAI architects.
