1414 Brickell Ave Supertall Proposed Rising a Staggering 1010 FT.
1414 Brickell, LLC has submitted a pre-application to Miami-Dade County for a proposed development located at 1414 Brickell Avenue and 1421 S. Miami Avenue. The proposed mixed-use development would be situated within the RTZ Metromover subzone of Miami-Dade, helping encourage the county’s vision for mixed-use, dense projects near transit. The project would consist of an 81-story tower with 560 residential units, 84 hotel rooms, 117,310 square feet of usable office space, 6,038 square feet of retail space, and 1,226 parking spaces. While renderings and final designs have not been released, preliminary drawings show a decidedly tall tower at 1,010 feet. Along a portion of the tower is green space, and the podium is 10 floors of parking. Office space will sit closer to the ground floor, followed by a hotel, and then residential units. The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners designated the 1414 Brickell Avenue and 1421 S. Miami Avenue as within the RTZ Metromover subzone on February 21, 2024. The Properties are subject to the planning and zoning jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County despite being located in the City of Miami. For that reason, the lot mainly follows county planning and zoning jurisdiction.
“House of Wellness Hotel” Proposed in Brickell Using Rapid Transit Zoning
North at Brickell VI, LLC has submitted a Pre-Application for a new tower in Brickell named “House of Wellness Hotel”. The developer is hoping to gain a Special Exception for the development plan by designating the property as part of the “Metromover Subzone of the Rapid Transit Zone”. Through this path, the developer can achieve higher density/height for the project. It should be prefaced that the site plan, floor plans, building elevations, and overall design of the building is for reference only. The final plans will be submitted later after the developer gains the Special Exception approval. However, the height, density, and zoning parameters used in this application follow what’s allowed under the RTZ Metromover subzone. Additionally, the developer has proposed offering a monetary contribution towards improvements in the Metrorail station area, perhaps to facilitate the approval process. “House of Wellness Hotel” will include 832 hotel rooms, a 3,260 SF lobby, 347 parking spaces (although none are required under the RTZ subzone), and 12 bicycle spots. As per the site plan data, the tower will measure 43 floors or 437 FT. If the developer decides to change the height, RTZ zoning permits unlimited heights with heights only subject to FAA approval. Studio Mc+G Architecture is the main architect. The development will span 3 parcels at 132, 142, and 152 SW 9th Street.
