Action Starts At 1101 Brickell, Miami's Next Tallest Building
Thursday, October 4, 2012, by Sean McCaughan

Earlier this year developer Tibor Hollo (a guy that's been building things in this town for as long as anyone can remember) announced his stalled project 1101 Brickell, Miami's future tallest building, would begin construction at the end of the year. Well, continuing today's apparent Curbed Miami theme of previously stalled big name projects that are back on line, Hollo told the Daily Business Review, in an article about one of Miami's last Bayfront parcels, that site work has already begun on 1101 Brickell. (How's that for a run-on sentence?) That would mean late September or early October, three solid months before the end of 2012. The building was originally designed by architect Kobi Karp to be 80 stories, 849 feet tall, and entirely residential except for a retail segment at ground level, which is presumably still the case.

Nice size

Aren't they having a problem in Miami selling condo units that are ALREADY CONSTRUCTED?

Why would developers build more?

They are not having problems selling, which is why developers are building more (just not at the crazy pace as during the boom). Many of these condos are bought from international buyers.

Ahh gotcha, I thought there were still tons of empty units on the market in Miami.

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/bu...fill-up/nL5PY/

74% condos were occupied in 2010, I'm not sure what the number are now.

For a new tallest, the design is... lacking. But good to see that a new tallest is moving forward.

In any case this it would be awesome if it got built, yet One Bay Plaza, if finished first would top this

Still beats hell out of the ill-fated Met III. It's a worthier tallest.

Also from what I've seen they are considering launching it as a rental tower. Rentals in the downtown area are something like 95% occupied with rental prices rising a good 10% to 20% per year. Brickell's median rent was up to $2,239/month at the end of 2011.

Quote from the developer:

Its pretty ho-hum for a new tallest, and the Banco Santander Design which is a thousand times better and right around the corner from this site would only be 840-feet high so 1101 Brickell would still be the tallest until (if) One Bayfront Plaza got built.

I actually like the overall shape, not so much the podium. Is that a sort of glass ring at the top ?

As Dale said, better than the Met 3 proposal.

I think it's attractive... just looks exactly like all the others... white with bluish-green glass/balconies. I like a tallest to stand out... this will just look like the king surrounded by all his midget condo subjects.

Definitely nice, but nothing inspiring or exciting., considering the lack of originality.

That sure does look taller than 849 feet. If I didn't see the height listed I'd think it's a supertall.

Actually, yes it is. it's super tallest tower. I think they have more than 80 floors. I don't believe if they have observation deck or not. It's whether if they build one.

Miami deserves better...looks like an over sized generic condo tower just like the others that have sprung up all around Miami. none the less it will add to the Density and overall quality of the skyline.

"supertall" means over 1000 feet.

It reminds me of a bigger version of the Austonian.

The Austonian is a much more distinctive design though... a taller Austoninan would stand out on the Miami skyline. This new one in Miami is nice, but just too similar to all of the other new "Florida" style condos built in Miami in the last boom.

^^Agreed! This tower is "meh"

Wow! I remember how giddy South Floridians were about Met III being a new tallest. This one is tons more poetic.

^ Well, I think with the huge high-rise boom that Miami had, people are naturally going to want and expect more now. If this one was proposed 7 years ago, I'm sure the reaction would be more positive.

But when you already have this...

However, from this view, it looks like it could have a more dramatic impact on the skyline

Impact or not, it's still a dull (yet attractive) building in a city full of dull (yet attractive) skyscrapers. Miami really needs to step it's design up a few notches. Steal something from Melbourne because who wouldn't want to see something like this in Miami?

^ I actually don't like any of those Melbourne proposals AT ALL.

Miami is at the whim of real estate developers as far as "design" goes right now. When residential towers are the only buildings going up, innovative design takes a back seat. They are building "bang for their buck". Design is determined by the market in Miami. When you consider the ridiculous amount of major development that happened in Miami from around 2005 to 2010, there was not a single great piece of architecture added to the skyline -- and that's a shame. Miami's best "new" skyscrapers, office and residential, were built in the 1980s and 90s.

I've actually always been partial to that three tower complex designed by Architecnia,or whatever their names is. The towers look like three cubes stacked on top of each other. Very catching.

^ I think you're referring to the Icon Brickell complex -- yeah, I like too.

It's exciting to have a higher peak, but ultimately it will get lost in the below:

^ It will actually become the focal point for that perspective, being that it'll be smack in the middle, substantially taller than the clutch of towers to either side. It will be, from that perspective, a noticeable new tallest.

Build it

Very fitting for the surroundings, yet no masterpiece. Sure it would make a nice addition to the skyline.

That's because it is an oversized generic condo tower.
How many cities out there wish they could be getting 800ft generic condo towers right now though?

I've got no problems with it. That it'll be the new tallest is just an accident of timing. If it does end up at that height, it will be outdone before the decade is out.

Every city save New York and Chicago would love to be getting this tower. It's only kinda boring because it's in Miami

Slightly different (but still rather bland and generic looking) rendering used in a South Florida Business Journal article today. Also the building has been named "Panorama Tower":
http://www.bizjournals.com/southflor...ter-could.html

This is just the beginning of the supertall skyscraper in miami.

The problem is developer Tibor Hollo is used to building towers that sit on top of parking podiums. The tower it self isn't bad but the base is blase' to say the least. This is what the market dictates though since the buyers will be wealthy & have cars even though mass transit is literally at their feet with a Metromover station nearby. These buyers are not going to want to park their Benz or BMWs on the street even though it's a relatively safe neighborhood.

PS: I just wish Hollo would begin One Bayfront Plaza already instead of wasting his time building his millionth condo tower!

How is this pronounced?

Brick-"elle" or Brick-"kull"

This looks much more contemporary than the previous rendering. Still, it's just a nice design that has been done to death. Miami needs to think higher up in terms of skyscraper design.

For daring designs, in the Miami area, look to Sunny Isles Beach.

the second pronounciation sounds more like it.

I didn't even know this tower was proposed. Seems okay I guess. Hopefully when all these generic condos achieve a sizeable working population, Miami could start building some iconic office buildings or at least something with a design that is different from the constant style chosen today.

That really isn't how it works. Jobs lead to permanent residents. I would imagine most of these condos are vacation homes.

Redesigned tower with 821 residential units and 128 hotel units plus over 82,000 square feet of retail and almost 40,000 square feet of office space. The FAA cut the tower from 849 to 830 feet above sea level leaving a final height of 822 feet above the street.

FECR has applied for permits to demolish the parking garage that currently sits on the site.

Wow! I don't really remember where the old parking garage is. I haven't touch yet.

Just a few more floors to go! :D

stoked for this one :)

Does a height cut of only 19 feet really matter, if so why? Obviously it does as the FAA wouldn't really meddle with private businesses otherwise, right?
