Wow. Quite unique. I love Miami's style lately.

^^^Agree this is beautiful.

The design is ok but I wish this could be twice as tall as proposed but what can you do with a lot that is only half an acre ?

Good news, this, along with 1111 Brickell Bay Drive, was approved by the Urban Development Review Board.

Compare to one in OP.

You know you're dealing with Miami when the Urban Design Review Board rejects a design because it's "too boring." I love it. :cheers:

In the link, someone commented on it saying this:

" The board was taken with colors being added to the original design?
I guess they were on LSD. Architectonica needs a break to recharge their creativity batteries….".

:haha:

But now that I think about it, with regards to Architectonica, its kinda true lol.

Arquitectonica was Miami's avant garde architectural firm whose unique designs over 3 decades ago made them stand out at the time.
Many people have been critical of them since a lot of their recent designs for Miami has a cookie cutter element to it.
One would think they would be kinder to their hometown .

@ Altoic ,

There is an existing project. This is a long term project, hence the delays, but latest news is fantastic.

Merged your post into the original thread and renamed title to include latest information. Major = 888 Brickell.

Thank you!

that makes two supertalls on deck for miami -- is that correct? crazy talk!

This one, 888 Brickell and Waldorf Astoria are pretty much going to happen. Especially Waldorf.

Another, One Bayfront Plaza, appears to have good odds but we will see with that one.

Also, keep an eye out for 1420 South Miami Avenue.

Just an idea:

Recently on a side note One Brickell Citycentre applied for an FFA permit.

wait, i thought this one is 888 brickell? there are two here?

waldorf was the other miami supertall i was thinking of.

and will definitely keep a look out for 1420 and for bayfront news, gracias. :tup:

^^^^

MAJOR is 888 Brickell, it's just the marketing name (MAJOR that is). Same project. I think it might of been how I wrote it above. I meant "this one", meaning the project in this tread. But my fault... the comma made it confusing.

Point being, a lot is happening in Miami! :cheers:

Jesus. Is Miami ever getting to get a Supertall? I hope it does, but I feel like there's been 27 Supertall proposals for 5 years now.
