Brazilian Developer Buys Chicken Lot Across From Mary Brickell Village; 48-Story Ibis Hotel In The Works

The ‘chicken lot’ across from Mary Brickell Village has been sold to a Brazilian developer, and a 48-story project could be coming.

GW Brickell LLC, is the buyer. The company is managed by José Luis Galvêas Loureiro, the founder of Galwan, a developer based in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Galwan is one of the largest builders in Brazil, and has developed thousands of residential and hotel rooms there.

Galwan is likely planning a mixed-use tower on the site. The developer recently announced a partnership with Accor Hotels of France to build an Ibis Hotel in Brickell. The project will include 400 rooms in a 48-story tower, with an eight-story parking garage. It will also include residential units, office space, and ground-floor retail. Total investment will exceed $100 million.

Accor operates the Sofitel hotel near the Miami airport. The Ibis chain is the budget brand of Accor, and the Brickell hotel will be the first Ibis in the U.S. The Galwan-Accor partnership has already completed several Ibis hotels in Brazil.

GW Brickell paid $26 million, for the 22,770-square-foot property, which is located at 88 S.W. 10th Street – valuing the land at $1,142 per square foot. It has been known for years as the home of a group of chickens, and has recently been used as a staging area for the Nine at Mary Brickell Village project.

The seller was Rockville Hospitality of Maryland. An affiliate of the seller provided $11 million in financing.

It is unclear if the site will be large enough to accommodate a project of the size planned by Galwan. A neighboring apartment building is owned by former Miami Beach commission candidate Elsa Urquiza. A 7-Eleven and another residential property round out the block.

Soil Testing At Brickell Chicken Lot Where Brazilians Plan 48-Story Hotel

Soil testing appears to be underway at a lot across from Mary Brickell Village, where construction workers still feed the chickens living there.

GW Brickell LLC purchased the 22,770-square-foot property at 88 S.W. 10th Street earlier this year. A Brazilian developer controls the purchasing entity, and has said that they intend to developer a 48-story Ibis hotel there.

Just a few feet away, a property owner of Native American descent has made headlines around the world after he claimed to have found historic artifacts and a ground spring on his property. He has said that he has refused offers from developers to sell his home. Dade archaeologist Jeff Ransom told the Miami New Times that the claims were a stretch.

Brazilians Building A 43-Story Ibis Hotel On Brickell’s Chicken Lot
By TNM Staff on September 21, 2015

Brazilian developer Galwan is moving forward with plans to build a 520-room hotel on Brickell’s ‘chicken lot’.

The company clinched a deal with Dade County last week for utilities that will allow them to build 520 rooms at 88 S.W. 10th Street. Galwan will pay a connection charge estimated to be $346,634.

The hotel is expected to carry the Ibis flag, a budget brand of Accor Hotels of France. It will rise 43 stories, including seven levels of parking and three levels of amenity and restaurant space.

Galwan bought the 22,770-square-foot property across from Mary Brickell Village earlier this year. Soil testing is already underway, and the company recently said that they expect to complete construction by 2018.

Investment for the project comes from 64 partners in Brazil, mostly from the state of Espirito Santo. Total investment is said to be around $130 million.

Arquitectonica is the project architect.

They reduced the amount of floors from 48 to 43 & the rendering is unrealistic compared to the photo posted above. It appears the lot is smaller than in the rendering so I'm expecting a skinnier tower especially since it will sit atop a 7 level parking garage. Possibly another 500 + footer too!

This is very pretty and unique.

This looks like a design that could either turn out amazing or really bad. It'll all come down to quality of the materials.

44-Story Wyndham Could Begin Construction In Brickell Soon

Brazilian developer Galwan has been taking steps to begin construction on a 44-story Wyndham Hotel across from Mary Brickell Village.

As of last week, the lot has been mostly cleared. It was previously used as a staging area for another nearby construction project.

On October 18, a construction permit was filed for with the city, with Amicon listed as the qualifying contractor. No review of the permit has yet taken place by any city officials.

According to the filing, the new tower will rise 44 stories or 464 feet, and include 445 rooms. Construction cost is estimated at $80 million.

In December, a water and sewer agreement was signed with Miami Dade County’s utilities department.

According to the utilities agreement, the project will include 445 rooms and 11,389 square feet of retail.

FAA APPROVES GALWAN’S 42-STORY WYNDHAM HOTEL IN BRICKELL AFTER 16 MONTHS OF REVIEW

The Federal Aviation Authority has given approval for a 42-story hotel Wyndham Hotel to begin construction across from Mary Brickell Village and the Brickell Metrorail station.

According to the FAA ruling issued yesterday, the tower can be built at 480 feet above ground, or 485 feet above sea level.

Review by the agency took 16 months, with the application first submitted in August 2018.

Brazilian developer Galwan is planning 445 hotel rooms and 11,389 square feet of retail, according to an agreement with Miami-Dade’s Water and Sewer Department that was recorded in December 2018.

Construction isn’t likely to begin anytime soon though. Although a dry run construction permit was filed last year, it has been abandoned and no active permitting now appears to be taking place. The lot remains empty as of yesterday.

Since I love Miami, it pains me to see such ridiculous, crappy towers being built there. Whoever is in charge of new development in Coral Gables (which is beautiful) should become the "Development Czar" in Brickell because most of this junk is nauseating. A vibrant, tropical paradise warrants better than this basura.
