Miami-based real estate development firm Ytech, led by Yamal Yidios, has announced The Residences at 1428 Brickell, a 70-story luxury condominium development planned for 1428 Brickell Avenue in Miami’s Brickell Financial District. Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Italian architecture firm ACPV ARCHITECTS, the building will be the first-ever high-rise residential tower using solar energy, comprised of a limited collection of 189 fully-finished residences with two- to four-bedroom plus den units ranging from 1,800 to 4,000 square feet, and a penthouse collection of units ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 square feet. John Moriarty Associates, one of the country’s most prolific luxury condominium builders, has been selected as the general contractor. The award-winning engineering firm Cosentini Associates has been chosen as the property’s expert solar energy consultant. Cervera Real Estate serves as the sales team representing the property. 

The development will be the world’s first luxury high-rise residential tower to integrate photovoltaic glazing within the building’s façade. Solar cells are integrated into the glass, effectively elongating the panels’ lifespan to match the windows. This solar energy feature is cleverly blended into the building’s architectural aesthetic, expressing the importance of sustainability and carbon reduction across its 70 floors. The property will feature 500 photovoltaic-integrated windows along the west-facing façade, creating a “Solar Backbone” comprising nearly 20,000 square feet of energy-producing glass, producing up to 170,000 kilowatts, or 170 megawatts, of clean energy per year. The intended result is the reduction of approximately 4,700 tons of CO2 and using 3,000 barrels less of oil.

Over 80,000 square feet of amenity space will adorn The Residences at 1428 Brickell. Located 860 feet in the sky, Ytech dedicated five of the eight amenity levels within the top of the tower, which will be home to curated private and shared spaces showcasing stunning, panoramic city views.
