Santander Tower Set to Rise in Brickell – New Utility Agreement Finalized with Miami-Dade County

October 28, 2024

Santander Bank’s affiliate has taken a significant step forward with plans for its new development on Brickell Avenue. A recently finalized agreement with Miami-Dade County, dated October 11th, grants the bank the necessary utilities to power its ambitious tower project, dubbed Santander Tower. This high-rise is set to become a major addition to the Miami skyline, bringing a mixed-use tower with ample amenities and office spaces to the heart of Brickell.

According to documents, Santander Tower is designed as a high-rise complex that will stand 41 stories tall and reach a height of 765 feet. It will be designed by acclaimed architectural firms Handel Architects and Bernardi & Peschard Arquitectura, merging innovative design with functionality to create a seamless addition to Brickell’s ever-growing skyline.

Here’s what the building is set to include:

Office Space: A substantial 635,000 square feet of premium office space.

Retail: 60,000 square feet dedicated to retail establishments, making the tower a central shopping hub.

Dining: A 50,000-square-foot full-service restaurant area to cater to professionals, residents, and visitors.

Fitness Center/Gym: 20,000 square feet allocated for a state-of-the-art fitness center, providing wellness amenities for office tenants and residents alike.

A demolition permit for the site has already been issued, paving the way for initial preparations. The tower is set to bring 1,496 parking spaces, per an earlier filing with the City of Miami, which should alleviate some of the parking demands in the area.

Santander Tower is expected to offer a blend of work, retail, dining, and wellness spaces, catering to the needs of both local professionals and residents. Brickell Avenue remains one of Miami’s most sought-after locations, and this project will add substantial value to the area’s urban landscape, supporting continued growth and development in Miami’s financial district.
