Full Plans Released for the Two Tower Development One Brickell Riverfront that includes Lofty Brickell
One Brickell Riverfront, a 1,160,588-square-foot mixed-use building at 99 Southwest 7th Street south of the Miami River in Brickell, has officially released all of its construction plans.
The plan calls for two skyscrapers, one of which is the 44-story Lofty Brickell, which recently broke ground, and another that will rise 43 floors. The project, which was created by Arquitectonica and Newgard Development Group, would include 919 parking places, 13,170 square feet of office space, ground floor retail space, and 784 residential units.
The developer has asked for various waivers to build One Brickell Riverfront as planned, according to a letter of intent that was filed with the application. These include a reduction in parking, approval for vehicular access with a gap of less than 60 feet, and a decrease in the distance between the two buildings from 60 to 54 feet.
Additionally, the developer is requesting approval to lower the secondary frontage setbacks above the eighth level to ten feet and to permit parking to continue into the second layer, above the first story, along the main frontage. The developer contends that these waivers encourage energy efficiency and environmentally friendly construction and that they are required because it is difficult to achieve the norms of the transect zone.
Also stated in the letter of intent The Miami 21 guiding principles, which support infill and redevelopment, mixed-use buildings, compact, pedestrian-friendly urban centers, interconnected networks of thoroughfares, a variety of open space, and appropriate building densities and land uses near transit stops, serve as the foundation for One Brickell Riverfront.
The second tower will be 530 feet tall and lofty Brickell will be 540 feet tall. The façade of the project will use a variety of materials, including cast-in-place concrete, engineered wood, perforated metal paneling, clear storefront glass, white concrete slabs, dark stucco walls, and metal window walls with grey-tinted glass.
The concept respects the spatial shape of public space while attempting to provide a range of uses, energize the pedestrian realm, and reduce interactions between automobiles and walkers. The local temperature, topography, history, and building customs will be taken into consideration when designing the architecture and landscape. follows the Miami 21 guiding principles, which support infill and redevelopment, mixed-use buildings, compact, pedestrian-friendly urban centers, interconnected networks of thoroughfares, a variety of open space, appropriate building densities, and land uses that are accessible by foot from transit stops.
