New Development Announced in Brickell-Westpine
Westpine, a 43-story residential tower, has just had its plans submitted in Brickell. Westpine will have a 474-foot high peak and will feature 328 residential units, 1,155 square feet of retail, and 357 spaces for parking.
A multifamily building with 24 units that was built in 1964 is currently on the 0.7-acre site.
Westpine Brickell LLC is listed as the developer and Behar Font Partners as the architect. Westpine Brickell LLC, an affiliate of Westpine partners originally purchased the site for $11.53 million.
Instead of being referred to the City of Miami for review under city zoning regulations, the project was submitted to the Miami-Dade County Planners for review under their Rapid Transit Zoning Metromover Subzone.
On December 9, a pre-application meeting with county planners was sought.
Brickell, also known as the Financial District of Miami, is home to a large number of international banks such as HSBC, Espirito Santo Bank, and Banco Santander.
These Brickell Miami banks are predominantly located along Brickell Avenue – the main thoroughfare running through Brickell Miami and extending north to south from the Brickell Avenue Bridge to the Rickenbacker Causeway.
Brickell Miami is considered to be one of South Florida’s most prestigious neighborhoods and is a perennial favorite place to live among affluent, young professionals.
