New Residential Tower Announced in Brickell
Chicago-based developer Focus has recently released renderings for a new 39-story residential tower in Brickell. The abandoned Starlite Motel land in Brickell is where the residential tower will be built. The Starlite Motel has already been demolished in preparation for construction.
On August 30, Miami-Dade County received the zoning and general plan applications. The project is being approved through the county's Rapid Transit zoning procedure, which has grown to be a popular substitute for the City of Miami approval procedure. From a pre-application submission on August 4, renderings have been revised. Gensler is the architect.
Development Information:
- 517 residential units
- 8,282 sq. ft. of ground floor
- indoor/outdoor and rooftop amenity space
- 506 parking spaces
According to a letter from the developer, the project also has cross-block connectivity on the ground floor via a driveway and walkway on the west side of the property, which will enhance both vehicular and pedestrian circulation inside and outside the development.
