Miami’s first ever supertall office tower just broke ground in Brickell.

The groundbreaking includes the demolition of a parking structure that is currently on the site. Major Suarez, representatives from Swire and Related were in attendance.

Project approval came in September 2022 after city commissioners voted unanimously on the 1,049 foot One Brickell City Centre. The 80 story tower will be crowned the largest building ever building in the city of Miami

The skyscraper will be connected to Brickell City Centre, which was built by Swire Properties and has over 500,000 SF of retail, eating, and entertainment space, and will be situated at 700 Brickell Avenue and 799 Brickell Plaza. The project will feature 1.6 million square feet of office space.

The news represents strength and expansion for the Miami office market, which continues to draw major financial and technological firms from high-tax areas like New York and California.

Swire Properties and Related are listed as the developers for this project.
