I see it's supposed to be on one of the future zones for one the towers of Brickell City Center.

No, it is a block north of the tower you are thinking of.

Thanks, DGM

When you say "downgraded," when was this originally proposed and at what height?

I didn't look at the PDF but I like the idea of this project.

326 seems short for a 34-story highrise these days.

the mybrickell website got updated with a brochure of the project, showing some nice renderings of the building alongside brickell citicenter.

EXTREMELY INTERESTING! There go my imaginary buildings again that aren't really planned because I'm reading too much into things. Oh, well! We'll see!

Sara, if you are still having trouble posting photos, I can post them through my own Flickr account if you like. I was looking forward those pictures of yours from the Four Seasons. Check out my Breast Cancer Awareness Month photo set on the QuantumPx thread.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those pictures. Will get it set up for you :-)

I'm curious to see exactly what mr perez will do for the view between the building he already put up (500 brickell) and his new tower. Is he that big of a deutsche fk that he'd totally ruin the view of those big one bedroom units of 500?

Get over it 1max2nv. It's a city, not the burbs. If you buy a unit looking into an empty lot, you have got to know that one day somebody is going to build on it. In reality, the "deutsche" would be the person who bought an apartment that borders an undeveloped lot. IMHO.

Related plans second tower at MyBrickell, Edgewater tower

The Related Group is planning a 250-unit condominium tower on Biscayne Bay at the site of the stalled Onyx 2 on the Bay.

Miami-based Related won a $15.3 million foreclosure judgment tied to the site in October.

In 2008, an affiliate of BNP Paribas filed a foreclosure lawsuit against O2 LLC and guarantor BAP Development over a $9.1 million mortgage. Related’s PRH NE 28th Street LLC acquired the mortgage in June.

The property, at Northeast 28th Street and Biscayne Bay, will include 1,200-square-foot units priced at $350 a square foot, which is the downtown Miami average. (That works out to a per-unit price of $420,000.)

The tower would be located in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood, just north of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.

Related is also planning a second tower at the 192-unit MyBrickell development. The push for a second tower is driven by the response so far, with about 40 percent of units reserved with a 10 percent deposit, said a source familiar with the project.

MyBrickell is priced at just less than $300 a square foot. The project signifies a further comeback for Related Chairman and CEO Jorge Perez, who had to work out some situations with lenders during the economic downturn.

You guys need to slow down and read. The article is about a planned tower in edgewater and then goes on to talk about the second tower at MyBrickell. One tower in edgewater and one tower in Brickell. Most articles aren't written for people follow every piece of news about skyscrapers on a forum.

^^MHR, what you are showing us photos of is Millennium Partners property, for which they seem to have something planned.

the mybrickell website got updated with a brochure of the project, showing some nice renderings of the building alongside brickell citicenter.

I think you're wrong. Read carefully. Saying "a second tower at the mybrickell site" when referring to mybrickell is like saying "the tower at the Sears tower site," you would just say mybrickell and Sears tower, respectively. I don't know, you may be right and probably are, if so their diction was a little misleading and redundant.

How can you have a second tower at the MyBrickell site on a different site?

You guys need to slow down and read. The article is about a planned tower in edgewater and then goes on to talk about the second tower at MyBrickell. One tower in edgewater and one tower in Brickell. Most articles aren't written for people follow every piece of news about skyscrapers on a forum.


The title of the article is misleading though. Even if we did slow down and read, what it essentially says at the beginning is that there is a second tower planned at the MyBrickell site called Edgewater tower, which I knew was not possible.

The title of the article is misleading though. Even if we did slow down and read, what it essentially says at the beginning is that there is a second tower planned at the MyBrickell site called Edgewater tower, which I knew was not possible.

So people thought there is a second tower called edgewater tower, but the article also talks about a tower in edgewater. So basically you would have to have thought they are building an edgewater tower in Brickell and an unnamed tower in edgewater. ????

I read the article earlier and in no way did I or anyone in my office even remotely come to any other conclusion other than they were building another tower in edgewater. Only on this forum do you get the crazy speculation which I'm assuming is from the excitement for new development. I agree the title was misleading but that's how most titles are when they take out words to try to condense them. It like if they say "two ships collide, one dies" you could take that to mean one of the ships dies but it obviously means one person died.

Besides which there is no room for a second tower on the MyBrickell site. That's what I was pointing out to MHR. How would a second tower on another site be at the MyBrickell site.

That article really reads as a tower is planned in Edgewater and a 2nd tower in addition to the first at MyBrickell, regardless if there is room at the MyBrickell lot.

"Related is also planning a second tower at the 192-unit MyBrickell development. The push for a second tower is driven by the response so far, with about 40 percent of units reserved with a 10 percent deposit, said a source familiar with the project."
That paragraph does not make a lick of sense if they are speaking about the already announced tower for the site.

What we need is Chuck to come down and clear this up with a visit to the "nice lady" at the MyBrickell sales office.

Why are you getting so bent out of shape because somebody simply misinterpreted a poorly written article? Actually, it could have been written better with even fewer words. So we have a tower planned at MyBrickell and one planned in Edgewater by Related. Wonderful!:):cheers:

...

Is it? Is it? Is it? :laugh:

There will be another tower close to the current mybrickell site.

Of course there will be. BFC2, as it used to be called, has been planned for years. What tower are you referring to? It seems Millennium Partners does indeed have one planned after all. I sent you a private message, btw, in case you didn't notice.

The property directly to the west of MyBrickell (abutting the hypothetical mellenium buildling on its south side)? It had the same owner as the tennis club (which was purchased by swire). This land was not included in the BCC project but was it also purchased by Swire?

BIG LOLS :lol:

The second tower is not physically adjacent to the first tower. It will be on S Miami Ave, between Apollo Bank & Rosinella. The lot directly east of Axis.

Do you know why they stopped using that lot for parking? Same thing for the Flatiron lot.

Apparently, I Belive we are starting to see a trend, with brickell growning westward with projects like Mybrickell and Brickell Citi - Centre.. Wouldnt be suprised to see a few more projects be announced for this area.

I wouldn't say it's growing westward yet. There are already projects (Axis, Infinity, Neo Vertika, Latitude, etc.) to the west of the project. When you start seeing projects on the west side of the metrorail is when I would say Brickell is growing westward.

And I think that is where development is going to eventually have to go. The demand for Brickell is high but it's quickly becoming unaffordable. Studios at MyBrickell are already sold out. So while they have posted advertising pricing starting at $160k, the only thing available is probably in the mid $200's.

For quite some time now many of the little 2 story apartments in West Brickell that were built back in the 50's are being offered for sale "for land value only". Which I think is real estate speak for: "I want WAY the hell more than you could possibly pay me for this land since your just going to tear it down and build a 50 story skyscraper on it anyway".

Why is that "WAY the hell more"?

If its zoned to handle a skyscraper and there is demand for a skyscraper why would you sell it for less????

Lookin at Miami Downtown from Both Ariel and Street Viewpoints, it would led you to believe that the skyscrapers would extend northward from the miami river to where the proposed Miami World Center site. But after the biscayne wall, its just a bunch of stores and industrial and commerial blocks.

Why has no one thought about building a mall there or a few condo's, its within walking distance to AAA and Bayfront Park?

Before the last decade there hasn't been any demand for residential downtown. When the condo boom happened it was about speculation. So if you were trying to sell a condo at $500 SF as a second home they needed to be able to sell a view. So everything was built either along Biscayne or the river. Once those sites were used up they started to move more inland (Loft 2 for example). It would have continued but then the bubble burst and projects like Loft 3 never got out of the ground.

And now not much else will be there for a while because most of the development will be to support where the residential from the last boom was built.

^ Thanks for Clarifying, At least we enthusiasts can look forward to Brickell Citi-Centre, and maybe just maybe, RWM, if gambling gets approved. Im not sure about brickell house.

Do you know why they stopped using that lot for parking? Same thing for the Flatiron lot.

Yes, there are 100% going to be 2 towers in MyBrickell. According to the tax rolls, Related does not currently own the new site but it could either still be in escrow or simply not yet reported. I can only assume the parking contract didn't survive the sale but is purely speculation.

Not sure what's going on with the flatiron lot. I've asked several people & nobody seems to know. It doesn't seem large enough for any sort of substantial structure, I always thought it would be fantastic as a little park but that's just me. The park people keep screaming for a Brickell park & want to put it on Millenium's riverfront lot but that's not going to happen.

"The vehicle needs to be remove" "The graffiti needs to be remove" "The banner needs to be remove"

That drives me nuts.

"The vehicle needs to be remove" "The graffiti needs to be remove" "The banner needs to be remove"

^^English literacy optional

The Pointe at Brickell was approved on the lot to the east of Axis back in 2005 or 2006 as a 42 story condo. It was for sale with the approved plans, I wonder if they are going to have a brand new design or re-use the previously approved one?

"Grafitti has to be removed".... Really?

I've seen people doing graffitis here in Miami and the cops do nothing about it. So, I think this developer should ask for its taxes back since these cops do nothing but having their smoothies at Smothie King Brickell and parking their police cars on the sidewalk.

Is that enough to start construction? Or is it 80% presold? And is it both towers, or just one. Construction is not going to be financed in a traditional way, so it is up to the developer when he has enough committements for his liking to break ground.

They do not have one single purchase agreement executed yet.
Only reservation agreements.
The word from sales is that they will will go to contract in Jan. with buyers putting down 20%. The word is that they will break ground in Feb/March.

Related Group set to build the first downtown Miami condo since 2008
South Florida Business Journal by Oscar Pedro Musibay, Reporter

As The Related Group prepares for construction of its 192-unit MyBrickell condominium in Miami’s Brickell financial district – the first new downtown condo project to actually begin building since 2008 – the company is already priming its second downtown project.

Originally planned as a second phase to MyBrickell, the site at 1100 S. Miami Ave. may have a different identity. The two developments are important because they are expected to seed the market for new projects from several developers.

Related’s push to produce new condo product is driven, in part, by demand from Brazilian buyers. That demand is fueling more ...

I would give them some credit for being unconventional. Especially for building a Luxury (ish) building without a single dedicated parking space.

The skybridge connecting the MyBrickell residential building to a completely different residential building where owners of MyBrickell can use 500 Brickell's amenities deck and parking is somthing that I have never seen in Miami in the last 20 years.

^^ Oh wait, I had not seen that O.o My mistake. They do deserve to be recognized as such, got rid of the car-culture, at least.

^^ Oh wait, I had not seen that O.o My mistake. They do deserve to be recognized as such, got rid of the car-culture, at least.A little bit.
It is directly accross the street from the 5th Street Metromover station. The 500 Brickell Building now has a drycleaner, Pizza Rustica, CitiBank, Bon Fromage, Finnegan's on Brickell, the MyBrickell Sales Center, another bar, and room for a couple more commercial spaces.
And it is 5 blocks from MBV. I think this is a smart project.

You forgot to mention the kickass shopping mall that, in 3 years, will be a block or 2 away.

It looks soooooooooo tiny!

It doesn't even look as though it's 326 feet tall to me.

I like it because it make its neighbors look taller.

Sure makes it stand out how much space is wasted on parking podiums. The roof of the parking garage of 500 Brickell is even with MyBrickell's 14th floor (13th but they always skip that and call it the "14th").

Or how much taller you can make your cities buildings (if you wanna look at it from the positive). ;)

Gives Brickell a nice change in scale, I love it.
