Wow, BFC and 1450 top off on the same day.

I thought BFC topped out a couple weeks ago?

1450 is looking real nice from the southern approach on Brickell Ave. The slight angle on the bldg causes the building to extend out and sort of "mark" the entrance into brickell by peeking above the street. The angle (turn) on brickell ave south of 1450 also amplifies this effect. It kind of encloses (hugs?) that section of Brickell Ave which is framed by Epic and Met 2 on the other end.

Made of glass, its almost like a diamond marking the entrance into brickell Ave. When I saw the renderings, I didnt think that the angle of the building would be so noticeable, but in real life its quite noticeable. All that is missing is a bldg on the other (east) side of the street.

Concurrently, I like how Brickell Icon's tower looks when viewed from Brickell Ave a few blocks South of the site. Only a thin sliver of the western bldg is visible, and the four cubes really stand out and almost seem to float. Under certain light and angles the grey paint that isolates the different "cubes" is very successful. I've seen the bldg from many angles and dont think the cubes are always very succesful (optically) at standing out, but from the South on Brickell Ave the tower as it peeks into the street (with its four cubes) it looks great with all the other bldgs around it. It especially looks great with all the newly completed bldgs around it, and a real canyon is starting to form in that area.
Every day when I look north from around 9th street on Brickell, I imagine what that section of the skyline (from ground level) will look when Met 2 and BFC 1 are finished. When they are, its going to close the skyline completely and create a inward U shaped canyon (from Brickell Ave)...

They should just build every building with that glass. 1450 and Met 2 are spectacular.

The photo of 1450 from afar and on top of the other building looks like it was taken the same day! The light and haze out towards the ocean are almost identical.

Thanks Q.

DWNTWN · February 22nd, 2009, 04:14 AM

1450 looks absolutely spectacular! It looks stunning alongside ESP and Met 2.

Vitruvius09 · February 22nd, 2009, 06:14 PM

banco santander can no longer compete with that outdated style they will start construction in 2 years guaranteed...

1450 is looking very good

Architek · February 22nd, 2009, 07:06 PM

the glass is perfect even better than met2....banco santander has lost over a billion dollars, they cant

SkyDiveJunkee · February 22nd, 2009, 08:17 PM

Great gateway building for Brickell!

What is going on with the streetscaping plan for Brickell Ave? As one of Miami's great avenues, the City should be investing in a beautification project for this area (I remember a plan a few years ago).

spellbound · February 22nd, 2009, 10:09 PM

That is going to be a handsome building. Thanks for the pics!

You are welcome, Spell! And thank you! I can't wait to get a pic of 1450 Brickell once it's all covered. It's going to look like a crystal mountain.

Hia-leah JDM · February 22nd, 2009, 10:44 PM

That building is AMAZING!

If and when they redo the Santander building, that little section of Brickell will look AMAZING!

I was thinking the same thing. They might not be able to even if they wanted to. Madoff alone swindled billions from them which they most probably won't recover.

Speaking of Madoff, I read the other day that for the last 14 years he didn't invest any of the money given to him by investors. His Ponzi scheme was purely money in and money out. When you think about it it's a brilliant concept. He's obviously a very persuasive and witty guy. I wonder if he would have ever gotten caught had the economy not faltered. ??

The Madoff swindle was drop in the bucket for Banco Santander. Although they lost about $3.1 Billion. I'm told most of it was client's money.
They are very well capitalized, so much in fact, they returned the losses to the wealthy individuals to the tune of $1.7 Billion because they wanted to maintain the banking relationship with those customers.
The Miami skyscraper project will be more demand/market driven. They probably have the cash to pull the trigger when/if it makes sense.
