couldnt agree more and did this building really get approved with the mechanical parking system? that would be a great start for a desperately needed system here those parking pedestals are getting out of control.

What in the hell is a mechanical parking system?!

[DGM]

Could it be one of those car elivator things?

[archifreese]

it is the stacking thing not the elevator one like at New World Towers at flagler/biscayne, but the parking lifts where u park the 2nd car above the 1st one. theres a diagram on one of the pages.

ALSO NEWS FLASH ICON BRICKELL 2ND CRANE BASE IN PLACE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND WEST TOWERS !!!!!!!

[Toucano]

I believe its an automated parking system, where tou place your car on an elevator type thing, it gives you a ticket and it mechanically moves to park your car in a "compartment" ...

Best example is in munich, there was a great pic on SSP, i`ll see if i can dig it up...

[archifreese]

okay its the stacking one like i thought (according to these pics) so you have to go up ramps and then theres double height parking per floor. this means valet most likely especially with this handicapped scheme.

Flatiron goes for final approval of the new version on June 22nd. 600 Brickell will be going for approval at the same meeting. As will the new 500 Brickell Station tower.

Brickell mixed-use project goes to city this week

By Deserae del Campo
A Brickell mixed-use project of nearly 1 million square feet of office space and hundreds of hotel rooms and residential units is to go before the Miami City Commission this week for building permit approval.
The two-tower 600 Brickell and its approximately 952,000 square feet of office space can't come soon enough to the area's space-strapped leasing market, said Bert Checa, a Holly Real Estate broker. "The vacancy rate would go from 8% to 17% if the building was going up now.
"The project would bring a very healthy amount to the market, which is starving right but it's not coming soon enough," Mr. Checa said. "This is a project that the market desperately needs."
600 Brickell is among several projects in the works that could ease pressure on the leasing market. City records show downtown Miami is expected to see more than 5 million square feet of office space from projects in the pipeline.
The shorter tower of 600 Brickell, standing 485 feet, is to be completed ahead of the taller one, by the end of 2010. It's to include 490,126 square feet of office space and 14,030 square feet of retail space.
Work on the second tower is to begin in 2011. The 903-foot structure is to include 134 residential units, 360 hotel rooms, 463,483 square feet of office space and 3,917 square feet of retail space.
Developer 600 Brickell LLC is to go before the commission today (6/22) for a major use special permit. The city's zoning board approved the project in March.
"We received approval from the Urban Development Review Board and the zoning board," said attorney for the developers Gil Pastoriza of Weiss Serota Helfman Pastoriza Cole & Boniske during a planning and zoning meeting this month. "They were all ecstatic about the project.
"We have a truly unique building here, the first of its kind on Brickell Avenue that has a significant amount of public space with three quarters of an acre of public plaza."
Ron Henderer, architect with RTKL Architecture, said "600 Brickell draws a parallel with Rockefeller Center. This project will bring significant value to the city of Miami with a vital urban space that will be a magnet for people."
The project has also received city commission approval for the land and zoning use changes. The final reading for the land-use change is also scheduled today. A six-story building at the site is to be razed to make way for the project.

2011 = never

I agree... i don't think you can have even a reasonable chance of coming up w/ a timing estimate until you have started going vertical in earnest. Any projection before that is really pure conjecture. There are so many things that can delay a project that 5 years out is impossible to plan.

Big projects like 900 Biscayne and Everglades that are really just getting started now are going to have to go through multilple hurricane seasons. A hurricane like wilma can cause 3 to 6 months of real delays in a project.
