Conceptual plans for Citadel’s new supertall tower in Brickell have been revealed, marking a significant addition to Miami’s ever-evolving skyline. The tower, set to rise 1,032 feet above sea level at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive, is the first phase of a multi-phase development that aims to reshape the landscape of Miami’s bustling financial district.
The property is approximately 4.17 acres (181,645 square feet) in size. The portion of the property comprised of the 1201 Brickell Bay Drive parcel is located across the Brickell Bay Drive right-of-way from the remainder of the property, which comprises 1221 Brickell Avenue and 1250-1260 Brickell Bay Drive. The 1201 and 1250-1260 Brickell Bay Drive parcels are currently vacant, while the 1221 Brickell Avenue parcel is presently improved with an office building constructed in the 1980s.

It looks like a 21st Century citadel. Simple, but refined. Meets the ground elegantly (with no visible parking podiums, yea!). It’s a modern version of a classic column with a defined bottom, middle and top. Love the crown. If executed well, it will be a great addition to the Miami skyline
This building is going to be an eyesore that dominates the skyline. Tall is great but not if it is a blight to the surrounding area.
That top looks like a huge rectangular mushroom….a bit weird. Just doesn’t look right, should be redesigned.
Please forward me unbranded Dropbox and sales team contact to promote among all my clients.
Thank you

Now that’s a design that will define Miami’s skyline going forward. Love it.
