Ytech has submitted plans for Seven Broadway, a 54-story luxury residential tower designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board. The proposed development will be situated on a 16,647-square-foot site located at 41 and 75 SW 15th Road in the Brickell neighborhood. The lot has frontages along SW 15th Road (Broadway) and SW 14th Terrace, and a secondary frontage along SW 1st Avenue.
A two-story office building and an eight-unit multifamily structure currently occupy the site. It sits directly north of Simpson Park and within walking distance of the Financial District Metrorail Station, placing it in one of Miami’s most connected and rapidly developing urban neighborhoods.

The proposed development will total approximately 400,892 square feet and include 113 residential units, 193 parking spaces, 113 bicycle spaces, and a series of luxury amenities. Parking will be fully valet-operated. The building program includes a ground floor with lobby, back-of-house, and mechanical space; levels 2 through 7 are dedicated to residential parking, each spanning just over 12,000 square feet. Residential units occupy levels 9 through 50, with typical floor plates measuring approximately 7,372 square feet. Amenity spaces are located on levels 8, 49, and 50, while mechanical equipment is distributed across levels 51 through 54. Level 50 will reach a height of approximately 594 feet, and the top of the tower will rise to nearly 683 feet.
Seven Broadway will offer residences ranging from 1,380 to 5,932 square feet, with layouts spanning one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations. The top floors, levels 46 through 48, will be reserved for three full-floor penthouses.

The design team has emphasized a sculptural massing and fluid envelope that responds to the contrast between the dense city grid and the natural edges of Simpson Park and Biscayne Bay. The façade features undulating horizontal bands, bronze-toned cladding, and floor-to-ceiling glazing, with the architectural expression extending through the parking podium to preserve continuity and aesthetic quality.

All units will have southern exposure with expansive views and dedicated terraces. Each elevator opens directly into a private foyer, and the layout is designed to conceal service functions from resident view. The ground level incorporates glass storefronts and lush landscaping. A sinuous canopy signals the residential entry along SW 15th Road, and the sidewalk zone will be reconfigured to eliminate stairs in the first layer and introduce a shaded, pedestrian-friendly streetscape.

The building features three primary amenity levels: a wellness center located atop the parking podium, a resident lounge situated just above the highest occupied floor, and a rooftop terrace and pool offering direct views over Simpson Park.

The developer plans to satisfy the bonus Floor Lot Ratio through the public benefits program, which includes the transfer of development rights and contributions to the public benefits trust fund. However, alternative methods may be selected at the time of permit issuance.

Ytech is requesting ten waivers as part of the application. These include a reduction of frontage setbacks above the eighth floor due to the site’s narrow configuration (less than 100 feet), reduced side setbacks, and allowances for parking encroachments into the second layer on both primary and secondary frontages. Art and glass treatments will be applied to all affected garage frontages. Additional waivers include reducing the required percentage of frontage at the setback line from 70 to 63 percent to accommodate vehicular access, modest reductions in the depths of the first and second layers to accommodate a functional drop-off zone, and a minor 10 percent reduction in parking stall depth to allow for proper circulation. One final waiver permits vehicular entries to be spaced closer than 60 feet due to site constraints.

According to the letter of intent, the requested waivers promote the goals of the Miami 21 zoning code, enhance building sustainability, and are needed due to the practical difficulty of developing on a uniquely shaped lot. The proposal also seeks to enrich the pedestrian experience with robust landscaping, native trees, and an activated public realm.
The application for Seven Broadway will be reviewed at the July 16 UDRB hearing.

One of the better looking, more well thought out condos proposed for Brickell. Hope this one gets built in lieu of the cheaper, cookie cutter proposals.
You beat me to it. Same thought. Elegant and far less utilitarian looking than some of the proposed new towers.
This looks like it could be one of the best looking buildings in Miami.
A smashing, elegant solution to a very difficult site!
Bravo for a most respectful project in our very fine neighborhood!
I look forward to enjoying this very fine edifice.
