Plans have been submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board for B Residences Miami, a Breitling-branded mixed-use tower at 11 SW 7th Street in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. The project is designed by Arquitectonica and developed by Empira Group alongside Partners Group, with landscape architecture by EDSA. The proposed tower would rise 834 feet to the top of the roof and is described in the application as a 76-story building with 369 residences, commercial space, and 707 onsite parking spaces.
The board is scheduled to review the proposal on November 18, 2026. YIMBY previously covered the development in June, when the announced plans called for approximately 70 stories and more than 300 condominiums.

The approximately 56,869-square-foot property sits north of Brickell City Centre and south of the Miami River. SW 7th Street forms the southern boundary, South Miami Avenue runs along the eastern frontage, and SW 1st Avenue follows the diagonal northwestern edge. The site is primarily occupied by surface parking, is zoned T6-48B-O and lies within a designated transit-oriented development area near the Brickell City Centre Metromover station.

The tower is articulated as four adjoining vertical volumes separated by recessed strips of glazing. Horizontal balcony bands wrap around rounded corners, with glass railings and copper-toned edges and undersides. Tall copper-colored frames outline each volume, curving inward at their upper and lower ends. The proposed material palette includes blue-tinted glass, aluminum mullions, gray stucco, and brushed copper-finish aluminum.

The four volumes terminate at different heights, forming stepped rooftop terraces with pools, planting, and glass perimeter screens. A copper-colored mechanical enclosure rises above the uppermost residential floors. Additional planted terraces at the tower’s lower levels connect with the podium’s multilevel amenity deck.

The podium extends westward with rounded corners and a screen of closely spaced vertical metal fins backed by mesh, with perforated metal panels also identified in the material board. Copper-colored horizontal bands wrap around the façades and curve downward at staggered points near the tower. Street-level renderings show tall storefront glazing, recessed entrances, green walls, and a projecting canopy edged with planting. Nighttime views depict lighting along the podium bands and portions of the tower framing.

The ground-floor plan shows three retail spaces totaling 14,758 square feet, arranged across the western portion of the podium and along SW 7th Street, including the corner at South Miami Avenue. Residential lobby areas and a separate club lobby occupy the eastern portion of the building. A central driveway surrounds a drop-off island, with loading bays and service rooms positioned along the northern portion of the site.

There would be approximately 1,164,445 square feet of floor area counted toward the project’s floor lot ratio, with commercial uses proposed at ground level and on upper floors. The developer proposes to obtain the required bonus floor area through payments into the Miami 21 Public Benefits Trust Fund and purchases of transferable development rights from a historic property before issuance of a building permit.

One waiver is requested to permit second-story parking within the zoning code’s Second Layer along the principal frontages, screened with an art and glass treatment. The applicant cites the parcel’s irregular configuration and three principal frontages as factors affecting garage circulation, ramping, and podium design. According to the applicant, the waiver would retain active ground-floor uses and would not alter the project’s height or overall intensity.
The diagrams below label floors through Level 71, followed by a rooftop terrace and an upper mechanical enclosure. The terrace sits one level above Level 71 but is not explicitly numbered. Ground-floor and club mezzanines are shown separately. The drawings do not clarify how these spaces factor into the 76-story count stated in the application.

A watch brand putting its name on a condo tower is about as Miami as it gets. Curious whether the review board has any questions about it getting taller since the first plans.
