The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the height of 848 Brickell, a 51-story Class-A office and retail development in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. Planned by Key International in collaboration with Sterling Bay, the project has been given the green light to rise 764 feet above ground, or 775 feet above mean sea level. This approval, issued on September 5, 2024, marks a significant milestone for the development designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM).

848 Brickell is set to become a significant addition to Miami’s Financial District. Emphasizing modern work environments, the tower will offer an array of hospitality-inspired amenities, such as tech-enabled conference rooms, a luxury fitness center, expansive outdoor terraces, padel tennis courts, and private open-air lounges. On-site parking for over 1,000 vehicles is also included, catering to the needs of the building’s tenants.

The project is strategically located at 848 Brickell Avenue, offering future tenants prime views of the ocean and the vibrant Brickell Avenue corridor. Its proximity to top dining, retail, and entertainment venues further solidifies its position as a premier destination for businesses and professionals in Miami.

Key International, under the leadership of Diego and Inigo Ardid, selected Sterling Bay for its proven expertise in developing top-tier office spaces, with projects such as the creative offices for Google and McDonald’s. Together, the developers aim to deliver a cutting-edge workspace that meets the evolving demands of businesses in South Florida.

The original plans for the tower were submitted for Miami-Dade County review in October 2023. According to county filings, the development includes 750,901 square feet of office space and 6,553 square feet of retail. With the FAA’s approval, the project is moving forward, signaling a significant step in the continued transformation of downtown Miami’s skyline and business landscape.

I think that Miami has a real estate bust coming. Tall buildings are going up all over. As for this one, meh! Kinda boring and uninspired design.
FAA does NOT approve construction. They evaluate the affect any potential construction might have on air traffic they neither approve or disapprove any construction. They do pass the evaluation on and insurance companies use the FAA evaluation for liability purposes.
The charm that was Brickell is gone. Welcome to Park Ave.
More importantly, buildings this tall have a negative effect on the weather.
