Florida East Coast Realty (FECR) is planning to invest $12 million in renovations to its office towers at 1101 Brickell Avenue in Miami’s Financial District, including a new grand lobby, flagship restaurant, extensive fiber optic connectivity, and 24-hour security. Located immediately West of Miami’s currently tallest skyscraper – the 85-story Panorama Tower also owned and built by FECR – the office towers are bound by Brickell Avenue on the West, Southeast 11th Street on the South and Southeast 10th Street on the northern end of the city block.
