Florida East Coast Realty (FECR), the developer behind Miami’s current tallest skyscraper, the 85-story Panorama Tower, has sold the last remaining prime waterfront development site in Brickell for a record breaking $363 million to 1201 Brickell Bay LLC, managed by Randall Davis in Chicago. FECR, led by real estate visionary Tibor Hollo and his family, held ownership of the property since around October 2000, which according to city records was originally purchased for $15.5 million. The property is addressed as 1201 Brickell Bay Drive, a 2.5-acre site bound by Southeast 12th Street on the north and Brickell Bay Drive on the west intersecting Southeast 12th Terrace. In 2016, FECR along with Corigin Real Estate Group and McCourt Global properties, announced plans for two 1,049-foot supertall mixed-use towers with 660 units designed by Foster + Partners dubbed ‘The Tower by Foster + Partners’, but those plans were never realized.
Safra National Bank is moving forward with their plans to develop 3050 Aventura, a 12-story office building slated for 3050 Northeast 199th Street in Aventura, Florida. The 200-foot-tall structure is designed by British architectural and engineering firm Foster + Partners with ODP Architecture & Design as the architect of record. The City of Aventura granted the bank approvals for the project, allowing for the redevelopment of the site that is currently improved with a 2-story building occupied by Safra. Plans for the new building call for the development of 113,650 square feet of office space along with two basement levels for parking.
