40-Story ‘Santander Tower’ Planned For 1401 Brickell Avenue In Miami’s Financial District
On February 21, Miami’s Urban Development Review Board is scheduled to review the filed plans for Santander Tower, a visionary project at 1401 Brickell Avenue in the Brickell financial district. This 40-story office building, targeting LEED Platinum certification, is designed to redefine Miami’s skyline and urban experience. The development, designed by Handel Architects from New York with structural engineering by DeSimone Consulting Engineers and interior design by Bernardi + Peschard Arquitectos, aims to introduce 612,918 square feet of premium Class A office space. Developed by Services and Promotions LLC, an affiliate of Santander Bank, with project management and advisement by the Rilea Group, the tower aspires to a commanding presence at 765 feet above ground and 778 feet above sea level. Its redevelopment plan includes office spaces and extensive retail and food/beverage activation areas across the ground and upper podium levels, emphasizing ground-level engagement and vibrant streetscapes. Cosentini Associates is the MEPFP engineer, Langan is the civil and geotechnical engineer, Rios is the landscape architect with LandDesign as the landscape architect of record, and Socotec is the building envelope consultant.
