Breaking Ground at The Residences at 1428 Brickell- Miami’s New Solar-Powered 70-Story Tower
The Residences at 1428 Brickell officially breaks ground. This 70-story tower, designed to generate its own solar power, is touted as the first of its kind in the world, cementing Miami’s place as a forward-thinking city embracing green building practices.
At the core of the tower’s design is a pioneering 20,000-square-foot “Solar Backbone” that sets it apart. This backbone integrates photovoltaic panels directly into the building’s glass façade, harnessing renewable energy to meet a portion of the building’s electricity needs. This innovative system is projected to produce 175 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity annually, cutting down around 4,700 tons of CO₂ emissions and saving the equivalent of 3,000 barrels of oil each year.
The tower, upon completion, will become one of the tallest in Miami, standing at an impressive 861 feet. With construction cranes exceeding 1,000 feet, this architectural marvel will soon dominate the Brickell skyline, embodying both height and purpose-driven design.
The residential offering is as exclusive as the structure itself, featuring 195 luxury units that promise breathtaking views and top-tier finishes. Residents will enjoy 80,000 square feet of amenities, all carefully crafted to deliver a high-end lifestyle in a sustainable environment. Pricing for these coveted residences starts at $3 million, with upper-range options reaching $7 million. The tower’s collection of penthouses, promising the pinnacle of opulence, are priced between $8 million and $60 million.
The team behind this project reads like a who’s who in luxury development. Ytech leads the charge as the developer, bringing in renowned firms ACPV Architects and Arquitectonica to execute the architectural vision. General contracting duties are in the capable hands of John Moriarty & Associates, a firm known for its commitment to quality and innovation in high-rise construction.
This tower is more than a striking addition to Brickell’s skyline; it’s a statement on the future of sustainable architecture. With its trailblazing solar capabilities, this development isn’t just setting a new standard in Miami but is marking a milestone on a global scale.

Exciting news for Miami’s real estate landscape! The City of Miami’s Building Department has recently issued a site work permit for the highly anticipated 1428 Brickell development.

Earlier this year, the demolition of an older building on the property was successfully completed, clearing the way for new development. The recently issued site work permit, which became active on October 3rd, marks the next crucial step in preparing the site for construction. The permit outlines an estimated $1,992,000 worth of site work, with John Moriarty as the contractor leading the charge.
While the site work permit is a significant milestone, there’s more to come for 1428 Brickell. A separate master construction permit for the new tower is currently in the process, which will pave the way for the full-scale building of this impressive structure.
The development is being spearheaded by Ytech, a prominent name in the industry known for its commitment to creating luxury spaces that push the boundaries of design and innovation.
