1,049 Foot Supertall Tower Receives FAA Approval for Brickell Neighborhood
Brickell may be getting a new supertall tower after receiving approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. Now the plans will move on to the City of Miami to discuss design, permits, and construction.
The tower located at 1428 Brickell would rise 1,049 feet tall on 1.15 acres. The property is currently owned by Miami-based real estate developer Ytech.
Ytech has the rights to build an 825,000 square foot structure due to the air rights. Ytech’s website states, “In a sea of high-rises, 1428 marks a new chapter for luxury development and a turning point for the Brickell area.”
The FAA application was originally submitted on July 30, 2021 and was just granted approval on January 14, 2022. The project is currently being called 1428. Its T6-48A-O zoning means the property could house a tower that’s at least 48 stories tall.
The only information that has been released about the property is that there will be hotel-like services that owners can participate in.
Ytech also owns property nearby where an 80 story tower is possible. This site could also be a possibility for an additional supertall tower as well.
The developer purchased the site in January 2017 for $26.5 million from The Taplin Company LTD after a threat of foreclosure. Currently, there is a 9 story Bank United office building that was originally built in 1971 with 100,762 square feet. Taplin first purchased the property in 1994 for $4.4 million.

The sellers for the mansion are listed under a trust incorporated in the Bahamas with the President of the trust as Miami Beach attorney Monica Tirado. The buyers are listed as Paul Morelli who is the trustee of the Brickell Holdings Trust in care of Cenna Lanier who resides in Chicago.
