Summit Brickell Proposed in Brickell Miami
In the Brickell district of Miami, Lore Development Group has submitted designs for, Summit Brickell, a mixed-use development at 1015 Southwest 1st Avenue.
The 69-story tower would be built on a 22,712-square-foot plot of land that is near the Brickell Metromover Station, on the southeast corner of SW 1st Avenue and SW 10th Street. The almost 843-foot-tall building, designed by Corwil Architects, would have an interior area of 875,525 square feet, including 500 residential units, 2,174 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and an integrated 11-story garage with 480 parking spaces.
Renderings of a modern, elegant tower with rounded corners and dynamic moving volumes have just been unveiled. This tower is intended to easily blend into the surrounding urban landscape. The tower’s use of continuous balconies, which gracefully round the building and provide future occupants with spectacular panoramic metropolitan views, is a standout feature. With an approximate height of 843 feet, the tower dominates the Brickell skyline and dwarfs nearby buildings in size. The height between the mechanical level and elevator bulkhead and the rooftop is around 825 feet.
The property has a gross area of 1.011 acres, or 44,020 square feet, and a net area of 0.520 acres, or 22,712 square feet, according to the registration paperwork. The property was purchased for $35 million by Lore Development Group, a partnership between Leste Group and the Brazilian real estate company Opportunity Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário. It consists of several properties, including 74, 78, 84, and 88 SW 10th Streets, 1013, 1015, and 1021 SW 1st Avenues.
The property is expected to offer a range of unit sizes, from 496 to 1,436 square feet, including studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floorplans. It is anticipated that the flats will be offered for rent given their size. Residents will have access to additional recreational areas thanks to the facilities, which will be housed on the 13th and 69th floors and include a rooftop pool deck.
Due to the fact that this is the pre-application stage, detailed information regarding the material board is not available. However, it may be assumed from the elevation diagrams that the balconies will include wrap-around glass railings, acting as both decorative and utilitarian elements that emphasize the towers’ elevations. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels with aluminum frames are anticipated for the windows, and gray stucco is probably what will be used to complete the external walls. A metal mesh screen is planned to cover the garage, adding a distinctive visual aspect. Additionally, it is planned to add glass panels to the towers’ crowns to further improve the development’s aesthetic appeal.
According to reports, construction on the project will begin in June 2024 and finish in the summer of 2027.
111 Wynwood Mixed-Use Project Plans Have Been Filed
The 111 Wynwood mixed-use project’s plans have recently been submitted with plans to add 12,106 square feet of commercial space to the current structure. 111 Wynwood will be located on First Avenue in Wynwood, which was originally designated as a pedestrian walkway.
The mixed-use building will be used for multiple restaurants/bars, meetings, and office spaces.
The building exterior, created by Touzet Studio, consists of a low level that swoops widely as it turns from 25th Street to First Avenue. A designated woonerf, First Avenue, is where the lower level interacts with the taller level, which is the main façade. The Mezzanine and Second Floor venues are accessed primarily by a wide staircase off of First Avenue as part of the building layout that accommodates pedestrians. First Avenue also leads to the recessed elevator’s lobby.
Large vitrines that protrude beyond the building’s surface and the deep recess that houses the stairway and benches are used to break up the taller volume’s architectural concrete surface. The lobby’s glass wall and a two-story, fissured, cast-concrete wall that has pockets of plant growing in it line one side of the stairway. From linear beams that go from the fissured wall to the multi-story lobby, flowering vines cascade down over the staircase.
The length of the ground level of the lower volume consists of a vitrine punctuated by glass entry doors set back into the volume. The double-height volume that fronts the corner and a portion of the 26th Street facade is illuminated by a long horizontal glass band. At the western end of the volume, the glass gives way to an open-air terrace at the Mezzanine level. The roof terrace above the lower volume serves as a dining terrace for the Second Floor venue. Horizontal planes, with rendered soffits, hover over portions of the roof terrace and over the arrival court at the top of the staircase.
The mural, which was created by Carlos Prio-Touzet and Touzet Studio, is a stylized representation of a coral rock surface that would appear on an architectural drawing. Here, a trompe l’oeil effect is subverted by the graphic’s sarcastic transformation into the cladding itself. Astro created the spiraling murals on the two bigger faces.
On July 18, there will be a hearing before the Wynwood Design Review Committee. The application was submitted by BH Wynwood Hotel LLC.
