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.
Millennium Developments Signs Covenant for New 70-Story Brickell Tower-Calle 8
Millennium Developments is moving forward with plans for an impressive new 70-story tower in Brickell, Calle 8. In a significant step toward realizing this ambitious project, the developer has signed a covenant with Miami-Dade County. The agreement, officially recorded on November 4th, states that the tower will connect to the county’s water and sewer systems, which is required as a condition of the building permit.
The proposed tower is set to become one of Brickell’s tallest buildings, rising to 750 feet. The design envisions 464 residential units, offering a mix of luxury residences with stunning views of Miami’s skyline. Additionally, the project includes 75,736 square feet dedicated to either performing arts spaces or retail, bringing a blend of culture, commerce, and community to the heart of Brickell. The building will also provide ample parking, with 653 planned spaces, along with various amenities to enhance the lifestyle of future residents.
In August, Millennium Developments submitted an updated version of the proposal to Miami-Dade County as part of the ongoing zoning approval process. This proposal includes preliminary plans and renderings, shared for reference in the zoning phase, with a formal submission to follow as part of the site plan review.
BMA Architects is the architectural team behind the vision for this 70-story tower, adding their expertise to shape what is anticipated to be an iconic addition to the Miami skyline.
Millennium Developments’ latest project reflects Brickell’s growth as a hub for luxury living, arts, and entertainment. As zoning approval progresses, more details on the tower’s features and design will be revealed, shaping an exciting future for this high-rise in Brickell.

New 600-Unit Apartment Development Planned at Pullman Miami Airport Hotel Site
London + Regional Properties, operating through its subsidiary LR Miami Airport Hotel, LLC, recently submitted an Administrative Site Plan Review (ASPR) application to Miami-Dade County on October 24th, revealing plans for a new residential project at the Pullman Miami Airport Hotel site at 5800 Blue Lagoon Drive. This ambitious proposal includes two eight-story mixed-use buildings on the hotel’s current parking lot, bringing 600 new residential units to the area. The developer initially purchased this 10-acre property, which houses a 15-story hotel with 281 rooms, back in 2019.
The development envisions two distinct buildings, each housing approximately 300 units with sizes varying from 570 to 1,718 square feet, spanning studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts. Key features include three parking structures totaling 1,344 spaces, with 1,020 spaces allocated for the apartments and 324 reserved for hotel guests. Additionally, the parking facility closest to the hotel will incorporate 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Residents will also have access to two pool and clubhouse areas, measuring 6,200 and 4,900 square feet, respectively.
The east building will contain 319 units across its eight floors, with:
32 studio units averaging 578 sq. ft.
191 one-bedroom units averaging 803 sq. ft.
90 two-bedroom units averaging 1,093 sq. ft.
6 three-bedroom units averaging 1,380 sq. ft.
The total leasable area for this building is projected at 278,600 square feet. The parking plan includes 452 spaces, divided into ADA, van, and standard spots, with a consistent distribution of 30 to 42 units per floor featuring a variety of floor plans.
The west building will offer 281 units across eight floors, comprising:
32 studio units averaging 561 sq. ft.
151 one-bedroom units averaging 768 sq. ft.
98 two-bedroom units averaging 1,108 sq. ft.
The total leasable space here will cover 242,492 square feet, and parking will be available in the form of 420 spaces, including 8 ADA-accessible spaces, with no compact or tandem options.
An essential component of the ASPR application includes a request to adjust the site’s inclusion in the Blue Lagoon Development of Regional Impact (DRI) to align with the project’s goals. The developer is pursuing variances to amend zoning conditions, particularly regarding parking and setback regulations, to better accommodate the new residential structures. Designed as a transit-oriented development under the Miami-Dade County SMART Corridor Subzone guidelines, this project is strategically located within a quarter-mile of the East-West Corridor of the SMART Program.
London + Regional Properties has partnered with an experienced development team to execute this project:
Architect: Bizi Arq, based in Palmetto Bay
Civil Engineer: Hadonne
Landscape Architect: Kimley-Horn
Traffic Consultant: Traf Tech Engineering, Inc.
The project application further requests an exception to continue hotel operations during construction, emphasizing a smooth transition to accommodate both current and new uses.
This proposal, if approved, will transform the existing Pullman Miami Airport Hotel site into a modern mixed-use destination, enhancing residential options and bringing convenient transit and lifestyle amenities to Miami’s Blue Lagoon area.

701 Brickell Office Tower Sold for Record-Breaking $443M
The prestigious 701 Brickell office tower has been sold for a staggering $443 million, setting a new record as the highest price ever paid for an office building in the Brickell area. This sale also represents the second-largest office building transaction in Florida’s history, trailing only the $540 million sale of the Southeast Financial Center in 2016.
This 32-story, 685,279-square-foot building, completed in 1986, has long been a landmark in the Brickell business district. Property records show that it last sold in 2002 for $172 million, making this latest deal a remarkable return on investment. The sale comes shortly after the completion of a $30 million capital renovation plan that modernized the property, enhancing its appeal to high-profile buyers.
The buyers, Morning Calm Management and an undisclosed partner, now hold a key piece of Brickell’s real estate landscape. Interestingly, a Bloomberg report from last month had indicated that Elliott Investment Management and its partners were in contract to purchase the property, adding an intriguing layer to the final transaction.
This sale is not just a reflection of the high demand for office space in Miami’s thriving financial district but also highlights Brickell’s growing stature as one of the most desirable office markets in the U.S. With its prime location, state-of-the-art amenities, and recent renovation, 701 Brickell is poised to remain a flagship property in the area for years to come.
HueHub: A Massive Mixed-Use Project Planned for Miami-Dade County
27th Ave HollandPark EcoreResidences LLC is setting the stage for a major development in Miami-Dade County. If approved by city officials, the proposed project, named HueHub, will be one of the largest mixed-use developments in the area, with plans to include five high-rise buildings ranging from 26 to 37 stories.
Project Overview
According to details released by the South Florida Business Journal, the ambitious plans for HueHub outline:
3,233 residential units
57,260 square feet of retail space
A one-story amenity center
Two parking garages with a total of 468 spots
The venture will seamlessly integrate both residential and retail components, creating a self-sustaining community. Images shared by Miami Condo Investments provide a glimpse into this future development.
Site Acquisition and Current Status
The developer acquired the 12-acre site for $29.3 million in 2023. The area currently houses an office building, a church, and Covenant Palms, a 140-unit affordable housing development. Prior to groundbreaking, these existing structures are slated for demolition, paving the way for the new construction.
Architectural Vision by Arquitectonica
Arquitectonica, a renowned Miami-based architectural firm, is the mastermind behind HueHub’s design. The firm is also working on another 28-story tower, as recently covered by Florida YIMBY, which will feature 454 residences, with 40 percent (around 181 units) dedicated to workforce housing for individuals earning up to 120 percent of the area median income (AMI).
HueHub and Florida’s Live Local Act
HueHub is among the largest projects being developed under Florida’s Live Local Act. This legislation allows developers to increase unit density and building height while bypassing the need for extensive community feedback. Currently, the Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources is in the process of reviewing the project’s details.
If given the green light, HueHub will rise at 8400 NW 25th Avenue in the unincorporated West Little River neighborhood of Miami-Dade County. This location, combined with the project’s scale and vision, promises to significantly transform the landscape of the surrounding area.
New Residential Tower Planned for Miami’s Little River: Developers File FAA Permits for 360-Foot-Tall Building
Developers 8038 and 165 Owner LLC, an Infinity Collective and MVW Partners affiliate, have taken a significant step towards bringing a new residential tower to Miami’s Little River neighborhood. On September 17, 2024, they submitted a request to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for approval to construct a 360-foot-tall building (or 368 feet above mean sea level). This application marks a major milestone in the project’s development as it awaits FAA review.
The proposed tower will rise at 165 Northeast 80th Terrace and 8038 Northeast 2nd Avenue. The 28-story building, designed by the renowned architectural firm Arquitectonica, will house 454 residential units. Significantly, 40% of these units are earmarked as workforce housing for individuals earning up to 120% of the area’s median income. The workforce units will range from 410-square-foot studios to 667-square-foot one-bedroom apartments, providing affordable living options in the heart of Miami.
Market-rate units will offer a broader range of sizes, from 581-square-foot one-bedroom apartments to spacious 1,162-square-foot two-bedroom apartments. This diverse mix of housing options ensures that the development caters to various income levels and lifestyle needs.
In addition to residential units, the development will feature 19,900 square feet of commercial space and 697 parking spaces. Residents will have access to an eighth-floor amenity deck, complete with a pool, sports court, gym, entertainment room, dining room, and kids’ room. Ground-floor amenities will include retail spaces, coworking areas, and a dog wash station, enhancing the living experience and fostering a vibrant community atmosphere.
The development team acquired the 2.17-acre site—formerly an AT&T telecommunications facility—for $13.36 million in 2022. By utilizing Florida’s Live Local Act, the developers have been able to bypass traditional zoning restrictions, allowing for increased height and density in exchange for dedicating a portion of the units to workforce housing.
Pending the FAA’s approval, the team aims to commence construction in the second quarter of 2025, bringing much-needed residential options to the evolving Little River neighborhood.
The submission of FAA permits for this new residential tower marks an exciting development for Miami’s Little River area. As the project moves forward, it promises to deliver a blend of affordable and market-rate housing, state-of-the-art amenities, and community-focused features, contributing to the ongoing transformation of this vibrant Miami neighborhood.
