A significant milestone is approaching for the One Brickell City Centre site as the total demolition permit for a building on the property is back in review as of this morning. Only one final correction remains before the permit can be fully approved, signaling that the process is nearing its completion.

Even as the permit undergoes its last review, visible signs of preparation for demolition have already been observed at the site. Once the existing structure is taken down, the entire One Brickell City Centre location will be fully cleared, paving the way for future development. Notably, demolition of another office building on the same site was successfully completed last year.

Swire Properties and Related Companies had initially announced plans for a near-supertall tower at this prime location. However, in January, Swire disclosed that pre-leasing activity for office space had not met expectations. In light of this, reports have surfaced indicating that the site has been listed for sale. The potential sale of the property would allow Swire to redirect funds towards the development of two Mandarin Oriental residential towers nearby.

As the final steps in the demolition process unfold, the future of the One Brickell City Centre site remains a key point of interest in Miami’s evolving skyline. Whether through new ownership or the originally planned tower, the site’s development will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the city’s urban landscape.

Miami’s first ever supertall office tower just broke ground in Brickell.

The groundbreaking includes the demolition of a parking structure that is currently on the site. Major Suarez, representatives from Swire and Related were in attendance.

Project approval came in September 2022 after city commissioners voted unanimously on the 1,049 foot One Brickell City Centre. The 80 story tower will be crowned the largest building ever building in the city of Miami

The skyscraper will be connected to Brickell City Centre, which was built by Swire Properties and has over 500,000 SF of retail, eating, and entertainment space, and will be situated at 700 Brickell Avenue and 799 Brickell Plaza. The project will feature 1.6 million square feet of office space.

The news represents strength and expansion for the Miami office market, which continues to draw major financial and technological firms from high-tax areas like New York and California.

Swire Properties and Related are listed as the developers for this project.
