Gazit Horizons Reveals Brickell Gateway

Israeli-developer, Gazit Horizons, is on track to bring a 48 story tower to Miami’s Brickell. Located at 90 SW 8th Street next to Brickell City Centre, will be the Brickell Gateway Tower. The 377,000 square foot project will bring residential units, office spaces, a hotel concept, and retail to the neighborhood.

Gazit Horizons acquired the land in July 2017 for $29.5 million and March 1, 2021, was the date that the developers submitted plans for demolition. The tower is proposed to include 500 condo units.

The demolition approval is still pending. According to the plans, the site only permits plans for a building up to 48-stories and they are taking full advantage.

The demolition costs for the property would total $139,698 with an estimated cost for completion at $150 million. BG Group is listed as the demolition contractor for the project. Once approved, the developers are aiming for a completion date in quarter 2 of 2023.

The developers met with the City of Miami on February 15, 2022, for review. The current status of the project is still in redesign.

You may be familiar with the current site of the proposed tower. It is a black building with magnificent artwork portraying soccer-based graffiti. The soccer club, Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami, that houses the building has been renting the space since 2018. David Beckham is the Miami MLS Owner and President of Football Operations.

1428 Brickell Tower New Construction

1,049 Foot Supertall Tower Receives FAA Approval for Brickell Neighborhood

1428 Brickell Tower New Construction

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.
