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.
FAA Approves Height for New Brickell Tower, Clearing a Major Hurdle
In a significant development for the Brickell skyline, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a determination this morning stating that the proposed height for a new tower in the area does not present a hazard to air navigation. The determination letter from the FAA specifically noted that the Calle 8 building height of 737 feet above ground level, or 750 feet above mean sea level, is within acceptable limits.
This decision comes after the Miami-Dade Aviation Department initially objected to a greater proposed height. In April, the development team submitted the new height proposal to the FAA, following concerns raised by the county’s aviation officials. A March letter from these officials stated that an earlier proposal for a tower height of 870 feet above sea level would not comply with the airport height zoning regulations, prompting the revision.
The architectural design of Calle 8 is particularly striking, spanning 65 stories. As of this month, the project is progressing through the zoning approval process with Miami-Dade County planners. The plans for the tower include ground floor retail spaces, a performing arts venue or retail complex, and 464 residential units, alongside various amenity spaces.
Millennium Developments of Brickell, the developer behind this ambitious project, aims to contribute a significant new structure to the Brickell area. With FAA approval secured, the development is poised to proceed further, bringing this vision closer to reality.
