Summit Brickell Development Secures FAA Approval, Moves Forward with Updated Plans
The highly anticipated mixed-use development, Summit Brickell is set to redefine the skyline of Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. Located at 1015 Southwest 1st Avenue, this ambitious project recently achieved a significant milestone by securing approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). With this approval, the development is poised to rise 765 feet above ground, reaching a total height of 769 feet above sea level at its highest point. Designed by Corwil Architects and developed by Lore Development Group—a joint venture between Brazilian billionaire Daniel Dantas’ Opportunity investment firm and Leste Group—Summit Brickell promises to bring a dynamic blend of residential and commercial spaces to the heart of Miami.
Filed on April 5 and swiftly approved on May 21, Summit Brickell is planned as a 60-story structure with a total floor area ratio (FAR) of 717,740 square feet. The updated plans for the tower to include:
500 residential units
1,583 square feet of commercial space
500 parking spaces
Documents recently filed with Miami-Dade County in April provided updated renderings and plans for Summit Brickell. One of the notable changes is the reduction of the proposed structure from 69 to 60 stories. The updated plans also indicate the elevator bulkhead will now rise to 750 feet, significantly lower than the initially planned 843 feet, falling well within the heights approved by the FAA.
Summit Brickell is currently under review by Miami-Dade County planners as part of its Rapid Transit zoning plan, allowing it to bypass city review. However, a construction permit for the project has not yet been filed with the county.
The project’s material board highlights the variety of architectural features and elements that contribute to the overall design and aesthetic of the structure. Key features include:
Fine sand stucco/textured finish used throughout the elevations
Horizontal concrete pours/sculpted to exterior walls
Impact-resistant guardrail systems
Sliding glass doors with impact-resistant aluminum frame and glass
Fixed-lite, clear safety glass and impact-resistant guardrail system on balcony rails
Additionally, the building will feature:
Impact-resistant glass doors
Storm-resistant mesh screens
Parking garage breezeway
Perforated aluminum garage system panels
Decorative metal claddings
Aluminum sunshade systems
Summit Brickell will offer various unit types from the 14th through the 58th floor, including studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 500 to 1,418 square feet. The penthouse units on the 59th floor will range from 1,288 to 2,618 square feet. Residents will enjoy amenities on both the 13th floor and the 60th-floor rooftop. The parking garage is designed to occupy floors 2 through 12, ensuring ample space for residents and visitors.
While it remains unclear when the developer plans to break ground on the project, it is still navigating through the approval process, and no permits have been submitted as of May. Initially, groundbreaking for the project was tentatively scheduled for June 2024, with completion expected by summer 2027. However, given the current status, a groundbreaking towards the end of the year seems more likely, with completion potentially extending into late 2027.

Wynwood Welcomes Major Retail Expansion with Prominent Developers
In a significant move for the Wynwood Art District’s commercial landscape, a trio of influential development firms—Lion Development Group led by Michael Simkins, LNDMRK Development led by Alex Karakhanian, and Tricera Capital led by Ben Mandell—has jointly acquired 32,000 square feet of prime ground-floor retail space at the Society Wynwood complex. The deal, valued at $22.5 million, marks a pivotal development in one of Miami’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
Prior to the closing, Tricera and LNDMRK had already signed four major leases, securing tenants for approximately 50% of the available space. This proactive leasing strategy brought in a diverse mix of businesses, including Starbucks, Nacho Daddy, Chama De Fogo Brazilian Steakhouse, and I Scream Gelato. These brands are not just filling space; they are set to enhance the local flavor and economic vitality of Wynwood.
The property, developed by Property Markets Group (PMG) and Greybrook, is situated at 2431 NW Second Ave., right in the heart of the Wynwood Art District. This location is pivotal, standing directly across from the iconic Wynwood Walls. “Wynwood’s growth over the last decade has been tremendous, and our team is excited to continue to play a role in elevating the community,” said Ben Mandell, CEO of Tricera Capital.
Alex Karakhanian of LNDMRK Development also shared his enthusiasm for the project: “We are excited to partner with Tricera and Lion on this transformative acquisition. The retail is situated in the core of the district, and continues to attract premium tenants that want to be part of this vibrant community.”
The retail portion of Society Wynwood, along with its nearly 300 modern residential units and private parking garage, positions the building as a premier destination within the district. This integration of living, leisure, and work space reflects the ongoing transformation of Wynwood into a dynamic urban neighborhood where culture and commerce meet.
With successful leasing already underway and more announcements expected soon, the new ownership is poised to continue its momentum. The addition of high-profile tenants like Starbucks, which will occupy approximately 2,600 square feet, and the unique dining experiences offered by Nacho Daddy, Chama De Fogo, and I Scream Gelato, Society Wynwood is set to become a key player in the area’s ongoing development.
