There are new details on plans to build a near supertall office tower at Brickell City Centre.
Previously filed plans showed the tower would reach a height of 68 stories, or 977 feet, putting it just below supertall height.
Developers Swire Properties and Related Companies are partnering on the development, which will have around 1.5 million leasable square feet of office.
Last week, Swire Properties USA President Henry Bott told the SFBJ that the One Brickell City Centre was taking longer than expected, but that negotiations with potential anchor tenants are now ongoing.
The developers are moving forward with clearing the site. Demolition of a smaller office tower on the site has been completed, and demolition of a second small office building will begin next year, he said.
A photo taken last week by Phillip Pessar shows that some removal work at the second office building has begun.
The total demolition permit for that building, located at at 799 Brickell Plaza, was first applied for in April 2023, and entered its eleventh review cycle on November 8.
It was sent back by city staff with two additional comments remaining to be addressed on November 20.
