Brickell Office Tower Approved By FAA At 764 Feet

·22 Comments

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a letter stating that an office tower planned on Brickell Avenue does not represent a hazard to air navigation.

The tower is known as 848 Brickell.

The approval letter was issued on September 5 to developer Key International. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill is listed as a representative.

The approved height is 764 feet above ground, or 775 feet above sea level.

Plans for the new 51-story tower were originally submitted to Miami-Dade County for review in October 2023.

According to a county utilities agreement, the new tower will include:

  • 750,901 square feet of office
  • 6,553 square feet of retail

will never understand how new construction buildings have such little amount of retail space. With the amount of new condos and apartments going in plus new offices there will be a need to have more retail options

Retail only works on the ground floor. Too many of these architects devote so much of that leaseable space to bldg lobbies/vehicular access hence the lack of retail

The ground floor is eaten up by vehicle access, vehicle dropoff, parking, loading, etc etc

End the addiction to automobiles in this city and you will have your lively retail spaces

Perhaps, you should put together a team and try to build some retail space in Brickell, then you will understand.
If you decide not to, just get used to “never understanding”.

Retail is dead outside of grocery and restaurant space–and restaurant space has been getting shaky lately.

Beautiful design but I have a genuine question if a large office building like this gets built, will it make it less likely that the One Bayfront Project, on a lot that desperately needs to be developed in Downtown, does not?

With the Related Building, the new Santander building, the new Citadel building and this building – is there enough demand for all this office space? Perhaps there is, but curious. Also, traffic is going to be hideous in Brickell. How are all these people going to get from all over Miami to come to Brickell to go to the office? Is anyone trying to figure this out? I assume not.

Question 1. – Yes, there is demand for Class A office space.
Question 2. – People with high paying jobs will find a way to overcome “hideous” traffic.
Question 3. – Yes, it has already been figured out. Your question is a question that has been asked over and over and over again for at least 30 years.

Sas, tone it down a notch if possible. Jeeez. Scott, There is only enough demand as the corporate entities moving down here to escape NY. If that slows down then the office space will just sit vacant and the accountants will do their magic with depreciation and write-offs. They will never drop the prices meaningfully with that kind of key real estate.

Apart from relocation from elsewhere in South Florida and LATAM operations, I have yet to see any corporate relocations.

Citadel should get a better publicist.

In their relocation from Chicago to Miami, Citadel has leased eight floors in Brickell, which is about 95,000 square feet to occupy while their waterfront Headquarters is being built.

They have also spent $363 million for the site at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive where they are developing a one Billion dollar headquarters building in phase one.

They paid $286.5 million for the 28-story office building at 1221 Brickell Avenue, and their leader and executive team has probably spent a Billion on residential real estate in Miami as part of their relocation.

🙂 Okay, I’ll stop using the word, “hideous”.

“There is only enough demand as the corporate entities…escaping New York”.

There are many other companies, growing and/or escaping from places other than New York.
Thoma Bravo is expanding from Chicago to Brickell, 36,500 sq ft
Kirkland& Ellis is relocating many from Chicago, 115,000 sq ft
AerCap is an Irish aviation company that is new to market (not NY) making Brickell their US Headquarters.
etc. etc. etc.

There is pent up demand for new Class A office space.
830 Brickell is 100% leased and the building won’t open to 2025. The last leases were inked at $185NNN.

I believe that the only Class A office buildings to open in Brickell in the last decade are the two office buildings in Brickell Citicenter. That was 2016, and it was a bit over 250,000 of sq ft.

in the CBD/Park West, Miami Central are the only 2 new Class A office buildings built in the last decade, and combined they are less than 350,000.
