Brickell’s 645-Foot Miami River Tower Moving Closer To Completion

The 54-story Miami River apartment tower under construction in Brickell is moving closer to completion, new photos by Phillip Pessar show.

The photos show that a decorative element is now being installed on the building’s parking garage.

The building will include 632 rental apartments. Also now under construction is retail space, and a riverfront promenade open to the public.

The tower topped off at 645 feet, becoming the westernmost tower in Miami at that height.

There are multiple other phases planned at the development, which is known as The River District.

Eventually, developer Chetrit Group plans to build 4 million square feet of new development on the property. That includes about 1,600 residences, Class A office space, and 30,000 square feet of retail.

Looks very glassy in skyline, as appropriately balanced for residential building, not offices.

At least half the podium is lined with units. I’ve seen pictures of the inside of the garage. They have car lifts only accessible to Valet so basically they pack 2x the amount of cars in the same space

It’s one of the nicest buildings I have seen built in Miami. This building stands to be more spectacular than anticipated, and it’s wonderful to see a destination taking shape in Brickell along the river walk. I think it will help the city’s Downtown connect better.

Okay.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if you think this is the nicest buildings that you have seen, well….that’s your opinion man.

One thing that is not a matter of opinion is that property west of the MetroMover tracks and east of I-95 is in the West Brickell neighborhood.

West Brickell has a LOT of rental buildings.
Brickell Residential buildings are overwhelmingly owned as condominiums, with only a few exceptions.
Panorama, Yacht Club on Brickell Bay Drive, and the Camden Brickell Apartments.

They added a ton of vegetation and greenery growing up the podium which helps our city stand out as one building for the future.

Are you sure thats what it is? Is the greenery real or fake? What are those little brown squares? So many questions….

It’s not knowing you’re going to be hearing construction noise for the next 5-6 years 24/7.

Not a major part of highway, Sound proof windows help, probably no louder than anywhere else in Miami
