Foundation Pour Completed For Brickell’s 67-Story Mercedes Benz Places Tower

A foundation pour for the 67-story Mercedes Benz Places tower has been completed, according to the developer’s social media account.

Vertical construction is expected to begin in July.

The pour took place over the weekend, with over 10,000 cubic yards of concrete trucked in.

The development is one of the largest currently under construction in Florida, at over 2.5 million square feet.

Mercedes Benz Places will have 791 residential units, along with office, hotel, retail, and amenity space.

This new building will be an iconic landmark for Miami, enhancing Brickell’s appeal in this central area by the water. The park and paseo will attract world class visitors, keeping the area vibrant and fresh. Onward and upward!

This building is far from the water. West Brickell is an underdeveloped area of Miami.

They’ve been moving slow. It took them more than 4 years to start construction.

The architecture should have been redesigned, it’s too wide and massive.

Biscayne Bay is not even visible from West Brickell

You need a reality recertification. We know the world isn’t flat anymore. In this vertical city, being a few blocks from the water is just as good, if not better, than being right on it. This part of Brickell offers the same stunning views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, all while being in the heart of Brickell.

Exactly what Brickell has been missing! Green space, such cool water features and dynamic typography in the park. Envisioning live music and pickle ball lessons here 🤩

It’s 15 minutes to the beach—two beaches, South of Fifth and Key Biscayne! It’s also directly next to the historical Brickell mansions and Coconut Grove.

Sorry but getting from this part of Brickell to Miami Beach on a good beach day is not 15 minutes. Bess your heart. Wish it was though!

This part of Brickell provides the fastest way to South Point Park via I-95–>395, a direct path without traffic lights. It usually takes about 15 minutes—verify it on a map!

The fire station which still stands is part of the development.

It’s boarded up now (during the last week or two) and they are in the temporary stations.

They’re moving quick. Very impressive. Record breaking sales and one of best locations in Miami.

Great news , but there is a one little hiccup , somehow they will have to catch up to this with the second half of the building that goes in the ground where the fire station is right now .That , at this speed may take another 3-4 years.

Funny because the Mercedes Benz tower is closer to the Calle Ocho plaza than the actual waterfront 😂

It’s a “driver’s” location

This place isn’t near Calle Ocho. It’s close to Brickell City Center and a few blocks from Bayfront and the New River District. It’s better than living directly on the water, with easier access and higher elevation during storms. You get waterfront living with added convenience.

It is close. Thats why a nearby tower is literally called “Calle 8”

Nice looking building. Something different and exciting.
However, the names of buildings are a bit much… named after cars and stuff….
Did they run out of names? The building isn’t any nicer if it is named Porsche tower, Mercedes Benz, or Lincoln.

GREAT infill. The premium stuff is starting to bleed into the west brickell side. GO MIAMI!

Anonymous

I don’t think you can call anything in Brickell “in-fill” anymore. This is a premier building, not an in-fill project to create housing. We need more infill in Little Havana, but no one seems to have enough sense to give that area an upzoning for the “infill”. Still looks nice though.

Anonymous

It’s already zoned for solid mid-rise infill projects. The issue is land bankers, lack of infrastructure, and of course, lack of a vision to redevelop the neighborhood properly i.e., not destroying historic structures for boxes with parking podiums, while crappy postwar buildings remain.

No to ANY upzoning until there’s a Metrorail extension from Government Center. Until then, plenty of empty and underutilized land and properties exist in the core east of I-95, south of I-195, and north of SW 15th Road.
