Miami’s Historic and Environmental Preservation Board has scheduled a hearing on the Brickell Avenue’s First Presbyterian Church property, where a supertall tower could be built.
The First Presbyterian Church and partner developer 13th Floor Key Church, LLC are requesting an amendment to the historic designation.
An iconic, 80-story tower is being planned on the property. The property is designated historic.
The board will consider removing historic designation from a surface parking lot and educational building to allow for the new development. The educational building was constructed years after the original church building was built.
Miami’s Planning Department is recommending that the board approve the request, and classify the school building and parking lot as non-contributing.
The Board meeting is scheduled for December 3. To read the full application and staff report, click here.
