Report: Developer In Talks To Buy Brickell Property For Around $500m

A developer is in talks to buy a waterfront property in Brickell, according to Commercial Observer.

Oak Row Equities has signed a Letter of Intent and placed a refundable deposit on the properties at 1001 and 1111 Brickell Bay Drive.

Aimco currently owns the properties.

The negotiations are for a purchase price of around $500m.

Two towers are currently on the property, including a multifamily tower and an office tower.

They are likely to be redeveloped into luxury condos.

The waterfront site allows a potential supertall height.

Citadel is planning a supertall office tower designed by Foster & Partners down the block.

Just what we need in Miami more luxury apartments that will sit empty rather than normal apartments that working and professional people can actually afford. It’s one thing to build luxury buildings on empty land it’s another to remove non-over priced housing to building luxury buildings. Go ahead and dislike this but we won’t be a world class city unless we build housing people will actually live in and not just pretty but empty buildings.

Affordable housing and Bayfront housing in the Brickell neighborhood don’t go together.

I understand that but I didn’t suggest that we build affordable housing on the Bayfront. I’m just saying we shouldn’t knock down dense buildings that contain Brickell full time residents who contribute to the local economy only to kick them out and build something that’s going to sit empty which is what happens with most of these ultra luxury apartment buildings because people who want to live and work here cannot afford those

If oak row equities is paying 500 million for this property , it means that this developer needs to build a super project to recoup 500 million. They are probably going to build 3 super skyscrapers on this site

Yes, and they were proposing a decent refurb (unlike One Broadway) and taller tower.

Doubt 1001 office tower gets redeveloped as condo. It’s Class A space and the Brickell office market is tight.

Both buildings look pretty decent and shouldn’t be torn down. There’s plenty of empty lots that can be developed.

the four ambassadors is a co-op making a buyout very tough

actually at 748 units, they would receive decent offers if a developer were to offer something around $500 million

Not a guarantee. Seen plenty of bldgs where the owners just eat the costs and move on.

That wretched property will be around forever, I’m afraid.

Come on, the four ambassadors are much worse than the Aon building or either of those 40 story condos the Mark or the Yacht club.
