In a time when the office asset class is struggling in most markets, Miami continues to defy the odds with its booming office market and high job growth. At the forefront of this thriving market is the announcement of One Brickell City Centre, set to become not only Florida’s tallest commercial building but also a shining example of the office of the future. Swire Properties Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Swire Properties Limited, and Related Companies, a leading privately-owned real estate firm in the United States, have commenced demolition on the site of this approximately 1,000-foot super tall tower.

The development, strategically located in the heart of Miami’s financial district, is designed to transform the city’s skyline and elevate its status as a global business hub. One Brickell City Centre is part of the second phase of the $1.05-billion, 4.9-million-square-foot, mixed-use development, Brickell City Centre, which opened in 2016 and was developed by Swire Properties.

Offering 1.4 million total square feet of office space and the largest floorplates ever approved for a commercial office building by the City of Miami, One Brickell City Centre is poised to become a premier location for businesses in Miami’s thriving financial services and technology sectors.

Internationally renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica has designed the building with the office of the future in mind, incorporating features and amenities that cater to the evolving needs of discerning office tenants. The building will offer spacious floor plans, outdoor terraces on nearly every floor, column-free interiors, indoor/outdoor spaces for meetings and gatherings, and state-of-the-art technology features.

The collaboration between Swire Properties and Related Companies is expected to set a new standard for office buildings in Miami, further cementing the city’s reputation as a desirable destination for businesses and investors in a market where the office asset class remains hot.

Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez, Henry Bott, the President of Swire Properties, and Stephen M. Ross, the Chairman and Founder of Related Companies, were in attendance at the event marking the beginning of this transformative project. Their presence highlights the significance of One Brickell City Centre for the city’s future.

One Brickell City Centre is conveniently situated at the entrance to Brickell City Centre, offering easy access to the I-95 at SW 8th and close proximity to various city transit options. The LEED Gold Certified development includes 500,000 square feet of shopping, culinary and entertainment offerings, as well as residential and additional office spaces.
