Swire Properties Inc. (Swire), and New York-based Related Companies (Related), have unveiled their official plans for One Brickell City Centre, an approximately 1,000-foot commercial skyscraper proposed to replace an aging 10-story office building at 700 Brickell Avenuel. The project is designed by internationally renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica and is proposed to yield 1.6 million square feet of office space with the largest floor plates in Miami for a Class-A office building.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a well-documented inflow of new residents and businesses to Miami, primarily from urban areas in the Northeast U.S. and California. A resulting increase in investment activity from these market changes has generated interest from significant financial service and technology companies that do not traditionally have a presence in south Florida. In order to attract and accommodate these companies' interest and specific needs for office space, Swire and Related have requested that the City allow an alternate development program for the One BCC block which can accommodate a signature office tower design. The BHA and it’s board met with Swire Properties on June 28th, 2022 to review their plans and ask questions related to the project. Over the years the BHA and Swire Properties have maintained a good line of communication and collaborated together to see the overall betterment of our community.

“One Brickell City Centre solidifies Swire Properties Inc. and Related Companies’ belief in the future of the Miami real estate market. This monumental structure, which will be the tallest commercial building in Florida, brings an exceptional level of commercial space that the market has yet to see. As the city continues to evolve to become a global hub of commerce, finance and technology, One Brickell City Centre will play an important role in attracting exceptional companies that want to make Miami their home,” said Kieran Bowers, president of Swire Properties Inc.
