I agree... it's kinda stubby but it would certainly add a new twist to the skyline. Nice to see some office towers going up for a change.

On a related note, the convex glass wall is facing SE 15th Road, which was recently renamed to "Broadway", which was the street's original name. Might we be seeing a new high-rise corridor? Hmmm...

SE 15th Rd (Broadway) is the line where Brickell's density changes. North of 15th is Brickell's commercial district where all the major Brickell development is occurring. The Four Seasons Tower is located between SE 14th Ter and SE 14 Ln.

South of 15th is where The Roads neighborhood begins, so called because there are no east-west "streets", only NW/SE "roads". This is also where the gated Brickell waterfront communities are, like Santa Maria, Atlantis, Brickell Place, etc.

TIVOLI DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE 112 UNITS

The Chicago-based VOA Associates Inc. has been commissioned by Thirty Ninth Street Investors Group LLC to design Tivoli, a 3.15-acre residential development to be built on the west side of Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast 39th Street, where the Hamilton Insurance building is now located.

The Tivoli project will be made up of four low-rise buildings ranging from three to four stories, with a total of 112 units including estate homes, penthouses, townhomes, villas and lofts, with prices starting in the mid-$300,000s. Completion is slated for late next year.

VOA provides services in the disciplines of facility programming, master planning, architecture, landscape architecture and interior design, and clients include the city of Chicago, Northwestern University, Florida International University, Mount Sinai Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, Disney Club Hotels, the Orange County Convention Center and the National Gallery of Art.

Gargantuan complex.... this project must get built... What a dramatic addition to the skyline! It also helps go toward helping the skyline gain more dimension and reduce its linearity.

To think, downtown's tallest buildings (Wachovia, Met 3, Bank of America, Lynx??) would share the same street (SE 2nd Street). Seeing those buildings at street level in succession would be quite dramatic. Hopefully the grand entrance to the building would be just as elegant and beautiful.

Just attented the Omni CRA (community redevelopment agency) meeting. They went over plans for the omni area. Great plans! Lets see what happens.

Here is a link to their page http://ci.miami.fl.us/cra/Projects.htm.

Here is a great pdf (18 megs) with rendering of the area (futuristically speaking):

WOW, this is great stuff... thanks for posting! Future looks good for OMNI, not to mention that the historical photos give a nice glimpse into our past (that I-395 interchange construction particularly "wowed" me)... If you happen to attend any other CRA, DDA, zoning, MPO, or any other meetings and hear any interesting news, please let us know!

I LOVE the proposed towers for the mall site.  That looks like an incredibly dense urban village, the likes of which I've never seen!

Notice the speculated building drawings on the Miami Herald site that was sold. They even have Opus which most likely will be moved.

They did say the miami herald buildings will not be affordable housing (everyone laughed expentantly).

Brookwood sells Brickell Bayview for $50.2M

A 33-story office tower adjacent to Mary Brickell Village in downtown Miami has sold for $50.2 million. Brookwood Financial Partners said it sold the asset through an affiliate.

The sale from Brookwood Bayview Investors was to America's Capital Partners.

The property, Brickell Bayview Tower, is 286,341 square feet and more than 85 percent leased.

Brookwood bought the property two years ago. That was before the development of Mary Brickell Village, a mixed-use apartment and retail center.

"We initially acquired the property with the belief that the continued development of the Brickell submarket into a 24-hour metropolitan center would have a positive impact on the value of Brickell Bayview Tower," explained Thomas N. Trkla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brookwood.

Trkla said the strength of the submarket and development of Mary Brickell Village, plus significant investor appetite for properties in the area, allowed Brookwood to achieve its business objectives for the property slightly ahead of schedule.
