New construction permits have been filed for Baccarat Residences, a 73-story residential skyscraper located at 99 Southeast 5th Street in Brickell. The permit filing has revealed the structure will top out at 835-feet (254.5 meters), and will contain 806,326 square feet (74910 square meters) of space including 796,326 square feet (73,981 square meters) of space designated for residential use across 352 condominium units and 10,000 square feet (929 meters) of space for a restaurant. The corporation listed as the owner of the application is 444 Brickell Partners, LLC, an affiliate of the Related Group (Related).
Related is developing the highly anticipated tower with SH Hotels & Resorts, who manages the Baccarat Hotel in New York. The building is designed by Miami-based international architecture firm Arquitectonica with lavish interiors by New York City-based Meyer Davis, and landscaping will be handled by Enzo Enea of Zurich-based Enea Garden Design. John Moriarty and Associates of Florida Inc. is listed as the general contractor.
The interior lot is located on the northern end of Miami’s Financial District and faces the Miami River, with Brickell Avenue bordering the East-end of the city block and the 42-story Brickell on the River condominium on the West. The permit application indicates the lot spans 96,620 square feet (8,976 square meters), or 2.22 acres, which was once improved with an architecturally insignificant four-story office building from 1976 formerly addressed as 77 and 99 Southeast 5th Street. Total demolition permits were issued for the 102,620-square-foot (9,533-square-meter) structure back in 2020 and the job was carried out by The BG Group LLC.
