A new batch of detailed-massing and aerial renderings have been revealed for two new towers at the MiamiCentral complex, a three-million-square-foot (278,709-square-meter) mixed-use railroad station development located primarily addressed as 600 Northwest 1st Avenue in the western perimeters of Downtown Miami. The renderings reveal in more detail two nearly identical 848-foot-tall (258-meter-tall) primarily residential skyscrapers spanning 83 stories each, potentially addressed and referred to as One MiamiCentral, featuring designs by Borges + Associates Architects and developed by prominent Coral Gables-based developer Florida East Coast Industries (FECI), the parent company of Brightline.
The design consists of two mostly rectangular superstructures with rounded corners rising out of multi-story podiums that are projected to yield a combined total of 2,007 residential units (1,003 + 1,004) with 49,634 square feet (4,586 square meters) of retail.
The tower’s exteriors show white metallic panels spread throughout their podiums, which will contain a parking garage for 2,136 vehicles. A landscaped amenities deck with a pool, garden, and open space is also shown in the renderings.
The ground floor levels incorporate sloped structural columns around the corners into the design, which simultaneously help transfer weight load down to larger structural support systems. A few more structural slopping columns are exposed and wrapped in a red gloss-like material while the transparent glass panels sealing in the terraces have a slightly green tint, and the dividers are colored in orange, much like the multi-linear panels below the first residential level. The remaining concrete walls feature white and dark grey stucco.
A double-deck pedestrian bridge will connect the two podiums at the parking levels, most likely with ease of access to the retail establishments below.
