Planned in Miami’s Brickell Financial District the building will be designed by architecture firm Arquitectonica with interior design done by Italian architecture firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel (ACPV) Architects and engineering firm Cosentini Associates as the solar energy consultant.
The building will incorporate solar energy into its facade, with the intended result is in a projected reduction of approximately 4,700 tons of CO2 and equivalent to using 3,000 barrels less of oil. The building will comprise of 189 fully-finished residences with two- to four-bedroom plus den units ranging from 1,800 to 4,000 square feet (167 to 372 square meters), and a penthouse collection of units ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 square feet (372 to 929 square meters). John Moriarty Associates has been selected as the general contractor. Cervera Real Estate serves as the sales team representing the property.
The building’s entrance and arrival lounge features a welcoming, immersive arrival experience that includes a library with wine and food options for residents and their guests. Additional services include reception, valet, porter; bellhop and door attendant services; and a pet facility with a grooming area and in-unit package delivery, among other amenities.
The vision for the interior spaces by ACPV will provide The Residences at 1428 Brickell a living area where emotion and intellect combine to produce the highest quality of life. The architecture and interior design will fuse seamlessly to make residents feel welcome and at ease from the moment they enter the building.
The site currently has a 10-story office tower, which will likely be razed to make way for the new development when a construction start date is determined.
