609 Brickell is a proposed skyscraper planned for construction at 609 Brickell Avenue in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami, Florida. The project is being developed by 13th Floor Investments and Key International, with architectural design by Sieger Suarez Architects. Upon completion, it is expected to be one of the tallest buildings in Miami.
Development[edit]
The development of 609 Brickell involves a partnership with the First Miami Presbyterian Church, which owns the land. The church will retain its main building and receive new facilities, parking, and a park as part of the agreement. Financial aspects of the deal include a $48 million payment to the church, a percentage of the condominium sales, and revenue from a ground-floor restaurant.
Design[edit]
The design of 609 Brickell includes residential units ranging from one to four bedrooms, offering views of Biscayne Bay. Planned amenities for residents include a swimming pool, fitness center, and landscaped terraces.
History[edit]
The idea for the 609 Brickell project began as a partnership between the First Miami Presbyterian Church and the developers, 13th Floor Investments and Key International. The church, facing financial challenges, sought a way to leverage its valuable property to ensure its future sustainability. In early discussions, the developers proposed a plan that would allow the church to retain its historic building while also benefiting from the new development.
In March 2023, the developers and the church entered into a formal “transaction and development agreement,” which outlined the terms of the partnership. The agreement granted the developers the right to acquire the property and construct the skyscraper, with the obligation to provide the church with new facilities, parking, and a park upon completion.
The project has evolved over time, with adjustments made to the design and features to align with the needs of the church and the community. The developers have committed to preserving the main church building and integrating it into the overall design of the new tower.
