59-Story Tower Planned In Brickell, With New Stretch Of Public Riverwalk

A developer is planning a 59-story tower on the Miami River in Brickell called Two Riverside.

The project will be a “signature development,” that will activate the riverfront with a public riverwalk and ground floor commercial space, according to a representative of the developer.

Lofty Brickell is already under construction next door at the One Brickell Riverfront site, where two towers are planned at 43 and 44 stories with 784 residential units.

The new 59-story tower is proposed to include:

  • 169 residential units
  • 1,090 square feet of commercial use
  • no new parking (parking will be provided at Lofty Brickell next door)

The new riverwalk will be just over 10 feet in some spots, the filing shows.

In October, the developer received FAA approval for a tower height of 731 feet above ground, or 733 feet above sea level on the property. The approval letter was sent to NGD Riverfront LLC in Miami.

The proposal was reviewed by the Miami River Commission’s Urban Infill and Greenways Subcommittee on October 16. The Commission is scheduled to review the proposal on November 6.

I’m literally looking at the sites right now out of wework (rip) and cannot wait to see the additional riverwalk connection! The second tower will finally improve the sliver of land directly on the riverfront that was wasting away as a parking lot, but 169 units in 59 stories seems off.

Yes!! The brickell City Centre will have a continuous walk to the water and all way to new river district in Brickell and dream hotel in downtown

Yes, but the dream hotel is on the opposite side of the river

The concept is to have a continuous riverwalk looop that goes from Park Ave (sw2) bridge to Brickell Bridge so patrons can take a continuous loop around the river on both sides

Just ten feet for the river walk is disgusting.

Brickellites will cheer for it regardless. It is shameful the way this city disregards public space. They’d sell off every last park for condos if they could (and looks like they may be in Brickell)

That’s just the walkway. It’s not 10 feet, there’s benches and seating areas and huge park space with new landscaping and amenities on the river. Only thing is I’d add a bike path and bit wider walkway.

The plans are literally in the article. It’s clear as day.

So essentially – that bit of land most assumed would be part of the riverwalk will actually be another condo tower – squeezed onto that lot – with just 10 feet left over for the “riverwalk”.

There are sidewalks in Miami Worldcenter wider than that.

Wish we could get some actual shade trees and not palms, but looks good. And no parking 😍

City should eminent domain 40 feet from the river from i95 to the bay, and hire a developer to build a river walk and lease out space on the river. It’s a public necessity and we will earn the money back.

Same for the tower, considering this is also by Arquitectonica and look better with a sloped roof.

It’ll be a great project for the waterfront and brickell in general but I’m confused. Where will the second building besides Lofty be located? It seems there’s only space for lofty

It’s the tiny sliver of land adjacent to Lofty as shown on the map.

The giant rectangle of space to the left of lofty where people are walking, they will build it there.

You would think there is only space for Lofty – but looks like the developers, in typical Brickell fashion, are squeezing out every last possible unit from these lots.

The fact there is now just 10 feet of riverwalk……essentially a sidewalk.

This is so much wider and has huge public restaurant and dining space. Nothing like the poorly planned Baccarat sidewalk

The plan offers 20 feet of beautiful park space along the river walk, a significant improvement over Baccarat/Related’s plan with better public relations. Unlike Baccarat/Related, this plan prioritizes meeting public expectations rather than manipulating perceptions. Sections currently at 10 feet should be extended to at least 25 feet to allow for future bike paths and inevitable increased foot traffic.

Thats a lie. The plan depicts 17′ AT MOST (NEVER 20′) and even that is misleading because only 10′ of that is walkable. This is a sidewalk. The Riverwalk is the absolute last thing on the mind of this developer or they would have proposed something like the Hyatt.

It’s all about the Miami River Walk! This will be the premier spot in all of MiMi when it’s done

It’s all about squeezing as many units as possible out of the site – the 10′ wide Riverwalk is an after-thought.

You can easily do both

I mean, yeah. When you reduce the Riverwalk to a 10′ sidewalk then you can do both – clearly.

I guess I am the only one that would prefer a big park by the river, connecting the Circle park with Jose Marti…

No no i agreee, there must be more park space here but the private owners will do better job maintaining it than the city, just like at bayside

For those that think this is a win, take another look at the Hyatt proposal across the River. THAT is how you flesh out a riverwalk – add green space, community activities, park space, etc etc.

This is ridiculous.

Actually the Brickell River District which is huge is connected to this spot and it will be beautiful

Assuming it isn’t a bait and switch after voters approved it a year ago. Case in point, Riverside Center.

Thanks to our greedy local politicians Miami has the least amount of public/green space in the urban core.

I’m pretty sure the Underline and the Underdeck should substitute as green space, especially the Underdeck

They should have made this area a park since it’s so narrow and built this tower across the SW 6th street on the curved block. Same view of the water and then that ugly block is demolished too. Win win. But no

I think it’s clear at this point the city has opted not to develop a world class riverwalk and to instead sell off as much land as possible, as close as possible to the river, allocating just 10 feet for a sidewalk adjacent to the river.

So Miami.

This is a troll comment. This development is leading with developing the river walk – it’s exactly what they’re doing! Don’t be jelly of our new amazing river walk in Miami 🤩

A 10 foot sidewalk and a condo tower isn’t a public riverwalk. Go to Chicago and learn something about urbanism please.

The city is going to eminent domain the entire riverwalk and finish it in a way that’s invernal for all adjacent land owners to create a cohesive space serving a critical government need. Elect me for Commissioner and we will have this done on day 1

kind of unrelated, but can anyone tell me why the parking lot next to the mark on brickell bay/crazy about you restaurant has been fenced off for years and looks decrepit? Prime real estate right on the bay just sitting there for no reason… haven’t heard of any plans for it and i genuinely don’t get it..

I think this is going to be the site of the Citadel HQ. It was a parking lot before. No ETA on when it will be built that I’m aware of.
