Citadel Tower Submitted At Taller Height

Citadel’s new supertall headquarters tower has been submitted for site plan review, at a taller height.

In late August, the plans were submitted to Miami-Dade for zoning review showing a height of 1,032 feet above sea level. Zoning review is currently in process.

With the new site plan filing on September 23, the height has been increased to 1,049 feet above sea level.

The number of floors is now listed at 55, compared to 54 stories in the original filing.

The new site plan filing shows the development is now planned to have:

  • approximately 1,293,373 square feet of office
  • hotel/accommodation uses consisting of approximately 413,476 square feet containing 212 hotel rooms and accessory uses, including health spa, fitness club, ballroom, conference and event uses
  • restaurant and/or retail uses consisting of approximately 23,590 square feet
  • approximately 50 below-grade, on-site, executive parking spaces, with additional parking across the street

Construction is estimated to begin in the third quarter of 2025, the company previously said.

Foster + Partners is the design architect, with AAI architects the architect of record. Field Operations is the landscape architect.

55 stories for a 1,050′ tower. Those are high ceiling per floor plate!

I think there is a lot going into main floor, and parking deck before it gets to the actual residences, which are probably 14-15 ft ceilings.

Nice but boring design. Miami needs something iconic! https://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/most-beautiful-skyscrapers-world

Baccarat confirmed they won’t start on their third building till 2030. It will be decades before the baywalk is open, you have to realize. It’s unfortunate but true.

Baccarat is the Miami River Greenway, not the Bay Walk.

Miami River is nicer than bay walk.

It is open in places that are not preparing for construction of a 1,049 ft tall building.
If you like to walk, just walk around their property as you have for the last 25 years.

Anyone else notice in the renderings how the sun appears to be setting or rising over Biscayne Bay? The sun sets in the west so that lighting that is depicted would never happen unless the view is taken at 7am which would not render a filled outdoor restuarant patio.

Please remove the toilet plunge of a crown!

The crown isn’t even my biggest nitpick. It’s the monotonous exterior. Still, I’m very happy to see this will likely get built, and at a slightly taller height, too.

I think you can design an interesting building without the details you mentioned ^^^. You should check out good architecture, like the Citadel building designed for New York.🤨

It’s so refreshing from the rest of the boxes around it ! I wish it had a condo component !
I can imagine it with two spires on top of the crown reaching towards the sky … over the top !

I have a quick question, let’s suppose that they wanted to increase the height to 1080ft approx, would the FAA make an exception since it’s only a couple feet?

No lol. There’s a map everyone has to follow in certain areas where an emergency landing can happen, hence the height restrictions. Midtown is 400ft less for a reason.

great design!
Where is the parking? for 1.2MM sft of office need around 3 spaces x 1000 sft (+/-4000 spaces) to be able to lease it .
How do they connect from the parking to the offices without getting wet?

An underground tunnel would sure come in handy!

you use an umbrella. Not ideal but considering its directly across the street its not that big of an issue.

There should be a tunnel to the new 2nd Ave in Brickell so you can have an express way to go around the congestion.

They walk really really fast.

Someone should invent a foldable thingy, with a stick for a handle, and some sort of water resistant dome-like cover so people walking in the rain can hold it over their head and not get wet.

Exactly. After years of living in New York City, walking through puddles, slush, snow, and everything in between, I think I can manage a few blocks to work with an umbrella here. The terrain is far more enjoyable compared to what I’ve encountered anywhere else.

Because you just drive by every day and you never pull over to help those 3 or 4 guys out.

You’d better hope your “real job” does not require skills such as reading comprehension and concentrating on the topic at hand.
