Revealed: 930-Foot Tower Proposed At 1210 Brickell Avenue

Plans have been filed with Miami City Planners for the 76-story Ora by Casa Tua tower at 1210 Brickell Avenue.

A 7-story parking garage will be demolished to make way for the new tower. A 20-story office building on the site will remain.

The new tower is proposed to rise 930 feet, short of supertall status (supertalls are defined as being 300 meters, or 984 feet).

The development is proposed to include:

  • 540 residential units
  • 53,841 square feet of office
  • 24,260 square feet of commercial
  • 955 car parking spaces, and 1,980 bike parking spaces

There will be three basement levels with subterranean parking. There will also be around 10 floors of above-ground garage parking (around 206 spaces are needed for the existing office building under zoning rules). The car parking space quotas required by zoning are being reduced through an exchange for bike spaces.

Commercial space will be located on levels 1, mezzanine, 9, 10, and 75.

Amenity areas will be located on levels 9, 10, 11, 43, 44, and 76. Pools will be located on levels 9 and 75.

Residential will be located on levels 12 through 42, and 45 through 74. Office is planned on levels 2 through 8.

A sky garden is planned on level 44, with additional landscaping on level 75.

Planters with hanging landscaping are planned on the office levels. Garage screening is planned through the use of perforated metal stamped with an image.

Arquitectonica is the architect. Fortune International is the developer

One of Arquitectonica’s finest, local efforts in a long time. Very nice, indeed.

Maybe they’re actually paying attention to us bashing every miserable box with jagged balconies.

I wonder if dirty French will be allowed to remain open during construction

They cannot. The area needs to be cleared. This project is still a couple of years away from groundbreaking.

Dirty French resides in the office building which the article says will remain.

I don’t see why not, its on the other side of the building next to this site. I assume the entire office building will remain open.

I tried around 2005. The DR could have swapped that (undeveopable) land/building, for a full 3rd Floor Fee simple office space in 1060 Brickell Ave next door.
They’d have had a dedicated drive, elevator, parking area, and even a Brickell facing flagpole and monument sign.
Too much corruption down there. They missed the opportunity. Now it is just about worthless as a tiny lot with challenging ingress/egress.

GREAT and GREAT improvement. If we can all of these new projects built.. Brickell will on its way to becoming a very special place.

What kind of balconies are those ?

Not sure why Miami people love condos with balconies. I live in Brickell and all of them are barely used and are full of garbage or they use them as storage for their junk. I’d rather have more sqft under A/C, like buildings in Chicago or NYC.

People probably love condos with balconies here because the weather is great 8 months of the year for being outside. Everyone wants outdoor space so they can go outdoors from their own property and not have to be in a public space or pay someone money at a restaurant or beach club to be outside and chill. Believe me – coming from NYC – people in NYC always wish they had outdoor space, even if the weather sucks 8 months of the year.

I like it year around here, when youre on an elevated balcony there’s always a breeze to cool off the summer heat, not like a concrete jungle that traps heat up north in the summer.

The weather is perfect for balcony living 12 months of the year here. Personally can’t imagine why anybody would live in Miami without some type of private outdoor space. What a waste of the perfect climate!

Then go live there since you hate being outdoors so much….might as well live anywhere

I live in Brickell, high enough up to see hundreds of balconies. No garbage, no objectionable storage. Seems you exaggerate to try to make a point. I get it, you don’t like balconies. I like a balcony. -1 +1 = 0

Balconies that are barely used are usually the case when balconies are shitty lol

I love the rendering of the sun on the far corner of the north side of street.
Obviously, who ever rendered that is not from Miami —– where our sun is either above in summer or south in winter.
