Santander Tower Submitted To FAA, Nearly Matching 70-Story Four Seasons Height

The proposed heights of the office tower planned by Banco Santander in Brickell have been filed with the FAA.

Santander’s tower will be close in height to the 70-story, 789-foot Four Seasons tower, which is currently the tallest on Brickell Avenue and the third tallest in Miami.

A lightning rod at the new Santander tower is planned to reach 784 feet above ground, or 791 feet above sea level, according to a filing received on Monday.

A bulkhead railing is planned at 761 feet above ground, while the new tower’s crown is planned at 759 feet above ground.

The 41-story tower is being developed by Santander on Brickell Avenue to replace a much smaller building it owns.

Demolition is already underway at the site, with construction permits for the new tower in process.

The new Santander Tower is planned to include approximately 635,000 square feet of office, 60,000 square feet of retail, 50,0000 square feet of restaurant, 20,000 square feet of fitness center, and 1,496 parking spaces.

Handel Architects and Bernardi & Peschard Arquitectura are the architects.

Wide sidewalks, out of the typical (boring) Miami box design, it is a great approach to our new Miami.

I could potentially seeing a lot of people moving from NYC to work in the new building…I mean why wouldn’t you?

After reading this on the news today I bet they’ will be lots of New Yorkers moving here!

‘New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul is reportedly releasing hundreds of convicts from the state prison system following her move to fire thousands of correctional officers who went on strike over unsafe work conditions.
A memo from New York State Department of Corrections (DOCCS) Commissioner Daniel Martuscello was released Monday, ordering prison superintendents to start figuring out which inmates qualify for early release, per new rules.’

🔊 Can ICE start tracking Trend y Agua gang members not just by tattoos, but by the loud, gunfire-like car sounds they intentionally rig to terrorize our thriving downtown. 🚙 🚫

It’s a form of psychological terrorism. 🚷These sounds drive away business, disturb the peace, and are tied to illegal immigrants involved in gang activity — we all know it. Stop the noisy cars – stop the gangs, and fentanyl will be gone. 🛑

With sound-detection cameras already being installed on I-95 ramps at entrance from US1 and Calle Ocho, it’s easy to pinpoint and remove these offenders. 👮‍♀️

Stopping this noise isn’t just about quieting the streets — it’s about making Miami safer, stronger, and finally able to breathe easy again. 😴

Not huge. 50 floors and 900′ would be great. There’s a sea of 400 and 500 buildings around, so less than half will really show, which is why the southeast water view render is angled just right.

The Santander Group is funding the development of this building with the intention to house their headquarters of the Americas.

Banco Santander currently employs 700 people in Miami. They will obviously occupy several floors when this opens late 2028, with the goal to expand the number of Miami employees.

The “openness” and “transparency” are core values of the bank, and they insisted that the architecture highlight the same.

IYKYK…..the exoskeleton is a structural element to allow for open office floor plans that have a minimal number of interior columns.

I sort of hope this gets VE’d to remove those silly random holes, so long as the curves aren’t squared off.

In this guy’s defense, I thnk he means the recessed balconies shown with houseplants, not the exoskeleton itself.
