A contractor applied for a site work permit this morning at 1428 Brickell, just days after Miami’s Planning Department issued a final decision on the development.
On August 21, the Planning Department posted that it had issued a final decision on the 71-story tower (The Next Miami is working to obtain a copy of the decision).
Then on August 24, a construction permit application for site work was submitted to Miami’s Building Department, for an estimated $1,992,000 worth of work in the excavation/piles/site and soil work category.
John Moriarty is listed as the contractor on the site work permit.
A demolition permit for a 10-story office building on the property appears all but approved, and only awaits confirmation of electricity shut off, Building Department records show.
A separate permit for vertical construction of the new tower was submitted in March and continues to work its way through the approval process. John Moriarty is also the contractor.
The tower will become one of the tallest in Miami, at 861 feet above ground.
It will also be the world’s the first residential high-rise in the world partially powered by the sun, the developer says, with 500 photovoltaic-integrated windows.
A total of 189 condo units and six levels of parking are planned.
The building is being designed by ACPV Architects led by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, with architecture by Arquitectonica.
Ytech is the developer.
