Swire Hires New VP To Oversee ‘Nearly 1,000-Foot-Tall’ Office Tower (& Other Projects)

The US arm of Swire Properties has announced the hiring of a new executive to oversee a “robust pipeline of new projects” planned by the company.

Kevin Davenport was hired by the company as Senior Vice President, Development, a press release said.

“Swire has played a crucial role in the transformation of Miami into the foremost destination for real estate development in South Florida and nationally,” Davenport said.

Davenport has 15 years of experience in property development and was previously Senior Vice President of Development at Brookfield Properties in New York.

Among the project to be overseen by Davenport will be One Brickell City Centre. Groundbreaking for the office tower is planned for later this year, the company said today.

Davenport will also oversee residential development planned by the company, the release said.

One Brickell City Centre will be a “nearly 1,000-foot-tall Class A office building,” with the largest floor plates ever approved in the City of Miami, according to the release.

A super tall building is defined as being at least 300 meters (about 984 feet). Will this building be a super tall?

They need to seriously hurry up on demo of existing structures if they plan to break ground by year end.

Absolutely works in protecting from direct sun and lowers the temp, but humidity is unstoppable

I wonder if this timing is also part of a bid for the “billion dollar parcel” / former Herald site.

They also are developing a super tall on Brickell Key which I imagine will fall under the same VP.

Great, hire a bunch of outsiders who are unfamiliar with the city to take on a project based in Miami. What could go wrong?

Some beautiful buildings today, especially by Arquitectonica. Great local firm.

Compared to the boxes such a “great local firm” gives us nine out of every ten buildings, which look like they could be anywhere, I suppose you are right.
