Tree Permit Issued At Site Where 80-Story Cipriani Residences Planned

A tree permit has been issued at the Brickell site where the 80-story Cipriani Residences is planned.

The permit allows the removal of 5 trees in the right-of way, to be replaced by 8 trees in the right-of way.

It additionally allows 26 tree replacement plantings.

Construction permitting is now underway for all three towers.

A foundation permit was applied for in December, with the full plans filed January 19. It is currently in review.

The Cipriani Residences tower is approved at a height of 940 feet above ground, or 950 feet feet above sea level.

Two additional towers with rental apartments are also approved at the same property, rising 50 and 60 stories with a maximum height of 693 feet above ground, or 710 feet above sea level.

The combined three towers are planned to include:

  • 1,300 residential units (with 397 of those in the Cipriani condo tower)
  • 18,300 square feet of full service restaurant
  • 1,646 car parking spaces
  • 2,472 bike parking spaces

Can’t wait to see these towers rise along with 1428 Brickell. This area of Brickell will become very dense.

Assuming they don’t find any pottery fragments below ground…

The artifacts are primarily being found at the mouth of the Miami River. They have been found around downtown too. A rich uncovered history will make a richer and denser Brickell with community cultural space.

Hopefully the spirits of that burial ground have their revenge upon those that are responsible for building those monstrocities on their sacred lands

From 8th St to 16th street, Brickell will have 7 new towers (Citadel and 888 over 1000 ft, Cipriani 940 ft, St. Regis, Ora (Casa Tua), and the two apartment towers next to Cipriani over 500 ft each; plus a modernized (clean-lines and full glass) re-do of One Broadway. With the ground floors full of restaurants should be an amazing scene about 3-4 years from now.

Plus, the new Brickell River District and One Southside towers going up now. Brickell is on fire on all fronts! It will be one remarkable walkable city neighborhood in a few years with this next phase of development.

The renovation of One Broadway into another generic glass box missed the mark, especially when the 2019 proposal retained the articulation at the top and had an interesting crown. Same with Courvoisier Centre…

Anonymous

agree with the comment, on the re-do it could have a more distinguishable crown , but never did like the rounded top (probably more so because of the huge “ONE BROADWAY” letters, terrible) or the color, so happy to see that go. In the end the multiple higher buildings going up around it will make this more of filler, so clean and unobtrusive may be fine.

I’m a bit more worried about the west side of 1428 where the sustainable energy solar panels are located, renderings never really show it, but if you look at the floor plans you see it’s a huge 70 story wall, hopefully the panels just make it look like a continuous flow of matching glass, but there won’t be light or anything coming out of most of the west side (just little wrap-around corner balconies), so at night it’ll look dark … then again, no lights facing west to distract the Cipriani owners 🙂

Agree. Look at Miami Circle twenty years ago and now. The artifact is buried. Why would HistoryMiami stop maintaining the circle? If HistoryMiami wants to show the artifact, shouldn’t it be above ground, enclosed on site?

They’re not given adequate funding. Lets just say when it comes to tax dollars I doubt historical preservation is a high priority for Miami.

I’ve spoken to many people who are here for the history and culture. If people just wanted a beach they would go to Tampa. I heard Miami has the greatest surplus of tax funding in history. People think that when CRAs get cash rich that money disappears in hands of “ghost employees” with salaries and free cars 👻 they are losing faith in leaders and think there is systemic corruption. We can’t let this surplus disappear. We need to see it go toward verifiable improvements.

I would think priorities for Miamians are flood prevention and environment, transportation, high paying jobs, law enforcement and road safety, tourism, healthcare, and world class parks, cultural activities (e.g., historical preservation) and entertainment.

Same. I think a grand park is better, but it needs an enclosed all-glass space like the louvre so the artifacts are visible and not buried below a “dog park” (as biased parties call it). It would make the values skyrocket for the developer and all around the site. The Miami Circle can’t even be seen anymore and HistoryMiami stopped really maintaining it.

Why is “HistoryMiami” hiding the historical Circle artifact and failing to maintain the grounds, when we have a surplus in the budget? A park is not enough. A museum + park is essential.

Yes, some uncovered pottery shards, pointed sticks, and a Cheetos bag are on par with one of the world’s most famous museums.

You do know the Louvre acquired all those works and put them in the worlds famous museum. With all the billionaires moving to Brickell, I see no reason we shouldn’t transfer some of those historical acquisitions to a new world famous Brickell world museum with the Miami Circle in the east wing.

You want Miami be a worldclass city, then let’s make it one. Don’t get full on architectural appetizers, the entrees haven’t even been presented yet.

I like it, but looks too similar to 1428 Brickell. They both have undulating balconies…is this the best Architects can come up with?

I live in Brickell and there is never any traffic. If you are on/near Biscayne Ave in Downtown or Brickell Ave in Brickell, you’re going to encounter intense traffic. That’s just the trade off of being closer to the bay.

The Cipriani looks nice in the renderings. Although not technically a supertall, nonetheless, the Cipriani is a nice residential complex. I’d love to see more midrises (646 ft max) extended along South Miami Ave in South Brickell from Simpson Park to SW 17th Ave, similar to how Edgewater’s developments have a height limit due to the flight paths

I’d love to see southern Brickell preserve its beautiful residential homes and townhouses, and new high rise developments extend west in Brickell.

West of I95 in Riverside should have transitional architecture with elements of both Brickell and Little Havana, preserving historical buildings, with high rises north of 8th Street / Calle Ocho.

Little Havana should remain historical with low rises, and the Little Havana downtown and art district should be revitalized with more giant oak trees and cobble stone streets. The central core of Calle Ocho should have a downtown bypass to divert the the traffic around the Calle Ocho Main Street, allowing for more walkable activities and street fairs.

We should connect Brickell to Little Havana via Riverside, and an I95 underpass greenway, with thoughtful community-focused masterplanned mix of redevelopment and restorations projects.

A metro line from Brickell to the Marlins stadium would enhance accessibility and turnout to baseball games.

Just fyi, there’s no evidence suggesting a park is anywhere in the plans. That idea has sprung up solely in the comments section on this site.

I’m aware. I think the evidence would be the large park located in the last place they found archeological remnants.

The TNM reports tend to be spot on. However, most of the reader comments on developments and plans are unmitigated speculative wish list bullshit.
