Capital at Brickell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Capital at Brickell is a complex of two skyscrapers in the Brickell district of Miami, Florida. The complex is currently under construction, and is expected to open in 2010. The complex consists of two towers made up of residential, office, a hotel and retail, Capital at Brickell Tower I and Capital at Brickell Tower II. Tower II will be the taller one, rising to a height of 806 ft (246 m). Tower I will be 607 ft (185 m) tall, and will be located to the south of Tower II. Tower I will be 52 floors and Tower II will have 56 floors. Although not the tallest buildings currently under construction in Miami, which is experiencing a Manhattanization wave, the towers are some of the more striking architecturally. Both towers will be reminiscent of the Chrysler Building in New York City. The tops of the buildings will be especially similar, with the "crown" at the top of each builidng and a similar spire. The complex will be located in the southern Brickell Financial District of Miami. It will be on South Miami Avenue near 12th Street. The towers are part of the recent push to build more skyscrapers in the West Brickell area of Miami, which does not border Biscayne Bay as does most of downtown. The architect of the complex is Fullerton-Diaz Architects, Inc. The developer is Cabi Developers, lead by VP of Development Miroslav "Misha" Mladenovic.
