History

In 2013, it was reported that if built the project would not be completed until at least 2018 and will cost roughly $1 billion U.S.D. to build. The building was originally proposed at , but was later reduced to , and may be reduced further due to a Notice of Presumed Hazard letter from the FAA. The FAA has finally approved the 80-story height of One Brickell City Centre, which is now set to become one of the tallest buildings in the country. In January 2015 the FAA announced that they would try to block the project unless they cut the height to 475 ft, though this was never finalized. June 24, 2015 federal officials determined a height of 1,040 feet above ground level, or 1,049 feet above sea level wouldn't pose a hazard to air navigation, and the project would legally be allowed to continue. The plans were for a mixed use building with of retail, of Class A office space, 256 condominiums, and 120 hotel rooms. It is part of the mixed-use nine-acre

development. The tower would also include a lounge on the 80th floor and a restaurant on the 79th floor. The tower was redesigned in 2022 to be all office space. In 2023, demolition permits for the existing building were granted, and in January 2024, demolition is still underway. In March 2024, the building's developers have yet to secure an

Cancellation

In February 18, 2025 the Council of Urban Buildings and Habitat stated that the tower was cancelled as the developers didn't secure pre-leasing commitments of the project. That lead the building's developers to halt the project and remove their equipment from the building's site. Now, the developers of the tower have concentrated on building other projects in the city of Miami.
