The Project’s design responds primarily to human scale and pedestrian interests. The Project complies with the Brickell Financial Established Setback Area requirements, providing a thirty (30) foot setback along the Brickell Avenue frontage which allows for large sidewalk areas to be improved with landscaping and hardscaping, enhancing the pedestrian realm and experience. The current condition at the Property includes a narrow sidewalk with stairs and an elevated platform which discourages pedestrian interaction with the Property. The Property currently lacks any significant landscaping or tree canopy onsite which will be remedied by the development of the Project which features a robust landscaping plan incorporating native trees that are appropriate for the area and can provide shade to pedestrians.

Ytech is the developer, with Arquitectonica the architect.

The UDRB Hearing is scheduled for November 16.
