Plans have been submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) for The Residences at 1428 Brickell, a 70-story solar-powered highrise residential building slated for 1428 Brickell Avenue in the heart of the Brickell financial district. Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by ACPV ARCHITECTS and developed by Ytech, the 861-foot-tall superstructure will yield approximately 824,681 square feet and contain 189 dwelling units, nearly 80,000 square feet of amenities, and an integrated 6-story garage with 503 parking spaces. Cosentini Associates is the project’s solar energy consultant, and John Moriarty & Associates is the general contractor.

The following set of images gives us an in-depth look at the choice of materials for the exterior of the building as well as the unique sculpted structural profile. 1428 Brickell is nothing short of a massive tower, which will require the assemblage of an immense concrete superstructure, but the massing is broken down by curved corners, balcony slabs of varying lengths and dimensions, and a chamfering architectural crown element.
