Building the Brickell House
Construction on Brickell House started in the spring of 2012. This was an important time because it was one of the first big apartment projects to begin in Miami after a tough economic period. This period included the housing bust and a recession in the late 2000s.
Building the tower helped create many jobs. It was estimated that 300 to 400 people found work during its construction.
How the Project Was Funded
The project cost about $170 million. To make sure they had enough money, the builders used a special way of funding. They made sure that at least 70% of the apartments were sold before construction even started. This method is popular in places like Latin America. It helps make sure the building gets finished and reduces risks.
What's Inside and Around
Brickell House is located in Miami's Brickell Financial District. Its address is 1330 Brickell Bay Drive. The building has 374 apartment units. It also features a special robotic parking garage. This garage uses robots to park cars!
The apartments come in different sizes. There are small studios, about 400 sq ft (37 m2). There are also larger units with three bedrooms, around 1,438 sq ft (134 m2). The biggest apartments are penthouses, which are about 1,775 sq ft (165 m2).
The ground floor of Brickell House has shops and restaurants. This makes it a lively place for people to visit and live.
Design and Location Details
The main architect for Brickell House was Sieger Suarez. An interior designer named Yabu Pushelberg created the look inside the building.
