One Brickell City Centre is a very tall building planned for Miami, Florida. It will have 80 floors and stand about 1,049 feet (320 meters) high. This building is designed for many uses, like offices, shops, and a hotel.
If it gets built, it will be the tallest building in the Southeastern United States. It would be even taller than the Bank of America Plaza in Atlanta. It is part of a larger project called Brickell City Centre. This big development covers nine acres in Miami.
The tower will also have a cool lounge on the 80th floor. A restaurant will be on the 79th floor. It will be located on Brickell Avenue and connect to the Eighth Street Metromover station.
Building History and Approval
The overall Brickell City Centre project started construction in July 2012. One Brickell City Centre is a key part of this plan.
Planning the Tallest Building
In 2013, people thought the building would cost about $1 billion to build. They expected it to be finished around 2018. The building was first planned to be 1,102 feet tall. However, its height was later lowered to 1,040 feet.
Getting Approval from the FAA
The FAA (which manages air traffic) had concerns about the building's height. They worried it might be a danger to airplanes. In January 2015, the FAA suggested the building should be much shorter, only 475 feet tall.
However, after more discussions, federal officials made a final decision. On June 24, 2015, they agreed that a height of 1,040 feet above ground would be safe. This meant the project could move forward as planned.
When finished, One Brickell City Centre will be the tallest building in the Southeastern U.S.
