Brickell Citicentre presents at University of Miami Real Estate Impact Conference:

Global Urban Design in Miami

Bernardo Fort-Brescia, founding principal of Miami-based architecture firm Arquitectonica

In a session titled “Global Urban Design & Miami 2020,” panelists outlined a planned development that exemplifies the city’s leading role in urban design trends.

Brickell CitiCentre, a 4.6 million-square-foot mixed-use project, will transform a nearly four-block area just west of the Brickell Avenue financial corridor into a “city within a city.” The plans, approved by the City of Miami in 2011, call for multi-level retail stores and restaurants, office towers, residential units, medical services and a hotel, supported by underground parking, covered sidewalks and a renovated Eighth Street Metromover transit station.

Hong Kong-based Swire Properties is developing the project, and Swire’s CEO for Mainland China, Guy Bradley, noted that the Brickell area’s urban characteristics, including a growing residential population, easy access to transit facilities and an under-retailed local market, attracted the company to the site. To successfully complete it, he added, Swire will draw on its longstanding Miami presence, leading-edge developments in China, financial resources and long-term investment perspective. The company sees Miami in the same light as Hong Kong: an international gateway city whose economy is reinforced by a flow of offshore capital, Bradley added.

“Right now, this area is the hole in the donut in the Brickell neighborhood,” added Bernardo Fort-Brescia, founding principal of Miami-based architecture firm Arquitectonica and architect for several Swire projects in Asia. “It will be easy for residents to walk, bike or take the Metromover to Brickell CitiCentre, which offers easy access from I-95. The buildings will hug the streets, which will remain open to vehicles. It’s a very urban solution to the site.”
Fort-Brescia added that Brickell CitiCentre incorporates numerous energy-saving features, including a multi-block “green” roof, specially shaped trellis that funnel tropical breezes to the outdoor walkways, solar panels, and a climate ribbon that collects water for the project’s cooling towers and landscape irrigation system. “This will be the first sustainable neighborhood development project in the U.S. of this magnitude,” said Fort-Brescia said. “For us, it’s all about designing a lasting urban environment that will support the Brickell neighborhood.”

Swire Properties has obtained a $140 million credit facility to kick-start the $1.05 billion Brickell CitiCentre project. The credit facility was provided by HSBC Bank USA. The financing is to be used for "operations and initial costs of development" for the 4.3 million-square-foot first phase of the project.
