The tallest condominium in the United States south of New York City has earned its Temporary Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Miami, paving the way for closings and occupancy this fall. Designed by Revuelta Architecture for CMC Group, the 64-storey Brickell Flatiron is one of the tallest buildings in the city, topping out at a height of 224 metres.
CMC Group unveiled the distinctively shaped Brickell Flatiron in 2015 and garnered significant interest from both domestic and overseas buyers. Approximately 95 percent of the development's 527 units have been sold, with over half of those units purchased by Americans. Remaining residences are on the market from $790,000 to $3 million USD. An upper duplex penthouse is also available for $8 million.
"When we started developing in Miami in the early 1990s, our firm viewed Brickell and Downtown as a 'blank canvas' that would one day come to life as a vibrant residential and commercial district where streets were alive 24 hours a day," said developer Ugo Colombo, Founder of CMC Group. "Brickell Flatiron stands out for its unique luxury lifestyle woven into the urban landscape and is a reflection of Miami’s coming of age as a cosmopolitan city with a thriving downtown at its heart."
The tower's 64th floor rooftop amenities include a spa, pool, and 6,300-square-foot gym featuring sweeping views of the bay and downtown. A resort-style lap pool and separate children's pool are located on the 18th floor, with additional amenities like a private movie theatre, billiards room, wine cellar and 24-hour concierge also enhancing the living experience.
Completion of Brickell Flatiron comes at an auspicious time for the city's urban core, which is experiencing a population boom. Numerous highrise residential projects have contributed towards a doubling of the downtown population since 2000. More than 92,000 people live in the city centre, with that number estimated to pass 100,000 by 2021.
