The first images of the design of Foster + Partners for the tower at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive in Miami, by the seaside promenade, have been unveiled. Rising 314 meters and 54 floors, the skyscraper will contain retail spaces, the relocated headquarters of the firms Citadel and Citadel Securities, founded by Kenneth C. Griffin, and a hotel at the top.
With its rounded corners the building presents a cone shape, enhancing its structural efficiency. A system of horizontal louvers taken from Florida’s vernacular architecture will shade the interiors and allow comfortable enjoyment of the impressive views of the surroundings. Construction is scheduled to start in 2025.
