Hong Kong-based developer Swire Properties is planning a 79th-story restaurant and 80th-story lounge to top off One Brickell CityCentre tower, the centerpiece of the massive mixed-use development. Pending FAA approval, the high-rise residence, hotel, office space and shopping mall will climb 1,100 feet to become not only Miami's tallest skyscraper but also the tallest building in the U.S. outside of New York and Chicago. The tower will be divvied up this way: floors one through 30 will be used for office space; residential units will take up floors 34 to 66; a hotel will occupy floors 70 to 78 and the uppermost floors will be reserved for the plebs to indulge in the unparalleled views, as long as they are eating or drinking.
UPDATE: The megaproject has had yet another name tweak. Originally it was Brickell CitiCentre, then Brickell CityCentre, and now it's Brickell City Centre. Notice the space between 'City' and 'Centre'. This makes the tower One Brickell City Centre too. What's in a name?
