The Residences At 1428 Brickell Hosts Demolition Celebration As Their Construction Site Begins Preparation

Heavy equipment was moved in and the aging 1980’s-era office tower that once stood at 1428 Brickell is now destroyed, making way for a glittering new energy-efficient luxury condo development called The Residences at 1428 Brickell. But before the heavy moving began, we did what people in Miami do… we celebrated!

Miami is famous for always finding a reason to celebrate, but a demolition party is arguably one of the most fun and productive events you can take part in here in the 305. It is filled with excitement of the future, glamour and prestige, our “out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new” mindset, we can get a much-needed release of tension in an appropriate atmosphere, and toast to the future with our fellow brokers before heading back out to create more Miamians and fill our towers.

The development team for the Residences at 1428 Brickell recently gathered for this monumental event, bidding goodbye to an aging office building and ushering in 189 luxury residences in the first ever solar powered luxury tower in Miami.

Among friends and colleagues, everyone gathered in the parking lot of the tower, which has been vacated for months as the developer disconnected the power and gathered the necessary permits from the city. Champagne was passed with hors d’oeuvres by suited white glove waiters, there were photo ops galore as everyone giggled and swung at the building as cameras flashed.

After the party wrapped, the team went back to work with indentations in our coifs from the hard hats as the workers with heavy equipment and proper skill filtered in behind us and did the heavy lifting.

Now that the milestone is crossed, we think solidly toward the future and the beautiful tower that will stand before us, making its own mark in our famous skyline.

“When we acquired the property at 1428 Brickell Avenue, we did so with the firm intent of delivering a level of design, craftsmanship, and meaningful innovation never before seen in Miami. As demolition commences, we will ensure that even the earliest stages of The Residences at 1428 Brickell’s construction echo our commitment to delivering a truly superior product for our buyers,” said developer Yamal Yidios, CEO of Ytech.

Mr. Yidios is more than just promoting his product, we have covered every step of this development and been impressed at every turn. From the purposeful designs to the flow of space and privacy of the layouts has been impressive. Even details within the walls are worth speaking about despite the fact they’ve never been seen.

Now that the demolition is in full swing, the path is open to move toward the scheduled completion in 2027. It has been estimated that the 861-foot tower will take approximately 19 moths to reach full height with two tower cranes that are each over 1,000 feet above ground.

Prices range from $2.4 million for a two-bedroom plus den, to four-bedrooms plus den ranging from $5.5 million to $7 million. Lower penthouses start at $8 million with the spectacular $60 million penthouse that has 30-foot ceilings and unparalleled views and a private rooftop pool.
