Brickell City Centre will be a four-block complex on nine acres along South Miami Avenue just north of Eighth Street. When it’s fully built, the 5.4 million-square-foot project will include 565,000 square feet of shopping and entertainment, two residential towers, a 263-room hotel with 89 apartments, a wellness center and Class-A offices.

German design/build firm Gartner has been contracted to build the structure. ?
