The foundation pour for The Residences at 1428 Brickell has been completed, a luxury 70-story condominium set to rise along Brickell Avenue in Miami. This milestone began on September 26 and continued for 33 uninterrupted hours, marking the largest mat foundation pour ever executed in Brickell and reinforcing the developer's commitment to delivering a new level of residential living in Miami.
A video shared on Instagram by a member of the concrete pouring team captured a fly-by of the site as the operation surpassed the 10,000 cubic yard mark, showing a dense web of placing booms, rebar, and crews working in tandem, while trucks continued their steady rotation through Brickell. The massive operation, managed by Coastal Construction, placed approximately 13,000 cubic yards of concrete throughout this continuous effort. Over 1,300 truck deliveries cycled between the site and the concrete plant to sustain the flow of material, while five placing booms coordinated placement on site.
The mat foundation also incorporated 2,700 tons of reinforcing steel to anchor the superstructure above. Ytech, led by CEO Yamal Yidios, is developing the tower, which will contain 195 residences ranging from 1,800 to 4,000 square feet, all oriented eastward with direct views of Biscayne Bay.
Arquitectonica designed the building with a flowing, wind-inspired façade and a distinctive solar panel-integrated glass exterior. A “Solar Backbone” of 500 photovoltaic-integrated windows will span nearly 20,000 square feet along the west-facing façade, generating 175,000 kWh of clean energy annually. This system is expected to reduce 4,700 tons of CO₂ emissions and offset 3,000 barrels of oil each year.
Interiors are being crafted by ACPV ARCHITECTS, Antonio Citterio, and Patricia Viel, while the landscape architecture is by ArquitectonicaGEO. Amenities will span an 80,000-square-foot wellness club tailored to relaxation and well-being.
The completion of the pour follows months of excavation and foundation preparation. Once built, The Residences at 1428 Brickell will stand 861 feet tall, introducing a new landmark silhouette to the Miami skyline.
