This morning, the Federal Aviation Administration determined that a proposed Brickell tower does not pose a hazard to air navigation. According to the determination letter, a building height of 737 feet above ground or 750 feet above mean sea level is deemed safe. The proposed height was submitted to the FAA in April, following an objection by Miami-Dade’s Aviation Department to a taller height. In March, county aviation officials stated that a tower height of 870 feet above sea level did not comply with airport height zoning regulations. The striking 65-story architectural design is currently moving through the zoning approval process with Miami-Dade County planners. The plans include ground floor retail space, a performing arts venue or retail complex, and 464 residential units with amenity spaces. The project is being developed by Millennium Developments of Brickell.
