A Towering Achievement

An instant icon, 619 Brickell ascends skyward with quiet confidence—a luminous 75-story landmark by the water’s edge. Its sculptural form, gently twisting toward the bay, is both striking and intentional, reflecting the vision and precision of Foster + Partners architects. The tower’s sensual shape is not the result of a preconceived notion, but an ingenious solution to a simple directive: Every residence must have the best water views possible.

An Ingenious Solution

The building’s form consists of five “collections” stacked atop a podium, with each residential collection comprising of up to 15 floors. Each of the top four collections is rotated slightly more eastward than the one below, the rotation precisely calculated to align each home with maximum sunlight and expansive waterscape vistas.

Building Features

Throughout the discovery process, Foster + Partners generated countless models of the rotational cassette concept to determine the best format possible.

from conception  to realization

The creative process at Foster + Partners begins simply, with putting pencil to paper. This freehand sketch was the first expression of the amenities pavilion that would form the lower floors of the building. The undulating glass walls, with a sleek saucer-shaped structure rising up from the third floor, is the type of imaginative architectural concept that could only come from the hand of a master. Facing the bay, these floors house the Nobu restaurant, fitness studio, café, and Wellness and Longevity by Nobu, with an entry that funnels down to the Brickell waterfront walkway.
