The proposed skyscraper, located along Biscayne Bay, would become Citadel’s new global headquarters and include additional office space, a hotel, and other mixed-use components. It is one of Griffin’s largest investments since relocating his business operations from Chicago to South Florida.
In a newly published interview, billionaire founder of Citadel praised Miami’s energy and outlook.
The 2.8-acre parcel, located at 700-799 Brickell Avenue, was once slated to become the One Brickell City Centre, a 1,000-foot-tall office tower. However, Swire scrapped those plans earlier this year, citing difficulties in the current office market.
Companies tied to Griffin and Citadel spent about $670M on the Brickell assemblage in 2022.
