The Villa Magna Condominium Complex was an urban development that was planned to rise on a 2.5-acre (1.0-hectare)[1] plot in Brickell, downtown Miami, Florida.
However, in 2007 the developers changed the plans to include more hotel, retail, and commercial space in realization of the quickly declining housing market at the time.
[4] In 2016, the FAA approved supertall heights up to 1,040 feet (320 m) above ground level for the site and it was said that Foster + Partners was designing the building.
The new design features more mixed-use and public space at the base, with much of the parking underground,[5] a difficult task in Miami due to very low elevation.
The design would feature a public arcade running through the block to the Baywalk as well as 56,800 square feet (5,280 m2) of open space.
