Brickell Arch
Visually and architecturally, the Brickell Arch (aka Espirito Santo Plaza) is a truly unique feature along Brickell Avenue, in the heart of Miami’s international financial district: a true and proper 36-story, sculpted glass-and-steel tower. The highlight of the building is its concave front arch, reflecting the developers’ view of this building as an icon of Miami’s role as the gateway to Latin America, Europe, and the world at large. Detached horizontal fins, equally spaced over the entire façade, accentuate the arch during the day. The project is the first high-rise office building in southern Florida with hurricane-resistant glass.
