Still, without question, the year’s biggest Brickell statement came from Brickell City Centre, sprawling at over a half million square feet and reminiscent of New York City’s Time Warner Center. In addition to prime residential and Class A offices, it heralded in premium retail and entertainment. A three-story Saks Fifth Avenue acts as an anchor retailer and  EAST Miami, featuring Quinto La Huella and Sugar, a rooftop bar, welcomed new nightlife alternatives. The Centre’s LEED-certified “climate ribbon” optimizes natural open air for circulation and ensures weather protection, replacing air conditioning and confined construction.
