Adding to the Brickell skyline by 2027, Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami will rise 67 stories as a cube-like structure of curved geometric forms.

“In a city often expressed with painted concrete, the tower design uses shaped silver aluminum cladding, referencing automotive silhouettes, to wrap the balconies and dramatically catch the light,” describes Gregg Pasquarelli, a founding principal at SHoP Architects, which is bringing the project to life with JDS Development Group and Mercedes-Benz. Residences, ranging from studios to three bedrooms, by Woods Bagot continue the exterior’s look and feel with wood elements and graphic finishes in crisp black or white—much like the sleek detailing of a slick automobile.
