“Before the skyline, Brickell was a forest. A piece of it still stands.”
Two blocks west of Brickell Avenue, where the financial district thins into shade, a 54-story tower is climbing over one of the last surviving stands of the original Miami hardwood forest. From the ninth floor up, every home looks south across a tree canopy that the city is not allowed to build over.
A Boutique Tower Over the Last of the Brickell Hammock
Seven Broadway is a 54-story, 113-residence project at 75 SW 15th Road — among the more deliberately conceived luxury condos for sale in Brickell to clear the City of Miami’s design review in recent years. Developed by Ytech and designed by the New York firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), the tower won unanimous approval from the city’s Urban Development Review Board in July 2025, and demolition of the former mid-century buildings on the site is already underway.
Ytech is not testing the market here. The firm has invested in, developed, or redeveloped more than 7,000 residential units across the southeastern United States over roughly two decades and, by aggregate asset value, describes itself as one of the largest privately held companies in Miami. A few blocks east, there is a building.
The Residences at 1428 Brickell, a 70-story tower marketed as one of the first solar-powered high-rises of its kind. The two projects make a telling pair: 1428 Brickell faces the bay; Seven Broadway turns its back on the traffic of Brickell Avenue and faces a forest.
CEO Yamal Yidios has called the tower the product of “years of thoughtful study, design refinement” — a claim the timeline supports. Ytech assembled the two parcels between 2018 and 2020 for roughly $8.2 million and has since secured a $19.5 million pre-development loan from Israel Discount Bank, carrying the project well into its pre-construction phase before a single unit went to market.
The Building & Architecture
KPF, founded in 1976 and working across more than 40 countries, is best known for One Vanderbilt — the 1,401-foot office tower beside Grand Central — and for the master plan of Manhattan’s Hudson Yards. Its Miami residential commissions are comparatively rare, which is part of what makes Seven Broadway notable: this is a firm that builds supertall, civic-scale architecture, applying that discipline to a single slender lot.
The result is a sculpted, bronze-toned tower wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, with undulating horizontal bands that trace each floor plate and rounded corners that soften the massing. Those corners are not a stylistic flourish.
On a site less than 100 feet wide, rounding the edges and stepping the setbacks help a tall building avoid reading as a wall against the sky. Landscape architecture comes from Enea, the Swiss studio of Enzo Enea, which extends the design to the street with native plantings, a sinuous entry canopy along SW 15th Road, and widened, shaded sidewalks.
Inside the envelope, the planning is unusually consistent. Residences occupy levels 9 through 50, sitting above a parking podium (levels 2 through 7) whose façade is treated as architecture rather than a garage.
Every home shares a single orientation — southern exposure with a private terrace — and every elevator opens directly into a private residential foyer, with service functions routed out of resident sightlines. The top of the tower reaches roughly 683 feet, with the highest occupied floor near 594 feet.
Residences & Pricing
The building holds just 113 homes across its 42 residential floors — a boutique count for a tower this tall. The mix runs from 36 one-bedroom and 36 two-bedroom layouts through 38 three-bedroom plans, topped by three full-floor penthouses on levels 46 through 48.
Interiors range from about 1,380 to 5,932 square feet, with typical floor plates of roughly 7,372 square feet. Because every residence faces the same direction, buyers preparing to purchase a home for sale at Seven Broadway will primarily choose based on elevation and ceiling height rather than on which way the windows face.
| Residence type | Number of homes | Approx. interior size |
|---|---|---|
| One-bedroom | 36 | From ~1,380 sq. ft. |
| Two-bedroom | 36 | Mid-tower plans (levels 9–50) |
| Three-bedroom | 38 | Larger family-scale plans |
| Full-floor penthouse | 3 (levels 46–48) | Up to 5,932 sq. ft. |
On price, the honest answer is that there isn’t one yet. As of mid-2026, Ytech had not published a pricing schedule; the major pre-construction trackers list the building as pre-construction with figures available on request, and a reservation is reported to require a deposit.
That is normal for a project at this stage — but it means any number quoted elsewhere should be treated as preliminary until the developer releases an official price list.
Amenities
Seven Broadway concentrates its shared spaces at three elevations rather than spreading them thin — a logic that fits a 113-home building, where amenity floors don’t need to absorb the crowds of a 400-unit tower.
- Level 8 — a wellness center set directly atop the parking podium, the building’s first amenity floor above the garage.
- Level 49 — a resident lounge positioned just above the highest residence, a quiet floor given over to gathering.
- Level 50 — a rooftop pool and terrace near 594 feet, looking out over the Simpson Park canopy and the skyline beyond.
At ground level, glass storefronts and Enea’s landscaping turn the base into an active, pedestrian-first edge rather than a blank curtain. A fuller amenity-by-amenity program had not been published at the time of approval, so specifics beyond these three floors should be confirmed with the developer as sales materials are released.
Location — South Brickell, Across From the Park
Seven Broadway sits at the quieter, more residential southern end of Brickell, directly across the street from the under-construction Cipriani Residences and directly north of Simpson Park. Simpson Park is the defining neighbor of the address: a 7.8-acre tropical hardwood hammock, one of the last remnants of the Brickell Hammock, the forest that once ran from the Miami River to Coconut Grove.
Set aside in 1913 and later named for the botanist Charles Torrey Simpson, it is a designated Natural Forest Community under the Miami-Dade County code, shelters more than 160 plant species, and is recognized by the Old-Growth Forest Network — a koi pond and shaded coral-rock trails tucked, improbably, into the financial district.
The location is built for moving without a car. Walk Score rates the immediate block an 85 for transit (“Excellent Transit”) and 80 for biking (“Very Bikeable”), with the Brickell Metrorail and Metromover stations a short walk away.
Brickell City Centre is roughly a 15-minute walk; Downtown is about an 8-minute drive; Wynwood and Key Biscayne are around 20 and 15 minutes by car, respectively; Miami International Airport is about 20 minutes outside peak; and Virginia Beach is only 15 minutes, as well as South Beach, roughly 23 minutes out. The Underline, the linear park unspooling beneath the Metrorail, runs a few blocks north.
Here is the honest caveat, stated once: this is not a waterfront building. It sits two blocks inland from Biscayne Bay, so its bay views are distant rather than direct, and SW 15th Road itself carries steady traffic. What the building offers in place of water frontage is a different kind of scarcity — a protected green outlook — which the investment case below takes up directly.
A Saturday in South Brickell
South Brickell doesn’t really stir before mid-morning on a weekend, which is rather the point of living at its edge.
- The first move is usually the shortest one: across the street and into Simpson Park, where the temperature drops a few degrees the moment the canopy closes overhead, and the traffic noise gives way to birdsong and the occasional rustle of something in the undergrowth. The koi pond is small and, reportedly, the visitor center keeps unpredictable hours — but an hour on a bench under the live oaks is the kind of thing no other Brickell tower can put across the street from your lobby.
- Coffee afterward tends to be at Pasión del Cielo, a short walk off, before the day tilts toward the Underline a few blocks north, where the path fills with joggers and cyclists once the sun is properly up.
- By afternoon, the pull is toward Mary Brickell Village and Brickell City Centre — the restaurants, the Saks, the easy people-watching of a neighborhood that runs on finance money and knows it.
- The trade-off of the south end reveals itself by evening: the energy is a ten-minute walk away rather than directly downstairs, which residents tend to file under feature, not flaw. You return to quiet and to a window full of trees.
The Investment Case
The argument for Seven Broadway rests on a single structural fact: the southern view is protected by law. Simpson Park is a designated Natural Forest Community, which means it cannot be cleared or redeveloped — so the green outlook from levels 9 through 50 is, in practical terms, permanent. In Brickell, that is rarer than a bay view.
Towers can and do rise between a building and Biscayne Bay; nothing can rise inside a protected hammock. For a boutique tower of only 113 homes, all facing that canopy, the supply of comparable outlooks is effectively fixed.
Design pedigree supports the thesis. Architect-driven Brickell product has shown it can command a premium at resale: per Axios Miami, a tri-level penthouse at Una Residences sold in late 2022 for $17.75 million, setting a Brickell record of roughly $2,506 per square foot. KPF’s authorship, paired with Ytech’s track record of delivering at scale, places Seven Broadway in that design-led tier rather than the commodity-tower category.
It helps to name the alternatives plainly. Cipriani Residences, directly across the street, is an 80-story, 397-residence tower designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by 1508 London and the Cipriani hospitality brand attached — a larger, branded, services-driven product priced from around $1.7 million.
Una Residences, on the bayfront, is a completed Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill tower that competes on water frontage and architectural drama. Ytech’s own 1428 Brickell features ACPV-branded interiors on the bay.
Against all three, Seven Broadway’s distinction is consistent: a non-branded, boutique, KPF-designed building whose value rests on a permanently protected park view rather than on a hospitality flag or a bay address.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will Seven Broadway be completed?
The project is in pre-construction, with demolition of the original site buildings underway, and a formal construction timeline has not yet been announced by Ytech. Market trackers widely list a target delivery around 2030.
Can residences be rented out, including short-term rentals?
Rental rules depend on the building’s HOA documents, which are finalized closer to closing. Brickell’s depth of executive and corporate tenant demand generally supports strong long-term rental interest, but short-term rental eligibility specifically should be verified with the sales team before contract — it is not something to assume at this stage.
How do the unit types differ?
The building offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom plans plus three full-floor penthouses on the top occupied levels. The practical difference is less about layout than position: since every home faces south over the park, higher floors trade up for longer sightlines over the canopy and skyline, while the penthouses command an entire floor plate to themselves.
Who is designing the interiors?
No interior designer had been publicly confirmed for Seven Broadway as of mid-2026. What is confirmed is the architecture by Kohn Pedersen Fox and the landscape design by Enea. We would rather say that plainly than attach a name that hasn’t been announced; interior credits should firm up as the sales program launches.
Are the views really protected?
Largely, yes — and that is the building’s central selling point. Because Simpson Park is a legally designated nature preserve that cannot be redeveloped, the southern outlook over its tree canopy is structurally insulated from future construction in a way a typical Brickell view is not. No protection is absolute forever, but a designated Natural Forest Community is about as durable a green buffer as exists in the urban core.
Is this a sound investment?
The case turns on scarcity of a specific kind: a small, design-led building with a permanently protected park outlook, in a transit-rich pocket of Brickell, by an architect and developer with credible track records. Those are durable value supports rather than promises of a particular return.
How does it compare with other Brickell towers?
In short: where Cipriani Residences across the street competes on branded hospitality and scale, and bayfront towers compete on water views, Seven Broadway competes on a boutique KPF-designed envelope and a protected forest outlook.

Most towers in Brickell are built to be seen from the bay. Seven Broadway is built to look the other way — inward, downward, onto a few acres of forest that predate the city and will outlast the next cycle of construction around them.
Among luxury condos for sale in Brickell, it is a boutique building making a quiet, specific bet: that in a district defined by who has the better water view, the more durable luxury is a view of something that can never be built over.
