British firm Foster + Partners has submitted new plans to Miami city authorities for what—if approved—will be the tallest building south of Manhattan along the East Coast. Officially known as “The Towers” (really?) the project sees two rectilinear structures rising up from the Brickell waterfront, with the tallest of the pair reaching 1,049 feet. In compliance with density constrictions from the City of Miami’s Miami 21 zoning code, the two towers will hold 660 living units—a 16 percent decrease on the initially proposed 787. The structures’ heights, however, have not been an issue with Federal Aviation Administration: The organization has already granted the project approval.

At the building’s base, car parking areas have been divided in two and are encased by retail areas and more living units. This layout diverges from the standard singular “monolithic” car parking podium typical to Miami (car garages are a big deal in the city). According to the firm, this “frees up space at the ground level” and “creates an engaging public realm.” Furthermore, The Towers’ relationship to the site at street level sees restaurants, cafes, and art gallery spaces laid out inside a tropical garden. 56,800 square feet of the 2.5-acre scheme will be publicly accessible.
