Developer Ytech has been issued a master construction permit for The Residences at 1428 Brickell.

The development is now on track to begin going vertical and make its impact on the Miami skyline.

By obtaining a master permit first, the developer ‘underscores its commitment to delivering the project on schedule without compromise.’ (Other projects are often built with a phased permit).

The developer broke ground on the 70-story tower last year.

It will include 195 luxury condos.

The tower will become the first ever high-rise residential building partially powered using solar energy, with 500 photovoltaic panels integrated into the glass of the building’s west façade.
