Brickell City Centre Sales Office Lights Up at Night

A month ago, Swire started putting a white drape over the old Northern Trust building. We knew that they were planning on using the building as a sales office for Brickell City Centre, but did not know what the white drape was for.

It turns out the white drape will be used for interactive sales for selling residential units at Brickell City Centre. The units of Brickell City Centre they are selling are part of Condo West and Condo North.

Last night was the first time the sales center has been lit with the white drape and it looks fantastic among the other buildings of Brickell Avenue.

The building is located at 700 Brickell Ave. and will be demolished as part of the phase two construction of Brickell City Centre and One Brickell City Centre.

Old Northern Trust Building which was bought by Swire Properties

For the past two weeks workers have been changing the exterior of the old Northern Trust building on 701 Brickell Ave.

The building was owned by Northern Trust until it was bought by Swire Properties for $64.1 million in July, 2013. Northern Trust moved their offices next door to 600 Brickell.

Swire has plans to turn the land into an 80 story mixed used building to be called One Brickell City Centre. This will be part of the second phase of construction for Swire, which is currently working on the first phase of Brickell City Centre and is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

Until the second phase of construction begins, Swire is using the old Northern Trust building as their sales offices with a sales center located on the ground floor of the building.

As for what Swire is using the white fabric over the building for? Only time will tell.
