Santander has officially started construction on 1401 Brickell by Santander, a 50-story mixed-use tower set to rise on Brickell Avenue and serve as the bank’s Miami hub. The project is slated to span roughly 1.6 million square feet and is planned to house Santander Private Banking alongside offices for third-party tenants. Bank materials say the tower will bring street-level retail and dining, wellness-focused amenities and a sky-terrace restaurant looking out over Brickell.
