Town Center One is a high-rise building located in Dadeland, an urban area in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida. Constructed from 2007 to 2009, it contains class A [2] [7] commercial office space [8] and was built near the end of the United States housing bubble of the 2000s. The building reaches a height of about 295 feet (90 m), [4] making it one of the taller buildings in Dadeland. The building stands out for its dark green [4] glass curtain wall façade. This was the result of a design change; as the name implies, the building was intended to be the first of several buildings in a mixed-use development. [9] Due to poor market conditions and a regional overbuilding of office space, the building sat largely vacant until several years after completion. [8] In 2011, the majority of units went into foreclosure when a construction loan could not be repaid, [10] which led to the restructuring of the building's finances in 2012 by its anchor tenant, BMI Companies.

United States housing bubble economic bubble

The United States housing bubble was a real estate bubble affecting over half of the U.S. states. Housing prices peaked in early 2006, started to decline in 2006 and 2007, and reached new lows in 2012. On December 30, 2008, the Case–Shiller home price index reported its largest price drop in its history. The credit crisis resulting from the bursting of the housing bubble is an important cause of the 2007–2009 recession in the United States.

Curtain wall (architecture) outer non-structural walls of a building

A curtain wall system is an outer covering of a building in which the outer walls are non-structural, utilized to keep the weather out and the occupants in. Since the curtain wall is non-structural, it can be made of lightweight materials, thereby reducing construction costs. When glass is used as the curtain wall, an advantage is that natural light can penetrate deeper within the building. The curtain wall façade does not carry any structural load from the building other than its own dead load weight. The wall transfers lateral wind loads that are incident upon it to the main building structure through connections at floors or columns of the building. A curtain wall is designed to resist air and water infiltration, absorb sway induced by wind and seismic forces acting on the building, withstand wind loads, and support its own dead load weight forces.

Downtown Dadeland

Downtown Dadeland is an urban residential and retail development in Dadeland, Kendall, Florida, USA. Dadeland is an edge city in Kendall, which is part of unincorporated Miami-Dade County. Downtown Dadeland was completed in 2005, during a South Florida real estate boom. Notably, the 7.5-acre (3.0-hectare) development contains 15 acres of parking on two underground levels, unprecedented in South Florida, which averages under 10 feet (3.0 m) of elevation AMSL. Since then, some other projects have pursued more than one sub-grade level, including Brickell City Centre in the Brickell district of Downtown Miami. Underground development in the Miami area is complicated and expensive, due to the high water table. A project on Fort Lauderdale beach planned three levels of underground parking, but revised plans down to a single level mechanical parking garage. The mixed-use development is adjacent to Dadeland South station, the southern terminus of the Metrorail system, which saw significant ridership increases in the 21st century after many transit-oriented developments such as Dadeland were completed. Underground parking, including -1.5 and greater depths, began to become more common in the 2010s, pressured by building codes, aesthetics, and economics.
