The Wells Fargo Center, located within Miami’s zip code area of 33131,  is the dominant tower of the mixed use development complex that shares one city block in downtown Miami. This 1,553,200 square-foot, 47-story office building in downtown Miami includes a ballroom, meeting space, retail shops, a restaurant, and a 1,400-car garage. Its neighbor is the 300-room JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, which stands as a 42-story structure connected to the Wells Fargo Center. The two adjacent buildings were designed as complimentary “bookends” sharing functional and aesthetic characteristics.

The design of the Wells Fargo Center had to meet several challenges, including the creation of over 740,000 square feet of LEED® certified office environment for over 10,000 people. The project also needed to accommodate over 1,100 vehicles on 13 floors of structured parking. The 13-foot, 6-inch column-free tenant floors begin above the parking podium, creating an aesthetically seamless, soaring glass tower that reaches 670 feet into the sky.

The development is owned by MetLife, one of the premiere office building owners in the country. Through its Real Estate Investments department, MetLife oversees a well diversified real estate investment portfolio of approximately $60 billion, which is one of the largest in the U.S. and consists of real estate equities, commercial mortgages and agricultural mortgages.
