Sabadell Financial Center, Financial skyscraper in Brickell District, Miami, United States
Sabadell Financial Center is a 430-foot tall office tower with 31 stories standing at the intersection of Brickell Avenue and Southeast 12th Street in downtown Miami. Ground-level retail and cafes serve visitors and workers, while upper floors contain office spaces equipped with conference facilities and contemporary amenities.
The structure was built between 1998 and 2000 under the name Mellon Financial Center, then became Barclays Financial Center before taking its current name. These name changes track the building's shifting ownership by different financial institutions over time.
The tower's successive names — Mellon, then Barclays, now Sabadell — trace the foreign banks that took space on Brickell Avenue as Miami became a banking gateway to Latin America. The ground floor holds retail rather than banking halls, so the financial life of the building happens on the office floors above.
The tower stands on Brickell Avenue at Southeast 12th Street, in the northern part of the Brickell Financial District. The ground floor is given over to retail, while the 31 upper floors are offices, so there is little for a visitor to enter beyond the street-level shops. The crossing outside is one of the lowest points in Brickell, at about 0 feet above sea level, and floods during king tides and storm surges.
The corner of Brickell Avenue and Southeast 12th Street rounds to 0 feet (0 m) above sea level, an exceptionally low spot in Brickell. During king tides, storm surges or other exceptionally high tides, the intersection is prone to tidal flooding.
