Office floors range in size from 6,500 to 12,000 square feet and feature 12 foot tall ceilings, private terraces and loggias, and arched operable windows. The 100 residences in the floors above the office space will range in size from one- to four-bedrooms with ceilings up to 14 feet tall.

The tower’s facade features a curtain wall with textured beige metal and arched windows. At the base of the tower, the facade elements are made of terra-cotta elements instead of the metal curtain wall. Installation of the facade has surpassed the two-thirds mark. Some additional height will be added with the tower’s crown element, serving as a screen wall for the mechanical equipment at the roof.

Construction Update: Jade Signature
East facade.
Construction has finished at Jade Signature, Fortune International Group's 57-story, 192-unit residential tower in the Sunny Isle Beach neighborhood of Miami. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the tower features a parallelogram footprint that minimizes the skyscraper's shadow footprint on the beach. The orientation also maximizes the sun exposure for the ocean-facing units. The concrete structure provides balconies along the east and west facades that increase floor area in most units by approximately 30 percent. Corner balconies feature the tower's signature sculptural concrete columns, with glass railings that tilt outward to minimize reflection.
