Scope of Work

Scope: Full Building Automation System (BAS) installation for a mixed-use, high-rise development including hotel, residential, retail, office, and parking structures.
Completion Time: Delivered ahead of schedule and in service since 2016
Challenges: Ground-up BAS design, multi-trade coordination, strict system specifications, and integration across diverse building types

The project encompassed a wide range of building types and infrastructure elements, requiring seamless integration and strict compliance with design specifications.

  • Installed a gas detection system in the parking garage to alert for chemical hazards
  • Delivered the project ahead of schedule while meeting all design specifications
  • Provided service and maintenance since the project’s opening in 2016

Results & Benefits

  • Reduced Energy Costs: BAS reduced consumption below original estimates
  • Long-Term Reliability: System ensures smooth operations of critical areas like data centers
  • Ongoing Partnership: Roth Southeast remains engaged since project launch, providing service and support to this day

Mission Success

The successful installation of a full-scale BAS at Brickell City Centre demonstrates Roth Southeast’s ability to deliver highly technical, multi-system integrations under complex construction timelines. Despite the scale and diversity of the project, spanning retail, hospitality, residential, office, and public infrastructure, our team delivered a fully operational system ahead of schedule.

By maintaining our role as a trusted service partner since opening in 2016, we’ve ensured long-term operational efficiency, reduced energy costs, and continued support for one of Miami’s most iconic developments.
