The Villa Magna Condominium Complex was an urban development that was planned to rise in Brickell, downtown Miami, Florida. It was approved in 2006 by the city council and the Federal Aviation Administration and construction was slated to begin in April 2007. The ending date was approximated to be late 2008 or early 2009; however, the housing crisis of the late 2000s halted the project.

The complex was to feature two twin towers, Villa Magna Condominiums I and Villa Magna Condominiums II. Both were to be 574 feet (175 m) tall with 57 floors. The complex was to be connected by the Villa Magna Plaza at the base of both towers. It was to be located at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive near Southeast 12th Street in Miami's Brickell neighborhood. The buildings were planned be used entirely for residential purposes, with the complex containing 780 condominium units. However, in 2007 the developers changed the plans to include more hotel, retail, and commercial space in realization of the quickly declining housing market at the time. The complex was then approved under a major use special permit.[1]

In 2011, the project plans were rumored to have been revived.[2]

In 2015, the height of the project was approved up to 995 feet (303 m).[3]
