The complex consists of three skyscrapers and the Icon Brickell Plaza, connecting the towers at their base. The first two towers, the Icon Brickell North Tower and South Tower, are twin buildings.The third phase of the complex is the Viceroy Tower (Viceroy Hotel, a "condo-hotel"), which is 500 feet (150 m) tall with 50 floors. In total there are 1,800 units (1,648 residential, 162 hotel). Arriving guests are greeted by a spectacular two story entrance, lined with 100 columns throughout the driveway, some with lit “eyes” that glow to guide your way and “watch over each arriving guest.” The gigantic columns, estimated at 5 million dollars, are modeled to resemble Moai Statues of Easter Island heads that embrace your journey into Starck’s world of playful spirit.
