Icon Brickell North and South Towers

The Icon Brickell South Tower is adjacent to its twin, the Icon Brickell North Tower. They are the same height and share the same amount of floors. The North Tower is the same height as the South Tower, but it is not shaped the same.

Viceroy Tower

The Viceroy Tower, sometimes called The Viceroy Hotel, or simply The Viceroy, is the third building in the Icon Brickell Complex. Like the Icon Brickell North Tower and the Icon Brickell South Tower, the Viceroy was designed by Arquitectonica. Unlike the twin towers it shares the site with, the Viceroy is shorter and, instead of simply condominiums, it also includes a hotel.
