Brazilian-based developer Galwan plans to build a 41-story hotel tower near Miami’s Mary Brickell Village.

The planned 445-room tower would sit at 88 Southwest 10th Street and be split into two Wyndham Hotel Group brands, a 200-room Wyndham Grand and a 245-room Tryp by Wyndham, according to a press release.

The project, which will be designed by Arquitectonica, marks the first in U.S. soil by Galwan. GW Brickell LLC acquired the development in 2015 for $26 million, according to company records found by The Real deal.

The planned hotels will share the lobby and lounge space on the ground floor, an eight-story garage, a pool deck, fitness center and 8,000 square feet of meeting space. The tower will also include a rooftop restaurant and bar, becoming the second hotel in the area with a rooftop bar.

The hotel is slated to open in late 2019.
