Located along the Intracoastal Waterway, One Flagler pairs tropical modernism with high-performance design through a striking trellis-like precast concrete exoskeleton. The facade — composed of pre-glazed, white architectural precast panels with integrated sunshades — delivers both sculptural impact and climate resilience, addressing Florida’s intense sun, humidity, and coastal conditions while accelerating construction timelines.
The article explores how the project team used design-assist collaboration and innovative precast detailing to achieve seamless aesthetics, hidden joints, and enhanced energy efficiency. From early color sampling and custom burnished finishes to puzzle-piece panel installation and night-shift erection, the story offers a deep dive into how precast concrete enabled speed, precision, and durability in a fully leased, LEED Gold–certified office tower completed in 2025.
