If it seems like buildings in Miami are getting taller, that’s because they are. The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Miami, a skyscraper designed to resemble a stack of offset blocks, will tower above its downtown neighbors once it’s completed in 2028. At 100 stories and 1,049 feet, the Waldorf Astoria will be Miami’s tallest building and the city’s first “supertall” skyscraper. The designation applies to buildings over 984 feet. But the Waldorf Astoria won’t be Miami’s only supertall for long. It’s one of several tall buildings planned for Miami in the coming years. This parade of coming supertalls and near-supertalls seems to reflect the demand for “aspirational” luxury real estate in Miami, said Ryan Shear, a managing partner at PMG, the developer behind the Waldorf Astoria. And some developers say these towers signal that Miami is becoming a truly global city. But building tall comes with unique challenges in engineering and urban planning, experts say. 🔗: Read more at the link in our bio ✍️: Catherine Odom 🎥: Pierre Taylor #miami #skyline #development #news
