Waldorf Astoria Miami, construction skyscraper in Miami
This downtown Miami skyscraper reaches over 1,050 feet and will be Florida's tallest building when construction finishes in 2028. The design stacks offset glass blocks that create a modern look, with each segment holding about ten floors and forming a clearly defined vertical structure.
Construction began in late 2022 on a site previously planned for the never-completed Empire World Towers project. The complex secured over 600 million dollars in funding, the largest amount ever granted for a residential project in South Florida.
The tower takes its name from the famous New York hotel and represents luxury and high-end service worldwide. In Miami, it marks a new era of upscale living that attracts wealthy buyers from many countries and reinforces the city's international character.
The building stands on Biscayne Boulevard near Bayfront Park in the city center, surrounded by offices and shops. The construction site is visible from outside, with cranes and building work continuing until final completion in a few years.
The largest penthouse south of New York City sits in this tower and covers over 30,000 square feet across multiple levels. The foundation pour lasted 36 hours without interruption, an exceptional engineering feat for high-rise projects of this scale.
