One Bayfront Plaza

One Bayfront Plaza is a skyscraper with 80 floors of curved glass walls rising from a triangular base in Miami's downtown business district. The building combines office space, retail areas, residences, and a hotel within a single structure.

The international architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox designed this building as part of Miami's vertical growth in the early 21st century. The construction had to follow height regulations due to the nearby airport, which shaped how the project could develop.

The building houses retail shops, residences, and a hotel, drawing people who work, shop, and stay in this central location. This mix shows how a single structure serves multiple purposes in the daily rhythm of the city.

The building connects directly to a Metromover transit station across Biscayne Boulevard, providing easy access to Miami's public transportation system. Visitors can explore the downtown area easily by using this transit connection to move around the city.

The building was designed with strict Federal Aviation Administration height limits in mind due to Miami International Airport's proximity, which shaped its overall form. This constraint led designers to create the distinctive triangular base as a way to maximize space within the allowed height.
