Wind Tower, Residential skyscraper in Downtown Miami, United States
The Wind Tower is a 41-floor residential skyscraper completed in 2008 in downtown Miami, the third tower of the River Front East complex on the north bank of the Miami River. Its curved facade is clad in glass and light-colored concrete, with white-edged balconies and blue-tinted glass railings wrapping the tower in horizontal bands. Floors 2 to 8 hold a residents-only garage, floors 9 and 10 a recreation center, and floors 11 to 41 the apartments, with double-floor lofts on floors 3, 5 and 7.
The building was completed in 2008 during a period of rapid urban development in Miami. It arrived as part of the city's broader expansion of high-rise construction in the downtown area.
The building stands as a symbol of Miami's shift toward a major business center with contemporary design. Its mix of curved and geometric forms reflects how architects approached urban growth in the city.
The building sits near the riverfront in downtown, making it easy to reach on foot from nearby streets and transit stops. Access is straightforward during business hours when the building is most active.
Wind Tower holds 489 apartments, and floors 3, 5 and 7 contain a limited number of double-floor lofts. The garage occupies floors 2 to 8 and is restricted to residents, while the recreation centre on floors 9 and 10 has a pool, a racquetball court and fitness and spa facilities.
