The Copy and Paste Stacked Box "design" looks like something a preschooler would come up with during playtime. Meanwhile, just a few blocks to the south, we have the stunning sail design of the Aston Martin Residences which, is many times more deserving of a design to have been Miami's first Supertall. Unfortunately it's "only" 817 feet tall (249 meters). And a few miles to the north in Sunny Isles Beach, nearly Any skyscraper along the beach there can blow this thing out of the water (design-wise), from Muse, Aqualina Condo towers, Jade Ocean, Jade Beach, Porsche Design Tower, etc, etc are All many times better designs than the Waldorf Miami. It's actually surprising that someone over at Waldorf gave the go ahead for this crap "design". I'm one (and many do indeed agree with me) that, beauty is only subjective to a point. This is way past that point.

It absolutely murders me, when I read these inane comments, about hurricanes blowing buildings over. People actually believe this crap. I especially love the comments about how Miami will be under water by 2025, or 2030, because of melting ice thousands of miles away. Miami is the city that's always talked about, when there are literally countless cities on this planet, that are sea level coastal. It's as if these clowns WANT Miami to turn into Atlantis. Meanwhile, nobody ever talks about Cuba, Hispaniola, the Lesser/Greater Antilles, Sri Lanka, The Maldives, Mauritius, and literally thousands of low-lying islands, and peninsulas.

Comcast technology Center in Philadelphia rooftop floor height is only about 930 feet tall. The tower in Miami will have a top floor that will reach over 1000 feet in height, meaning people on the top floor would be looking down to the roof top of Comcast technology center because most of its height is dependent on a spire similar to Wilshire Grand Center in LA where people here in CA don’t see it as the true tallest. That would be Salesforce Tower in San Francisco followed by the US Bank building. Most people don’t like to include spires. I get it, it’s “architectural” but why?

That's a valid point. Not sure if Miami has precautions in place

[@evilgod5666]

In the far future when everythings underwater, at least this will be a nice lighthouse replacement. :D

[@urbaninternational]

True!!

[@jbar_85]

I hope it continues to be built even if the economy collapses!

[@markgold5408]

Problem is, Miami will be under water soon

[@Graphics_Card]

If they don’t do anything about it

[@urbaninternational]

Ever heard of floating skyscrapers?

[@Graphics_Card]

@@urbaninternational I’ve heard of floating cities, but I don’t think that’s practical

[@urbaninternational]

@@Graphics_Card Haha I know I'm joking. Sea levels rising will be detrimental to this

So will this be the building that never gets finished in gta 6

Oooof good question

I actually don't know which one you're talking about i don't play GTA but my brother does

*Sea Level Rise...*

True...

[@Kaaaaammmm]

Not to bright to spend this amount of money on a buildingbin Miami, when the city cannot stop the city from flooding.

The JENGA Building!

[@charlesbartlett2569]

Audacious but could be bad timing for the condo market. Similar rotating design like Revolución in Panama City but very blocky. FAA wasn’t approving anything over 1,000 ft when I was living at Brickell. What changed? $? Does anyone remember what happened to the Miami condo market in 2008? Can you imagine going up 10 floors of parking garage? Boom or bust?

[@chuck-jy7mz]

I thought Miami is going to be under water soon ?

[@urbaninternational]

Good point, but maybe a few years down the line?

[@67000bull]

stacking quips becoming like copy & paste architects in the USA and some other countries, I found it not only shame on the engineering but on the city who approve it as well .

[@lasvegasconventionscentral9541]

Hurricane 🌀 prove?

[@potatojoe1070]

To be honest, as a Miami resident I wish the first super hi-rise in Miami had a more blended in design. This is too out of nowhere, and as the tallest building in the city, it really looks like it belongs somewhere else. If it wasn't the tallest building here by a margin, it would be fine, but that's just my opinion

[@urbaninternational]

That's fair. It definitely sticks out in the skyline, and the height draws more attention to it

[@Wheretherivermeets]

This is utterly foolish, By 2050 10% of Miami will be underwater. By the time this building's lifespan would be over, it will be 4' underwater.

[@urbaninternational]

Maybe they should use paddleboards to get to their condos

[@Jorr235]

Mother Nature will huff and puff and blow that skyscraper down.

[@urbaninternational]

She can sure try

[@akolyt]

I hope they install led lights on the window panels
