Construction at Miami World Tower has reached the 50th floor, a new photo by Phillip Pessar shows.
That means that top off is near, with a total of 53 floors planned at the apartment tower.
The top off height is planned at 579 feet above ground, or 590 feet above sea level.
There’s only one existing rental apartment tower in Miami that is taller (Brickell’s Panorama Tower), but multiple others are under construction or about to break ground that will be taller (including Chetrit’s 648-foot Miami River tower in Brickell, and Mast Capital’s two rental buildings at 1420 S. Miami Ave, at 604 feet and 691 feet).
Miami World Tower’s balconies are designed to appear as wave crests approaching the shore, the developer said in a 2020 submission to the city. The overall effect is that of a building in motion, the developer added.
Miami World Tower 1 is planned to include:
- 565 apartments
- 3,000 square feet of full service restaurant
- 401 parking spaces on levels
To the west, another tower is likely on land that is currently used as a staging area.
Nichols is the architect.
