Revealed: Miami World Towers 2 & 3 Planned At 68 Stories Each

Miami World Tower 1 just topped off this summer. Now, its developer is planning three additional towers.

The newly revealed towers include:

  • Miami World Tower 2a – 25 stories, 279 feet above ground, 293 feet above sea level
  • Miami World Tower 2b – 68 stories, 694 feet above ground, 709 feet above sea level (the maximum permitted by the FAA in the area)
  • Miami World Tower 3 – 68 stories, 694 feet above ground, 709 feet above sea level (the maximum permitted by the FAA in the area)

Combined, towers 2a, 2b, and 3 will include:

  • 2,043 multifamily residential units
  • Amenities on levels 14, and 65 and 66 of the taller towers, including rooftop pools
  • 2,944 square feet commercial space
  • 807 parking spaces on level 2-13, in a garage lined with residential units

The topped-off Miami World Tower 1 is being built with 557 units in a 53-story building. The total unit count when combined with the newly added towers is 2,600.

Towers 2a and 2b are planned with diagrid aluminum cladded columns. A material palette submitted with the plans shows the design concept for the exterior steel cladding structure is inspired by the Hines office tower planned at Worldcenter.

Tower 3 is similar in design to Tower 1, but taller.

Nichols is the architect.

Lalezarian is the developer.

A hearing before Miami’s Urban Development Review Board is scheduled for September 20.

With the latest addition, Miami Wordcenter now has over 10,000 units planned, under construction, or completed within its borders, and thousands more planned just outside.

Now this is the variety weve been looking for in basic infill towers. Not everything has to be paramount or Waldorf iconic but can certainly still look stunning and stand out from the crowd.

I’m amazed by the design, especially right next to a highway. Let’s replicate this along the Miami River, the more beautiful buildings, the better!

This isn’t next to a highway – the building to the north of it will be though – isn’t that clear on the map?

I don’t believe a single building makes a significant difference. People in Salty Park West were criticizing Nexus on the Miami River for its proximity to a highway in the Downtown/Brickell area, but it’s just as close to a highway, and it’s walkable to Brickell. These commenters seem hypocritical. What I’m trying to convey is that if we can witness this level of marketing, quality, and scale near the highway in Park West, we can certainly expect to see it in Brickell and along the river, where living is more desirable.

Because if there isn’t a Barnes & Noble there is no possible way for Brickell residents to “buy it now” and have books delivered to their home.

DESPERATELY! Brickell needs a Barnes & Noble like the flower needs the rain.

The population has been increasing for the last 30 years, and the quality of life has been increasing for at least the last 30 years, which is proof that the the only thing holding Brickell back is the lack of a Barnes & Noble…oh….wait….ummm…..

Well….Brickell DOES need a good bookstore. DESPARATELY!
And a great typewriter repair shop. DESPARATELY!

The current tower looks better than the renderings, which never happens.
The middle towers are really beautiful and the detailing for all of them seem to be very nice.
And the middle tower is noted as 60′ away from both towers. Which is better than most towers that are across the street from one another.
Really Nicely done all around. Can’t wait to see it built.

Dear Boomer, the Metro Mover is excellent, and we are making substantial investments in its improvement. It offers a better alternative to commuting to work when you’re traveling between Downtown and Brickell. The growing appeal of Brickell is evident as more people are choosing to reside there. You can easily walk to work or anywhere else without the need for a train or car. This convenience is a significant reason why people enjoy living in Brickell, even though it comes with a higher cost. If that’s not within your budget, living in Downtown or another location with efficient transportation options is a preferable choice for easy mobility.

Get off your high horse Sven. You were ranting and raving about the river walk in another post and all the work that’s been done over the past twenty years 🙄 Now you’re trying to say the rest of the city is well designed. Have you ever left Miami? The roads shoot off in random directions, have five different names, miss your exit or take the wrong one and you have to go five miles out of your way to get back on track. GPS even has trouble figuring out where to go.

It’s great that you are a proud Miamian but people would respect your ideas more if you didn’t act like this was a perfect city. It also sounds like you’re an old man that thinks those younger than you and of a different opinion are idiots. Which is another problem all together.
