Tower Crane Installed At 55-Story Legacy Miami Worldcenter

Will Have 'Singapore Inspired' Infinity Edge Rooftop Pool

In the Park West neighborhood of downtown Miami, crews were installing a tower crane at the construction of the Legacy tower at Miami Worldcenter this morning.

The crane marks the start of vertical construction at Legacy.

A foundation pour took place in June 2022, shortly after the developers acquired an adjacent parcel with plans to integrate it.

Legacy Miami Worldcenter is planned to rise 55 stories, or 691 feet, with a design described as “neo-futuristic.”

It will feature a “Singapore inspired” infinity-edge rooftop pool suspended 500 feet in the air, and a large atrium at the top of the tower.

The $500 million Legacy will also include 310 condos (said to be fully sold out), 219 hotel rooms (managed by Accor under their Morgans Original flag), multiple pools, a spa and fitness area, a shul with a kosher kitchen, restaurants and lounges, and a 10-story $100M Blue Zones health center.

A total of four towers are currently under construction at Worldcenter, including Legacy, Caoba 2, Miami World Tower 1, and The Crosby.

I think this article is forgetting about the two Eleven towers already under construction.

The Eleven towers are not part of Worldcenter.

The Eleven towers are just outside of the Miami World Center Special Area Plan and they are in the Innovation District plan.

Really excited for this beauty to grace our skyline. Park West is going to be one hell of a neighborhood.

Beautiful design and love that infinity pool on top. Most impressed by the spire which will stand out in a sea of squares

It’s a stunning tower. I wish it was located at the empty lot in front of the former FTX Arena. This tower deserves Biscayne Blvd frontage and not be hidden behind the Biscayne Wall.

That lot has historic view corridors and nothing over two stories can be built.

Where does it say that? Hard to believe…

It’s a national historic landmark. It’s not hard to believe at all. Whats hard to believe is it’s current condition; buckling sidewalks, graffiti, shotty parking lot in the back, surface parking lots flanking both sides.

Think of this building as Miami’s Statue of Liberty, and look how we treat it. It’s a disgrace.

So the parking lot next to the Freedom Tower is part of the same parcel as the Freedom Tower itself? That’s a shame. We should def keep the Freedom Tower, but that huge lot north of it should have some really tall and beautiful towers. Perfect location.

What’s the history, a parking lot? Better to make it a park then keep it as a parking lot.

It has been this way forever as very few people are actually born and raised here (including me and my wife) . Not much tradition or history. It is a tourist town.

Its very hard to believe since looking at the property records the lot shows T6-80 meaning 80 stories can be built there as well as the lot directly next to the Freedom Tower. Where did you get the historic view corridor “fact”?

Great that you are doing the research, the work, and doing some thinking.

However, some have decided that emotional ploys to rally the unthinking, uninformed, and unmotivated people provides the poster a narcissistic pick-me-up when they post.

For this, you will see completely uniformed posts loaded with naivete and non-facts.

Where can we donate to save it?

To save what? Surely we aren’t protesting to save a… parking lot, right?

They could build a one floor parking lot with a mountain looking cover that would serve as a unique park full of trees and activities (with hidden parking below). This would complement the Freedom Tower, add more green space, and be a touristic attraction. Who do I have to speak to make this happen?

You will need several hundred million dollars.

That’s like the tax money collected from one unit in the Aston Martin. Please hire innovate planners Miami Dade and city we want more special projects throughout down.

No, not true whatsoever. No historic view corridors in Miami.

We need better builds on the western side of downtown! It’s the next best thing after the bayfront.

Anon

The city announced MetroCenter, an enormous district build-out of 9+ towers, to be created on the west side of downtown, just a few months ago.

Western Front of Downtown
7 months ago

That’s good news! Glad to see plans for the western front of downtown.

Hope the County and developers can add modern high-end glassy builds on the western front of Brickell which is also a part of greater downtown (specifically DoSo—Downtown South).

There is a thriving upscale community and people want to be able to walk more within Brickell.

Yes it’s great news! The final build out will be over 23.7 million square feet, including the new Miami Public Library, over 8,000 apartments, office space, and a new public park for Downtown! All adjacent to the two new 1,000′ Brightline residential towers and Miami Central Station! Very exciting time coming for Downtown!

“Western front”
Good one.
If you can post that 1 million times…comment on your own posts 1 million times, and give you silly ideas your own thumbs up 3 million times, the audience of 500 people might start saying “Western Front” of Brickell or “Western Front” of Downtown.

First of all, it is such a silly notion that no serious person will adopt it, and second of all, you are likely to run out of steam after your parents buy you a new set of Dungeons and Dragons adventures.

So is the NAP ever going to get covered in LED panels ?

Anon

No. Just like they opted for cheap, juvenile murals in the other locations LED panels were shown in the renderings.

Hopefully, RPG actually does something nice with the common areas and interior design so we don’t have Paramount part two. The common areas and ID in Paramount are horrendous!

To The Next Miami: It appears to me that when your feature, as in this case, shares an address with Homestead, the map cites Homestead as its location.

I wish there was a tower like this being built in Brickell.

There are a lot like this in Brickell, but wish there were more. Brickell is used to these, so nobody would be upset and it would be healthy to have more nearby, especially where the crack houses and McDonalds are – it would be the jewel of Miami.

This tower is not built yet so its pointless to compare it with all the luxurious standing towers in Brickell.

Anon

And yet people are – all I did was ask what buildings in Brickell are you comparing it to and they could not provide a single building.

It’s because this building is super unique, will be a jewel for Miami, and there is nothing like this anywhere else in the city.

Can’t wait for that building! But the design hasn’t been released yet so…what are you comparing it to?
