Vertical Construction Expected Q1 For Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences

The Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences’ vertical structure is expected to emerge in the first quarter of 2024, according to an update posted last week on Instagram by a member of the project’s in-house sales team.

Deep soil mixing at the project’s Central Zone has been completed, the update said.

Completion of deep soil mixing will allow for piling work to begin, which is scheduled for early August.

Also now installed is underground electrical infrastructure for temporary construction power, with above ground FPL equipment delivered.

The 100-story Waldorf Astoria is expected to become Miami’s first supertall tower, at 100 stories and 1,049 feet.

Strictest building code in the country

Conical high-rise buildings are less likely to sway in the wind, however, this staggered shape will allow for the Tapering Effect, which reduces the surface of the building most affected by the wind, the top. This type of design is intentionally used for skyscrapers because they withstand wind resistance better.

Oh look, another armchair engineer. So why does Chicago have so many nice tapering buildings and so few stacked boxes? The Sears Tower and John Hancock Center were specifically designed as tapering, and with articulation and setbacks so as to withstand wind.

Chicago? Is there anyone left ?

Yes no doubt and cheaper to construct and create a rigid body diagram without the staggering modulation, but that’s been done and this would represent the second of it kind following Gehry’s Toronto tower. The developers knows that design matters in Miami’s market, and this design stands out as the Sears Tower and Hancock Tower did in Chicago in the 70’s and 80’s. And BTW I am a structural engineer that have designed multiple 300 meter towers.

It was already strict before Andrew, and implemented Statewide after. It not being enforced was the issue, however.

Will be cool to see it. But I bet the top half of the building is dark 51 weeks of the year, as the people who will buy it will do so for a trophy NYE and Art Basel property. Nothing wrong with that as it is their right, but at night, it would be cool if it lit up the sky and I’m afraid it won’t. What’s the point of a supertall if it’s dark all the time? Also, even if it is built to hurricane standards, I think a lot of buyers may be put off by the height. There have been a number of articles in the NYT and WSJ about supertalls in NYC with problems. Hope this isn’t one of them.

Can you chill with your assumptions? You know nothing about the buyers in this building.

No official neighborhood called “West Brickell” exists, but if it becomes popular for the area west of I-95, that’s fine. People have mentioned names like “Brickell West” or “West Brickell,” while some refer to it as “East Little Havana” and “Riverside.” It’s an area with dynamic diversity and great potential. East of I-95 is Brickell.

Miami Avenue acts as the clear marker between the East and West areas of Brickell, with big signs at the Brickell City Centre showing this. This helps ensure both sides get fair treatment and balanced development. However, in reality, there’s no need for any division since Brickell is a small neighborhood on the east side of I-95, and it’s easy to get around without these distinctions. Using SW 2nd as the divide creates an unnecessary separation, cutting off a small block from the rest of Brickell, even though it naturally belongs with the rest. And to the west, I-95 forms an obvious and impassable barrier. So, considering Miami Avenue as the guiding point keeps everything connected and helps people find their way around.

East of I95 = Brickell
