Miami is getting a Waldorf Astoria in a new tower being developed at 300 Biscayne Boulevard, which will become the tallest building in Florida.
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami was announced today in a press release.
It will include 140 hotel rooms and 400 condos, Bloomberg is reporting. Total sales of condo residences are expected to top $1 billion.
The tower itself will become the tallest in Miami at 1,049 feet above sea level, and 1,041 feet above ground – the maximum permitted in Miami due to airport flight paths. Previously, developer PMG said that the project would rise between 88 and 94 floors.
Miami’s current tallest building is Panorama Tower in Brickell, which stands 868 feet above ground, and 876 feet above sea level.
PMG, S2 Development, and Greybrook Realty Partners are the developers.
Sieger Suarez is the architect, with the design of the new Waldorf tower said to resemble nine offset glass cubes.
I really like the architecture!
There’s nothing unique about this design, it has been done in other cities.
which other cities? please elaborate
there is one under construction in Hallandale Beach right now.
One finishing up now in Austin, TX. Called The Independent
such an embarrassing comparison to this behemoth.
Look, I’m not here to do research for you.
Google – “cube like designed buildings,” or “cube like designed buildings around the world.”
Fake.
You are just being a troll. If you don’t like it – fine. For the rest of us this is great architecture. It is called an “opinion”, look it up in the dictionary of you don’t know what it means.
“For the rest of us this is great architecture. It is called an “opinion”, look it up in the dictionary of you don’t know what it means.”
I see.. in your world, whatever your “opinion” is about architecture, nobody better have a “factual” view about about the subject. Look up the word – fact, it’s in the dictionary. Maybe then next time you’ll be more mature instead of being so offended when you read what someone else wrote.
Don’t have a Kavanaugh meltdown dude. The fact is that both you are acting like children. Grow the hell up!
“Don’t have a Kavanaugh meltdown dude. The fact is that both you are acting like children. Grow the hell up!”
Awwwww… big boy can go in the store and buy now… makes you feel like an adult, doesn’t it?
The only meltdown that is going to happen is when Kavanaugh gets confirmed and he’ll remember when you leftists tried to destroy someone without any evidence.
Hey USA#1, did GW Bush find those “weapons of mass destruction” yet?
They were inside your a💩💩hole, next to your rectum, together with Benghazi and the fast and furious
Why am I not surprised he found them there.. I mean Trump did prove that you Conservaturds are nothing but a bunch of ass kissers and butt sniffers anyway.
Watch the mouth Libetard
“Libetard”
That’s funny when coming from a person who voted for a president that was laughed at by everyone in the audience at the UN the other day.
They laughed with him not at him!!!
He’s not a person that acts like a president, the last one that acted as a president was Obama and did a lousy job
This clown put the Germans on their place, call the OPEP extorsionist ( and they are), put Venezuela and Cuba in their place, etc
But you liberals can’t deny the anger that he’s delivering everything he offer in his campaign
And I
Don’t belive the darse of all these women on Kavanaugh
He was investigated 6 times and nobody came forward , but now with the false image of being anti abortion, toe women from the left and the activists lawyers will do anything to smears his name, destroy his career and family
And I belive that it’s better to kill the rapist instead of the unborn baby!!!!
🤓
Yeah, believe anything Cheeto man tells you. If he tell you cons that hot boiling water is cold, you’ll believe it. And I’m sorry you were jobless and your life was so miserable the whole time Obama was in office. Poor Obama, all he had to do was figure out how to stop this country’s economy from it’s hemorrhage of 700,000 jobs a month before he took office, and initiate a stimulus bill while Republicons were kicking and scratching, moaning and groaning, and bitching and whining while doing nothing. And I bet you enjoyed those lower gas prices at the pump while Obama was in office, didn’t you? And what has Cheeto man delivered or what depressing economy did he save you from? Has Mexico paid for or built his border wall yet? What Business or corporation that moved overseas has come back to the USA? Oh, I forgot, tariffs are going to fix everything and coal mining is going to make West Virginia and Kentucky “Great Again.” And as far as Kavanaugh is concerned, of course you weasely little cons are going to cry about what’s happening to him. Hell, you cons fought tooth and nail to keep Obama’s… Read more »
Gee!! You really sound resentful….. still denying that Obama’s era was BS!!
He had nothing to do with low gas prices! Even he opposed Fracking that made the price of gas low and did anything possible to avoid USA to be energy independent….
He predicted that the GPD will never go up,and now it’s ( no thanks to him, but the change of all the regulations he imposed)
He hardly corrected the economy in 8 years after spending 10 trillions ( and he caused GWB of non patriotic for increasing the debt)
Who cares about the wall, the Cheeto is doing what’s has to be done … enforcement and respect of the law, if not everyone will come here( you Democrats want that, to get more people in welfare that are your only followers)
Less unemployment, even in Latinos and blacks
Less people in welfare
And many, many more improvements that the Democratic controles media , the hypocrites of Hollywood and the leftist snowflakes from colleges Will never accept !!!!!
♥️💋💋💍🙏🏻👄👁👥👤👦🏿👩🏼🎤👨🏿🏭👩💼👩🏼🎤👨🏿🏭👨🏾🎓👨🏽🌾👨🏿🏭👤✌️✌️🙀😺💩😧😧😬🤭🤭😬😮😦😐😬😬
Hurray for Trump !!! He may not act like a president but has done more for this country than any other , may be because he’s a heartless businessman and not a sleezy Lawyer…..
You can blab all you want but spouting dumbass rightwing talking points are just that “dumbass rightwing talking points.” Even your writing proves you are just another dumbass Con regurgitating what you hear on rightwing radio and brain duping TV shows like Faux News.
Trump is here to do the bidding of his wealthy constituents. Trump tells plain dummies like you how to think and what to say and you, like the rightwing brain dead zombie you are, follows his commands.
Typical Disgruntled democrat vomiting 🤮 insults when faced with reality, facts ( that don’t come from Fox News ) and statistics ( at anyone disposition)
What’s new !
Oh, your feelings are hurt? When you say something stupid like “Obama’s era was BS!!” then you’re saying you economically lived and did financially horrible during the his entire term in office! Cutout the BS. You can’t tell us you didn’t worry about keeping and having a job before Obama became president which definitely improved your lot on life. The economy was too f-ked up for you not to be scared before Obama and the Democrats took over.
When you Republicons get around to presenting facts, let me know.
The Market Closed today at record high
GPD highest in last 20 years
Unemployment down in 2 years
Increased spending private sector
Investors confidence, more jobs
New trade Mexico-USA-Canada
Improving military and defense
Border control enforcement
Tax brake ( crumbles as per Democrats)
Amazon and other major retailers increasing minimum wage with No government mandate
2,000,000 les people on food stamps
Many of this points that are nothing out of the extraordinary are the things Obama never provided and made a lot of people vote for Cheeto guy instead of Hillary and the Russians had nothing to do with my vote
I Didn’t wanted Hillary to continue the lefty spiral down of the administration and the welfare state and if you missed her and how the country would have become with her …. move to Detroit , Chicago or enjoy the smell of poop 💩 on the street and the delinquency of cites like San Francisco and Seattle 😲🙄🤔🤗
Disgruntled Democrat guy should move to Iran
🤗
No one moved to Iran. That list of BS is either a continuation of the upward tract that Obama put this country on, or it’s just meaningless garble that Cons point to that Trump spouts to brag about himself. I’ll give you a for instance. Do you know that Obama was seeking more federal funds from a republican controlled Congress for border security and they were vehemently against it? But now we see this Con above bragging about “Border control enforcement.” I mean, these clowns are funny!
You see, I can’t list all of Obama’s achievements in a forum like this because the list is far too long… and besides, these cons wouldn’t care anyway, they just hate Obama or all democrats for that matter.

Are you kidding me with that reply? You disprove everything with excuses and its pretty lame… bub…
Increased health premiums in health insurance
2013-2016 with Obama care 105%
2017 30%
2018 12%
And you are very smart , I asume
I’m smart enough to know that when a Con man is telling me BS, I recognize it.
Mitt Romney told you that Trump is a “Con man.” Do you think that a fellow Republican like Mitt Romney was lying to you?
And he is not the only Republican to call Trump a con man. And as Tillerson said, “He’s a fucking moron”. I loved Tillerson… sad he was fired. And I loved McCain who could not stand Trump. There are many Republicans who cannot stand him. I wish he would resign because I would fine with Pence.
Keep enjoying yourself in less than 35 days we will see what happens.
Urby in Jersey City and 2167 Lake Shore in Toronto
Forget it Justin, you’re talking to the people that love the design of that Skyrise piece of crap.
I don’t mind the look, but it is not original. In the future, the building will remind people of the teens and 20s of the 21st century. This style will come to symbolize an era. That said, this would be the tallest example if built.
City of Capitals in Moscow
Jersey City, NJ for one
Austin is building a residential building called The Independent Tower, scheduled to be completed in 2019 comprised of several stacking blocks…
Please change this copy cat structure for Miami. It doesn’t bit our skyling
Here are some pictures:
https://jerseycityurby.com/
Horrible they are not coming up with something more iconic and creative. Jersey City, NJ is just one of the cities where this style of stackable blocks has been copied. Singapore, and even Beijing have similar towers.
Join the discussion. Type your comment here. New York City- 56 Leonard Street and another building on 23rd street and fifth avenue….
Um, you can see that some of these people don’t care what you prove to them, because to them, you’re just trying to poo poo on their dream.
In Mumbai India is an almost exact same skyscraper…called “Antilia” (sp?)..It is the home of Mukesh Ambani…India richest man..It is a single family home btw
Although this design is featured already in the US, the Antila in no way is similar to this building.
PMG has done very well for Miami.
They bring quality developments.
Really ugly building, hope it’s not the final design
Stacked up blocks. No date for ground breaking. Will never happen.
This is a great announcement for the CBD. An amazing brand to select the area north of the river.
We are finally getting a second building that will not look like everything else, the first one being 1000 Museum, and yes other cities do have something architectural similar to this project but that doesn’t take away from the fact that they are different than the rest, whether or not it is beautiful will depend on the eye of beholder. I for one think it looks amazing.
Im all for it, just show me the shovels before i get too excited…
Great, the high paying Tod’s wearing Hotel guests can mingle with the flip flop, tank top wearing crowds at Bayside Market Place..
Isn’t Bayside being renovated? Why don’t they turn that place into something decent?
Cause the Miami DNA wants to turn Downtown Miami into Kendall.
More heavy breathing.. Love it.
It reminds me of Urby in Jersey City
Yeah, but who wants to live in Jersey City?
Plenty of people.
Miami skyline is becoming baby Manhattan of South
And now we see why Ultra got the boot. Doubt the timing is coincidental.
You maybe on to something…
Ultra got the boot because Carollo probably wants to run for mayor. He’s trying to suck up to the senior citizen downtown NIMBYs. Why else would he negotiate a deal and then oppose it at the commission meeting? He wanted to make a big show and make Ken Russell look bad at the same time.
Yes, there others in other cities. In NYC they nicknamed it Jenga Tower.

I hope this news kick starts a race among the developers to get to 1000 first.
Some great renderings are available here: http://bit.ly/2QfEt4K
Is there a market for 400 units at an avg of 2.5 million?
Isn’t this the about the 3rd or 4th proposal for that site?
I’m betting another false start.
Like you said about Aston-Martin ?
Please building it !
Practically an architectural gem next to that horrid Vizcayne. More quality developments like this one are needed from here on out in the heart of downtown.
Looks great. Will look better when Miami Skyrise is built (hopefully)
Bunch of ingrates. They complain about “boxy.” So, you placate them by stacking irregular boxes. Still they whine.
VERY PREMATURE TO ANNOUNCE THIS — clearly the market wont absorb this many condos. PMG is a great developer but the sales needed to make this financially feasible, you are looking at this being developed in the next cycle — say 2020-2024 if then. That’s when we can expect the current supply to most get absorbed. Great publicity though.
Who is the owner of the Holiday Inn next door? And what are they planning?
Love this tower.
how far along is the project that shares this lot? where the hotel stands? These 2 plus one biscayne and the existing one thousand museum and the rest will make biscayne Blvd worth so much
This is a big splash. But it stills sounds like wait and see on their part.
it’s the official wait and see
As I wrote over on SSC: these stacked box towers ruin entire skylines and look overall very chaotic (in a very bad way) and ugly. My opinion.
Not only does it look “very chaotic,” it also looks cartoonish.
Are you kidding me? Chaotic and cartoonish is Miami’s Motto
Hookers rejoice!
Can we get some better renderings? I like the brand but it does seem out of place there. I would expect somewhere in Sunny Isles, Bal Harbor, or even Brickell. There’s no beach, no boat dock, and its next to X Miami which is for millennials with scheduled parties, dj’s, and all the music festivals at bayside… that Ryan can sure sell heat in hell. I guess if it works for 1000 it will work here.
Almost all of the greater downtown Miami area “is for millenials”. Get real.
which is why its out of place there. Bring a more millennial focused hotel instead.
Yeah, who cares if those people who rent hotel rooms and buy condo units in this building have to travel for entertainment.
I can bet you sure won’t be renting or living there.
There is a similar one in NYC $4k a foot, Dear future sales center rep, I’m sold!! Reply and I’m buying one… Definitely…
Love this design, this will be a great project to this “new” neighborhood and the urban high street mall at Miami Worldcenter will have the new Marriott so I think this brand is a great addition. However, it’s too tall, let’s please limit those front row buildings to 500 feet.
too late
“However, it’s too tall”
Sorry, but it’s impossible to build a city that’s exactly like your “just right life.”
Won’t the skyrise miami block its view coming from east side? Its a beautiful building thou
This will get built long before Skyrise
The projects are ~1500ft apart.
Skyrise probably won’t get built. It’s developer is depending heavily on the EB-5 program for investment money to build his dream structure. Some Republicans are aiming to shoot the program down, but we’ll see what happens to it on Sept 30th.
Sieger Suarez, couldn’t you have designed something better?
It’s the same people who designed Liquid Lofts as if it was a legit project, so no.
Liquid Lofts is sweet. I hope it gets built.
I think the 3 year old son of the architect played with blocks and this how he got the inspiration, just like Danish Bjarke Ingels did in the Motherland of Lego’s…
