Introducing the “Sky Collection” at Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami

Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami will rise 1,049 feet tall making it Miami’s tallest and its first supertall skyscraper. The tower itself offers 100 floors of luxury residences and amenities expanding over 1.5 million square feet vertically.

With nine offset, stacked glass cubes rising over Miami, this tower will be like no other residential project in Miami or in the world. Sieger Suarez, responsible for the Burj Al Arab tower in Dubai, and Carlos Ott, responsible for Echo Brickell, have partnered on the design of this remarkable tower.

Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami will feature 361 condo units and 205 hotel rooms. The condo residences will range from 1 to 4 bedrooms (located in cubes 4 through 7), not including the “Sky Collection” or the penthouses.

Until today, the developer of Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami had only released cubes 4 through 7. In a two-part VIP Broker event this afternoon, Cube 8, known as the “Sky Collection”, was unveiled.

The sky collection consists of four units per floor totaling 40 units altogether (floors 80-89), ranging from 2 to 4 bedroom floor plans. The 2 and 3 bedroom units will be west-facing while the 4 bedroom units will be east-facing. The residences will feature 2,465 to 2,575 total square feet including terraces. Sky residences will feature 12-foot ceilings and will have the same finishes as the penthouse residences. Sky collection pricing range from $5 to $9.2 million.

For buyers requiring more living space, Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami will have five, full-floor penthouses, all located in Cube 9 of the supertall tower. Each floor will total 13,155 square feet, including east and west terraces, and feature 14-foot-high ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The west terraces will include a summer kitchen and plunge pool. Two of the five penthouses have already sold, and the remaining three are asking $40 million.
