Elevating Miami’s Skyline – Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Tower Cranes Set to Soar Higher

Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami
Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami

The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences in Downtown Miami, a remarkable 100-story skyscraper, is reaching new heights—literally and figuratively. On October 25, 2024, permits were filed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to raise the heights of two Maxim cranes currently stationed on-site. Located at 300 Biscayne Boulevard (or alternatively 249 Northeast 3rd Street), the building project initially received FAA approval for crane heights at 955 feet above ground level (966 feet above sea level). However, new permits now seek approval to extend these cranes to 1,214 and 1,225 feet (1,238 and 1,249 feet above sea level), enabling the construction team to push upward toward the tower’s ultimate planned height of 1,049 feet.

A unique collaboration of industry leaders has come together for this iconic project. PMG, Greybrook, Mohari Hospitality, S2 Development, and Hilton are the powerhouse developers behind the Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences, combining their expertise to deliver an unparalleled luxury experience in Downtown Miami. This ambitious project will ultimately feature 387 luxury residences and 205 hotel rooms, merging high-end living with the elegance and hospitality for which Waldorf Astoria is known.

Designed by the acclaimed Sieger Suarez Architects and renowned architect Carlos Ott, the building’s structure is defined by nine stacked and offset glass cubes. These cubes create a distinct visual profile that promises to redefine Miami’s skyline. General contractor John Moriarty & Associates is overseeing construction, while Capform Inc. is handling the turnkey concrete work. CHM Structural Engineers is serving as the structural engineer, ensuring that this monumental tower remains safe and resilient.

According to Christian Tupper, Vice President of Sales at PMG, the building’s structural shell has already made significant progress, reaching around 7 to 8 stories as of his LinkedIn update two weeks ago. This milestone brings the structure close to completing the first of its nine unique cubes, signifying a major step in the project’s upward journey. With the approval of the additional crane height, the construction team can continue their ascent, bringing the Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences ever closer to its final form.

A project of this scale requires substantial financial support, and the Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences has secured a record-breaking $668 million construction loan to fuel its progress. This financing underscores the importance of the development within Miami’s rapidly evolving real estate landscape. Upon its projected completion in 2028, the Waldorf Astoria will stand as Florida’s tallest building and the tallest residential structure south of New York, symbolizing a new era of architectural innovation and luxury living in Miami.

As construction progresses and additional permits are approved, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences will continue to capture the attention of Miami residents and architecture enthusiasts worldwide. This monumental project is not only redefining the Miami skyline but also setting new standards for luxury and mixed-use developments in South Florida.

Miami World Tower 1 has reached a significant milestone, officially receiving its initial Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) from Coastal Construction. This TCO, identified as TCO #1, signals that the 56-story residential tower has met the preliminary standards to begin occupancy, paving the way for residents to soon move into one of Miami’s newest luxury developments.

Rising 56 stories above the vibrant Miami skyline, Miami World Tower 1 brings a blend of luxury living and lifestyle amenities to the Miami Worldcenter. The tower includes 565 apartment units, providing high-end residences with sweeping views and sophisticated design. Alongside residential offerings, the building features a 3,000-square-foot full-service restaurant and provides 401 parking spaces, offering convenience for residents and visitors alike.

Construction at the Miami World Tower site kicked off in late 2021, with the first crane installation in April 2022. By June 2022, the foundation was poured, and the tower’s skeleton began to rise, marking steady progress through the development timeline. The receipt of the initial TCO is the latest accomplishment, signifying that essential building systems are operational and meet safety standards required to welcome occupants.

Behind this ambitious project is developer Lalezarian, who has long-term plans for the Miami World Tower site. In addition to Tower 1, Lalezarian has filed plans to develop three additional towers, potentially adding 2,043 multifamily residential units to the area. This multi-tower vision aligns with the larger objectives of the Miami Worldcenter development, which aims to transform downtown Miami into a dynamic, mixed-use destination featuring residential, commercial, and entertainment spaces.

Miami World Tower 1 is just one component of the expansive Miami Worldcenter project, a master-planned development reshaping the city’s urban core. This transformative project aims to create a walkable, pedestrian-friendly environment enriched by art, culture, and green spaces. The additional towers proposed by Lalezarian will only further contribute to the vibrancy and allure of Miami Worldcenter, supporting its role as a landmark destination in downtown Miami.

With its initial TCO in hand, Miami World Tower 1 stands ready to welcome its first residents. This achievement underscores the commitment of Coastal Construction and Lalezarian to bringing a vision of modern, urban living to life in the heart of Miami. As Miami Worldcenter continues to grow, the addition of Miami World Tower 1 sets the stage for an exciting chapter in the city’s skyline and urban lifestyle.

Santander Bank’s affiliate has taken a significant step forward with plans for its new development on Brickell Avenue. A recently finalized agreement with Miami-Dade County, dated October 11th, grants the bank the necessary utilities to power its ambitious tower project, dubbed Santander Tower. This high-rise is set to become a major addition to the Miami skyline, bringing a mixed-use tower with ample amenities and office spaces to the heart of Brickell.

According to documents, Santander Tower is designed as a high-rise complex that will stand 41 stories tall and reach a height of 765 feet. It will be designed by acclaimed architectural firms Handel Architects and Bernardi & Peschard Arquitectura, merging innovative design with functionality to create a seamless addition to Brickell’s ever-growing skyline.

Here’s what the building is set to include:

  • Office Space: A substantial 635,000 square feet of premium office space.
  • Retail: 60,000 square feet dedicated to retail establishments, making the tower a central shopping hub.

    Santander Tower is expected to offer a blend of work, retail, dining, and wellness spaces, catering to the needs of both local professionals and residents.

    New 600-Unit Apartment Development Planned at Pullman Miami Airport Hotel Site

    Pullman Airport New Development in Miami
    Pullman Airport New Development in Miami

    London + Regional Properties, operating through its subsidiary LR Miami Airport Hotel, LLC, recently submitted an Administrative Site Plan Review (ASPR) application to Miami-Dade County on October 24th, revealing plans for a new residential project at the Pullman Miami Airport Hotel site at 5800 Blue Lagoon Drive. This ambitious proposal includes two eight-story mixed-use buildings on the hotel’s current parking lot, bringing 600 new residential units to the area. The developer initially purchased this 10-acre property, which houses a 15-story hotel with 281 rooms, back in 2019.

    The development envisions two distinct buildings, each housing approximately 300 units with sizes varying from 570 to 1,718 square feet, spanning studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts. Key features include three parking structures totaling 1,344 spaces, with 1,020 spaces allocated for the apartments and 324 reserved for hotel guests. Additionally, the parking facility closest to the hotel will incorporate 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Residents will also have access to two pool and clubhouse areas, measuring 6,200 and 4,900 square feet, respectively.

    The east building will contain 319 units across its eight floors, with:

    • 32 studio units averaging 578 sq. ft.
    • 191 one-bedroom units averaging 803 sq. ft.
    • 90 two-bedroom units averaging 1,093 sq. ft.
    • 6 three-bedroom units averaging 1,380 sq. ft.

    The total leasable area for this building is projected at 278,600 square feet. The parking plan includes 452 spaces, divided into ADA, van, and standard spots, with a consistent distribution of 30 to 42 units per floor featuring a variety of floor plans.

    The west building will offer 281 units across eight floors, comprising:

    • 32 studio units averaging 561 sq. ft.
    • 151 one-bedroom units averaging 768 sq. ft.
    • 98 two-bedroom units averaging 1,108 sq. ft.

    The total leasable space here will cover 242,492 square feet, and parking will be available in the form of 420 spaces, including 8 ADA-accessible spaces, with no compact or tandem options.

    An essential component of the ASPR application includes a request to adjust the site’s inclusion in the Blue Lagoon Development of Regional Impact (DRI) to align with the project’s goals. The developer is pursuing variances to amend zoning conditions, particularly regarding parking and setback regulations, to better accommodate the new residential structures. Designed as a transit-oriented development under the Miami-Dade County SMART Corridor Subzone guidelines, this project is strategically located within a quarter-mile of the East-West Corridor of the SMART Program.

    London + Regional Properties has partnered with an experienced development team to execute this project:

    • Architect: Bizi Arq, based in Palmetto Bay
    • Civil Engineer: Hadonne
    • Landscape Architect: Kimley-Horn
    • Traffic Consultant: Traf Tech Engineering, Inc.

    The project application further requests an exception to continue hotel operations during construction, emphasizing a smooth transition to accommodate both current and new uses.

    This proposal, if approved, will transform the existing Pullman Miami Airport Hotel site into a modern mixed-use destination, enhancing residential options and bringing convenient transit and lifestyle amenities to Miami’s Blue Lagoon area.

    Edgardo Defortuna of Fortune International Group and Shahab Karmely of Kar Properties Launch Faena Residences Miami

    Faena Residences on the Miami River

    Miami’s skyline is set to welcome a stunning new addition as developers Edgardo Defortuna of Fortune International Group and Shahab Karmely of KAR Properties collaborate with Alan Faena to create the Faena District along the Miami River. This ambitious project includes the development of Faena Residences, a 440-unit luxury condominium development that promises to transform the area.

    Located at 90 Southwest Third Street in Miami, the Faena Residences project will replace the previously planned One River Point. The two-tower development, connected by a striking sky bridge, was designed by the late renowned architect Rafael Viñoly. Construction is slated to begin in early 2026, with sales expected to launch later this year. Units will range in price from $1 million to over $4 million.

    Fortune International Group joined KAR Properties as a co-developer in late 2022, bringing new energy to the project. According to Defortuna, the developers aim to be in full swing by Art Basel Miami Beach, one of the world’s premier art events. “We’ll be in full force by the time Art Basel rolls around,” he noted, underscoring the team’s enthusiasm for the development.

    The Faena Residences will include an impressive 45,000-square-foot amenity space in the sky bridge, which will be designed and programmed by Faena himself. The space is set to feature a variety of wellness-focused facilities, all aimed at promoting longevity and well-being—a hallmark of Faena’s development ethos.

    This project marks the second major South Florida real estate venture for Alan Faena, following the successful completion of the Faena District in Miami Beach, which includes Faena House, Faena Hotel, and Faena Forum. Backed by billionaire Len Blavatnik, the Faena District in Miami Beach has become synonymous with luxury, art, and world-class amenities. The new Faena Residences Miami looks to continue this legacy, offering a private park, wellness facilities, a marina, and public art installations as part of a larger three-block phased development along the river.

    In late 2022, Fortune and KAR secured a $38 million loan from Bank OZK, a line of credit aimed at supporting the project’s sales and marketing efforts. The developers are optimistic about the future of the Faena District along the Miami River, confident that it will become a defining part of Miami’s growing luxury real estate market.

    Karmely’s original vision for the 60-story towers, first revealed in 2014, included ambitious features like a three-story floating glass sky bridge and a 55th-floor members-only “Sky Club” with high-end amenities such as restaurants, a cigar lounge, and a screening room. Though the final plans have evolved, the Faena Residences Miami remains poised to offer a unique and exclusive living experience.

    The Faena Residences Miami is just one of several developments that will reshape the Miami River area. A recent analysis by The Real Deal found that more than a dozen projects are in various stages of development along the river, with plans to add over 10,500 condo and apartment units. Notable among these is Related Group’s Baccarat, a 75-story, 355-unit tower set to rise at 99 Southeast Fifth Street on the south side of the river.

    With its prime location, striking design, and emphasis on wellness, the Faena Residences Miami is set to become a landmark in the city’s evolving luxury real estate market.

The rooftop features an additional private dining room and bar, perfect for entertaining, while the outdoor pool with private cabanas, landscaped gardens, and an outdoor kitchen provides a luxurious setting for relaxation.

    Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the interiors are inspired by Miami’s lush tropical environment and the city’s vibrant cultural scene. The renowned design duo, who have a portfolio that includes Aman Residences in Tokyo and Edition Hotels globally, previously worked with Jean-Georges on The Fulton in New York. For Miami Tropic, their design integrates natural materials, shades of green, and sophisticated textures that balance the vibrancy of the Design District with the tranquility of tropical greenery.

    Each residence features floor-to-ceiling windows, providing panoramic views and a seamless connection to the city. Two distinct kitchen designs reflect Miami’s natural beauty—“dawn” and “dusk”—with warm, inviting palettes crafted to enhance the culinary experience, a tribute to Jean-Georges’ own involvement in the design process.

    With sales officially launched, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences promises to be one of the most coveted luxury residential offerings in Miami, delivering an unmatched blend of fine dining, wellness, and artful living in the heart of the city.

    Cove Miami in Edgewater: Condo Reservations Converted to Contracts, Construction Set to Begin in 2025

    Cove Miami in Edgewater
    Cove Miami in Edgewater

    Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood is poised to welcome a new architectural marvel: Cove Miami, a luxurious 40-story condominium tower that has officially converted reservations into contracts. The project, which has attracted significant attention from buyers, is set to begin construction in the first quarter of 2025, according to a recent announcement from its developers. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in the development, as plans become a reality and the future of Edgewater’s skyline takes another step forward.

    The development of Cove Miami has generated buzz from the outset, and the transition from reservations to contracts only underscores the strong demand for this project. According to a press release, even before formalizing contracts, interest in the 134 planned condominium units was substantial. The reservation process allowed potential buyers to secure their spot in one of the most desirable new developments in the city.

    This high level of demand speaks to the growing appeal of Edgewater as one of Miami’s most sought-after neighborhoods for luxury real estate. With its prime waterfront location, proximity to cultural hotspots like the Design District and Wynwood, and easy access to downtown Miami, Edgewater offers a unique blend of urban living and waterfront tranquility that continues to attract high-end buyers.

    Cove Miami represents a significant project for its developers, SB Development and Hazelton Capital Group, both national firms based in New York. Although this is their first development in Miami, both companies bring a wealth of experience and a proven track record in creating high-end real estate projects across the country. Their move into the Miami market is a testament to the city’s rising status as a luxury real estate hub and their confidence in Edgewater’s potential as a top destination for discerning buyers.

    For SB Development and Hazelton Capital Group, the decision to launch their first Miami project in Edgewater was a strategic one. The area’s waterfront setting and its rapidly growing reputation as a vibrant, upscale community made it the perfect location for a luxury development of this scale.

    Ahead of the 2025 construction start, significant pre-development work has already been completed. The developers have overseen the demolition of previous structures on the site and completed the construction of a new seawall. This ensures that the project is on solid footing as it moves forward, and the site is fully prepared for the next stages of development.

    The seawall construction is particularly noteworthy, as it reflects the developers’ commitment to creating a secure and sustainable waterfront property. Miami’s waterfront developments require meticulous attention to detail when it comes to resilience against rising sea levels and storm surges, and the team behind Cove Miami is ensuring that these concerns are addressed from the outset.

    Cove Miami is more than just a new residential tower; it’s a part of Edgewater’s transformation into a prime destination for luxury living. With the influx of high-end developments, Edgewater is becoming a premier choice for those seeking a blend of waterfront living, urban convenience, and Miami’s distinctive lifestyle. Cove Miami, with its elegant design, upscale amenities, and coveted location, is set to become one of the standout additions to the neighborhood.

    As construction gets underway in early 2025, prospective buyers and real estate enthusiasts alike will be closely watching the progress of this project. The conversion of reservations into contracts is a clear sign that the market is eager for what Cove Miami has to offer, and its completion will undoubtedly add another jewel to Edgewater’s increasingly luxurious skyline.

    As the project moves into its next phase, buyers and investors are anticipating further updates on Cove Miami’s features, amenities, and design details. The developers are expected to reveal more specifics in the coming months, but based on its waterfront location and luxury branding, residents can expect high-end finishes, cutting-edge amenities, and a lifestyle that fully embraces Miami’s indoor-outdoor living ethos.

    In the meantime, the team behind Cove Miami is working diligently to finalize all aspects of the development as they prepare to break ground in 2025.
