The 100-story Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences in Miami is progressing significantly with the filing of tower crane licenses for 300 Biscayne Boulevard. This incredibly tall tower was created by Sieger Suarez Architects and Carlos Ott and is being built by a group of prestigious investors. These companies include international investment business Mohari Hospitality, S2 Development, national developer Property Markets Group, Canadian private equity firm Greybrook Realty Partners, global hospitality giant Hilton, and general contractor John Moriarty Associates.
Two tower cranes are planned to rise 1,255 feet above ground level, or 1,266 feet above sea level, according to the FAA file from May 31. The estimated work timeline for the cranes is from October 24, 2023, to August 23, 2027, demonstrating the precise planning and long-term dedication required for this enormous undertaking.
The Waldorf Astoria Miami, which is situated at 300 Biscayne Boulevard, will have nine spiraling, offset glass cubes that are evenly placed and covered in what is sometimes described as a “glass skin” to set it apart from other East Coast properties. In order to develop an iconic edifice in Downtown Miami that offers 360-degree views of Downtown Miami, Miami Beach, and the Atlantic Ocean, Sieger Suarez Architects and famous architect Carlos Ott collaborated.
Additionally, the developers collaborated with award-winning interior design company BAMO, which takes pride in designing enticing surroundings that flow, function, and inspire individuals to live and dream more completely. Along with guest rooms and suites inside the five-star hotel, the resort will have 360 private houses. Peacock Alley, a specialty restaurant, indoor/outdoor pre-function, and event spaces, conference and boardrooms, a resort-style pool deck with private cabanas, a spa, and a fitness facility will all be considered signature areas.

With all of the news surrounding the FIFA World Cup and Miami bid, another great announcement was made for the Miami Freedom Park with new renderings and development plans showcasing the major project.
According to the developers, the newest renderings were revised after the first meeting with the Miami Review Board and this newest proposal includes not only exterior renderings but site sections, area enhancements, and updated design visions.
The revised proposal shows the plan will include a 600,000 sq. ft. retail and soccer village, 25,000 seat stadium, 750 hotel rooms, 400,000 sq. ft. office, and 5,100 parking spaces.
Some of the enhancements noted in the revised proposal include new pedestrian access points, crosswalk connections, and pedestrian path improvements.
The hearing to discuss the project was scheduled to be reviewed last week with Miami’s Urban Development Review Board. One of the conclusions for the review included the vote to move the Miami Commissioners offices into the new administrative buildings at Miami Freedom Park.
Arquitectonica is listed as the architect for the project. Although the project is located at the end of one of the Miami International Airport runways, it will be in compliance with the Federal Aviation Association height restrictions.
One of the biggest concerns for the Miami Freedom Park is that building the 1+ million square feet of commercial space will affect the surrounding neighborhoods and will clog area streets.
