Foundation Milestone Achieved at Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences in Downtown Miami
Excitement builds in the heart of downtown Miami as the foundation work at 300 Biscayne Boulevard, the future site of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences, hits a significant milestone. This 100-story supertall tower is not only set to reshape the Miami skyline but also marks the introduction of Florida’s first supertall skyscraper.
Designed by the renowned Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with visionary Carlos Ott, the Waldorf Astoria Miami will rise to an impressive height of 1,049 feet. The project is a collaborative endeavor involving Property Markets Group, Greybrook Realty Partners, Mohari Hospitality, S2 Development, and Hilton. Upon completion, the structure will offer 1,738,999 square feet of mixed-use space, including residential, hotel, retail, office, and ample garage facilities.
John Moriarty & Associates, the general contractor overseeing the project, has made substantial progress. Recent updates from Andres Baquerizo at Keller, the contractor responsible for the site work and foundations, showcased the completion of critical foundation stages, including soil mixing and the installation of Augercast/CFA piles at a record depth of 190 feet. These developments pave the way for the next steps, which involve forming pile caps to distribute the building’s load evenly and preparing for vertical construction. The Miami Building Department has facilitated this progress with a Phased Class I: Full Vertical permit issued earlier this year.
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences will feature 360 private residences and 205 guestrooms and suites. The design includes nine glass offset cubes that create a striking visual effect. The hotel occupies the first three cubes, encompassing Waldorf Astoria’s signature spaces and amenities. Both residents and guests will enjoy access to luxury facilities like Peacock Alley, a specialty restaurant, versatile event spaces, and a holistic wellness spa.
Residents will be treated to top-tier amenities including a private lobby, hospitality suites for social events, a billiard room, a children’s club, and an exclusive pool deck. The integration of smart home technology and a custom mobile app will enhance living experiences by offering streamlined services such as dining reservations, room service, spa and fitness bookings, and more.
The anticipation for the Waldorf Astoria Miami continues to grow as the project moves towards its projected completion in 2027. This development is not just a building; it’s a beacon of luxury that promises to enhance Miami’s urban fabric and redefine luxury living in Florida.
One Park Tower by Turnberry: A New Residential Landmark in North Miami
North Miami is set to be home to a new architectural gem—One Park Tower by Turnberry. This 33-story residential development is currently under construction at 2411 Laguna Circle, within the expansive 184-acre master-planned community of SoLé Mia. The tower, designed by the renowned architectural firm Arquitectonica and developed by Aventura-based Turnberry, promises to be a significant addition to the area, standing at a striking height of 370 feet.
One Park Tower broke ground in January and is projected to offer 869,000 square feet of space, which includes 299 condominium residences. It’s strategically positioned south of the community’s 7-acre lagoon and east of SoLé Mia Way, integrating seamlessly with its surroundings.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has played a crucial role in ensuring that the construction of One Park Tower adheres to safety standards, particularly concerning air navigation. The FAA issued five building permits for the tower on April 25, valid for 18 months until October 25, 2025. This approval confirms that the tower, at 370 feet above ground or 390 feet above mean sea level, does not exceed obstruction standards and poses no hazard to air navigation.
Additionally, the FAA has approved the installation of two tower cranes at the site, each set to rise to 470 feet above ground level, further facilitating the tower’s construction without compromising safety.
The residences at One Park Tower will offer a range of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, including luxurious penthouses. Designed by Meyer Davis, these homes will feature high ceilings, dens, wrap-around terraces, and oversized master bedrooms with expansive walk-in closets. The property will also benefit from the landscaping expertise of DS Boca.
A standout feature of One Park Tower is Laguna Solé, a large swimmable lagoon complemented by a beach area, providing a unique aquatic experience to the residents. The development will also include 37 acres of green space, eight miles of biking and running trails, a private swimming pool, pickleball courts, and a state-of-the-art wellness center offering a range of fitness and spa services.
For added convenience, the tower will house co-working spaces, a library, event rooms, a climate-controlled wine room, and a dedicated children’s playroom. Security is a priority, with gated entry and 24-hour security in place, along with a secured parking garage that includes electric charging stations.
Turnberry has secured a substantial $172 million construction loan for the project, with the construction being carried out by Juneau Construction Company. Completion is anticipated in 2026, marking One Park Tower as a future landmark that promises luxury living in a dynamic community setting.
