Miami's skyline evolution accelerates with transformative developments focused on luxury, commerce, and climate resilience. Three major projects signal this dramatic shift:
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences
Rising 100 stories at 100 S. Biscayne Blvd, this Foster + Partners design will become Miami's tallest building upon completion. This monumental structure will feature:
- A 5-star Waldorf Astoria hotel
- Ultra-luxury branded residences
- Unparalleled panoramic views stretching to the Bahamas
Its tapering form and sky gardens redefine waterfront density.
One Brickell City Centre (Phase Four)
This 80+ story commercial tower expands Miami's global financial hub. Developed by Swire Properties and Related Group, it offers:
- Over 1.2 million square feet of prime office space
- Integral connection to the existing Brickell City Centre complex
- Technologically advanced workspaces catering to finance and tech tenants
It solidifies Brickell's status as a premier international business district.
Next-Generation Climate-Resilient Mixed-Use
High-rises now prioritize resilience against sea-level rise. Zaha Hadid Architects' projects, including Una Residences and future concepts, demonstrate:
- Elevated ground-floor programming and robust foundational structures
- Advanced flood mitigation and stormwater management systems
- Sustainable materials and energy-efficient "smart" building systems
This engineering shift is fundamental to Miami's long-term viability.
