Sieger Suarez Architects is leading the design for the supertall tower in collaboration with Carlos Ott. New renderings from ArX Solutions were recently revealed in the project’s UDRB filing, which received approvals from the city last week. The building will be composed of 9 stacked offset glass cubes arranged in various angles. The top cube will be the most offset, cantilevered towards the southeast corner of the building. The reinforced concrete superstructure will be clad in tinted and clear glass panels in aluminum frames, tinted and clear glass railings, alucobond panels, metal louvers and smooth stucco finishes.

Often referred to as Waldorf Astoria Miami, the tower is planned to yield 1,608,457 square feet across 9 glass offset cubes including 461 residential units, 205 hotel rooms, high-end amenities and 1,321 square feet for commercial uses. The parking garage will be built adjacent to the tower including 431,862 square feet of space for 694 vehicles.
CHM Structural Engineers LLC is listed as the structural engineer, MG Engineering is the MEP Engineer and GRAEF is listed as engineer as well. EGS2 will be the landscape architect. John Moriarty and Associates (JMA) is the general contractor, the manager for several other PMG and Greybrook projects such as Society Biscayne and Society Orlando.
There are no private providers listed on the foundation permit for expedited services as of yet, so approvals will likely take some time. Permits for vertical construction have not been filed yet. Site work is expected to begin later this year, and completion of the project in 2025.

Stacked boxes, how original.
Beautiful building. If they are not using a private provider this will take awhile.
One wonders who was in the room when this design was approved. Not so much a case of form follows function as look at me, aren’t I clever? A blot on the cityscape.
Great to see Miami getting a supertall, but sad that it looks so unsettling rather than majestic.
Wonderful building.
