The Federal Aviation Administration has granted approvals for the installation and use of four tower construction cranes at 601 Northeast 1st Avenue, the address for the upcoming NATIIVO, a 51-story, 588-foot-tall mixed-use skyscraper set to rise on the northeast corner of NE 1st Avenue and NE 6th Street in Downtown Miami. The tower is designed by Arquitectonica with interiors being handled by Urban Robot Associates, and developed by Sixth Street Miami Partners LLC which is owned by the Galbut Family. The tower is expected to yield 932,839 square feet of space and intends to service the home-sharing and short-term-rental industry.

Envisioning The Future Supertalls Of The City Of Miami

8:00 am on April 26, 2021 By Oscar Nunez

In recent years, the city of Miami has seen an influx of proposals for supertall skyscrapers; this supertall is defined as a building reaching the height of 300 meters or greater, or a minimum of 984 feet. Various developers have put together elite teams of architects and engineers to bring the phenomenon to South Florida, yet as of today, none have been constructed. Skyscraper construction is no myth in the area as the city’s skyline is densely packed with hundreds of high rises, and perhaps even some that visually appear to come close to 300 meters, but a legitimate supertall has yet to come to fruition. This could be due to various factors, such as funding or engineering obstacles; maybe in the past the demand wasn’t there. But what we do know is that the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, has approved a handful of supertall skyscraper proposals. These are the most recently proposed and approved projects.
