Giant 'R'-Shaped Observation Tower Planned For Bayside Pier

Quote:
Holy Mother Of Fricken Crap. Challenging, but not quite beating Brickell CityCentre's planned supertall tower for supremacy, mega-mall developer Jeff Berkowitz has submitted plans to the City of Miami for an observation tower called "Skyrise Miami" according to exMiami. (no not this) that would be located on an existing pier behind the Hard Rock Cafe at Bayside Marketplace and would rise to 1,000 feet above sea level. (the FAA has already approved)

The swooping Arquitectonica-designed tower resembles a giant crowbar or the 'R' in 'Rise' and will include three observation decks with what seem to be uninterrupted views of Downtown, Brickell, and Miami Beach. The exposed structure gives the tower a rather industrial aesthetic which might read quite nicely against the Port of Miami backdrop. More imporantly, the entire development would provide a terminus for the Bayfront Park boardwalk and encourage people to activate the entirety of the waterfront. Additional amenities include a restaurant, nightclub, private lounge, ballroom, movie theatre, and some vague amenities/amusement rides only known as "Skyplunge" and "Skyrise Drop."

Whatever your opinion, it's hard to argue with the fact that Miami has been longing for a new landmark building. Could this be it?

WOW!

I like it but I'm not quite sure I like the design. I mean actually do like the design, just not sure if I like it in that location. I'm so confused!

SkyscrapersOfNewYork Nov 23, 2013 1:24 PM
Great project, quite daring....though doesn't this thread belong in general development?

phillyskyline Nov 23, 2013 1:40 PM
Those curves would be a nice contrast against the othe highrises in the Miami skyline!

tyleraf Nov 23, 2013 1:49 PM
Looks nice. It'll be a great icon for Miami.

Onn Nov 23, 2013 6:06 PM
They should build this, although I would argue it should be a little taller. Great project! :tup:

StoOgE Nov 23, 2013 6:44 PM
It evokes a similar feeling as the observation deck at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin.

Obviously very different material and scale.

Very Dubai in nature imo, was this and the tower at the Circuit of the Americas desiigned by the same firm? They look very similar in massing.

well remember anything close to water is going to take on the essence of a more monotone color skyline ,miami's skyline is beckoning fo a developement like this, along with 1 brickell city centre and one bayfront plaza we have a lineup of supertalls coming together.and no its different firms.

The tower in Austin was designed by http://www.mirorivera.com/

I don't think they did both projects.

This is awesome! 3 possible skyscrapers in Miami all over 900'!

Surrealplaces Nov 26, 2013 6:07 PM
I'm not a big fan of it. It's unique and out there, and I can see how many would like it, it's just too 'out there' for my own tastes.

dave8721 Nov 26, 2013 9:13 PM
Officially the tower would be 990 feet not 1000. The FAA approved it at 1000 feet above sea level (the site is 10 feet above sea level).

Design-mind Nov 27, 2013 2:58 AM
Not a big fan as it has a lot of wasted space just to gain height. Why don't they just add a spire then they could say they have a supertall.

supertallchaser Nov 27, 2013 4:01 PM
^because thats not the point,its rather a landmark symbolizing miami than a cheap way to say they have a supertall.

Miami Avis Magica Skyscraper by Armarada


December 26, 2013
by Nina Papaioannou


Quote:
Avis Magica by Armarada, a conceptual vertical tower, was built as the tallest building in the area, 335 meters, featuring a new concept called the “vertical nature”.

With an artificial “ecosystem” it will include a museum at the below ground level, dedicated to the city’s wildlife and a 120m tall aquarium water which is pumped and filtered directly from the ocean, an area of islands with tropical vegetation located above the aquarium.

It was part of the competition, held by DawnTown, called for an iconic design for a building in main city, which explains Avis Magica’s rather extraordinary shape.

State’s tallest observation tower advances (via exMiami)
Quote:
But Mr. Berkowitz has been busy. He has already gained the necessary approvals on the height of the tower from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Zoning has also been completed for the huge project.

“We will be presenting the project to the city commission for certain remaining approvals,” Mr. Berkowitz said recently.

“We do not anticipate an issue in receiving phased permits, which will allow the foundation work to commence,” he added.

Mr. Berkowitz plans preparatory work on the site to begin in April, and is planning on a May groundbreaking.

“Interest is very high,” he said. “We view SkyRise as the prettiest girl in the dance.

“We are projecting 3.2 million visitors a year,” he said.

“It’s going to be iconic. It’s going to be the Miami Eiffel tower. We have very significant public support for it,” he said.

jd3189 Feb 12, 2014 7:53 PM
This most likely will be Miami's first real signature tower.

I hadn't realized it was that far along. It would be great to see this get built.

Dubai meets Miami at a party. Nine months later, this is their child. Great detailed renderings of a great peice of architecture that draws influences from what we see going up in Dubai and in Asia. Along with this, Miami is expecting a lot more projects to rise as many are being revived from the recession. A lot of 200m+ towers too :cheers:.

I would like to mention that the Shanghai Tower was created by an arch firm out of San Francisco, and Burj Khalifa/Dubai was built by a firm out of Chicago. It is great that the futurism & lessons they learned abroad can now be realized at home.

Indeed. Traveling is probably the best thing an architect can do to improve his or hers mindset. Can't wait for this one to start. That restaurant/club looks delightful.

Very unique; looks like a hissing snake.

Both renderings look especially exposed to a possible sea level rise.

SkyRise Miami wants state funding now, and commissioners are eating it up

Notes:
1) Shovel ready work in late spring 2014. :)
2) The vote was 12-0 in favor of giving state funding for the project. :cheers:
3) Will be largest tourist attraction in South Florida.

Yes sir. They received FAA approval, the zoning is complete, and the developer is aggressively working on setting this one up. The city commision seems to also be in favor of this project. :cheers:

Its going to be great for the area, especially for tourism as well as providing permanent jobs.

Dale May 2, 2014 2:10 AM
I know it's not a building, per se, but will certainly appear as a new tallest in skyline shots due to its substantial profile.

Yup. Construction is expected to begin in in mid-2014. It wont hold the title of tallest for long. If all goes well, two more supertalls will be finished by 2018/19. Of course a lot can happen in 4 years. For all we know, something taller might pop up. Lets hope this red hot market continues.

SkyRise Miami Site Work Could Begin In A Month

Quote:
In the "is that hideous thing really getting built?" news of the day, site prep work on the giant R-shaped SkyRise Miami could begin by June, before Federal Aviation Administration height approvals expire on June 12th. Commissioners will vote at a meeting later this week to decide whether or not to let the work begin even though the tower itself has to pass a voter referendum in August or November.

Nothing like a deadline to get things moving. We'll see what happens.

Earagon May 15, 2014 11:36 AM
Article in the Miami Today:

The placement of three pilings at the edge of a waterfront parking lot in downtown Miami will represent the official start of construction of a $430 million observation tower.

And after an affirmative vote May 8, developer Jeff Berkowitz can have that work commence, the first step toward construction of a 1,000-foot-tall playground called SkyRise Miami.

Last week the Miami City Commission approved a resolution authorizing foundation work to begin on the development.

Mr. Berkowitz was asking for approval to begin preliminary work now so he can maintain height approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, which expires June 12 unless work has commenced.

Good to see this one on the road! I think this will be great for Miami! :)

Earagon May 15, 2014 1:47 PM
Well, its not a done deal,they just need to do something before the June 12th deadline set by FAA. I'm praying and hoping this gets built. We need an Iconic tower in Miami.
