Geeking out now.

Says it is 12,000 cubic yards. For reference I furiously googled a bit

21,200 cyd - Wilshire Grand (they had a marching band) - largest continuous concrete pour ever
20,927 cyd - Burj Khalifa
12,000 cyd - Okan Tower
12,000 cyd - SalesForce San Francisco
5,000 cyd - Signature Bridge Center Pier
5,000 cyd - Trump Tower Chicago
4,000 cyd - Vista Tower Chicago
4,000 cyd - One Vanderbilt NYC

Obviously geology is a big influence, not just height. But this has to be one of if not the largest ever for Miami?

Edit: So more research. Panorama was quite large. Says 14,677 cyds but only 11,737 continuous. So if this is continuous this may be a new Florida record.

Soon to be the tallest residential building on the eastern seaboard south of New York, the Panorama Tower will overlook Miami’s beautiful skyline from 83 stories up. A total of 14,677 cubic yards of concrete was used as Cemex undertook the largest mat pour in Florida. The continuous pour of 11,737 cubic yards was a Miami record. The 20.5-hour pour required about 1,200 truckloads at a delivery rate of 572 cubic yards per hour. The project is expected to be completed toward the end of 2017 and cost about $800 million. Panorama Tower is a mixed-use development strategically located at the epicenter of the Brickell financial district.
