Apparently some Miamians on other forums are not too happy with this design saying that Citadel had promised an "Iconic" tower that would transform the Miami skyline.
Instead they have now dubbed it the "Shampoo Bottle" tower :

I like this building better than the Waldorf Astoria one.

It looks like the top floor could be used in a manner similar to the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles, which also serves as an observation deck open to the public. Therefore, it looks like there could an observation deck of sorts open to the public, but with free admission.

Ken Griffin is partnering with Related Cos. to help develop the massive new Miami headquarters to house his Citadel businesses.

Related, known for its work on developments such as Hudson Yards, is being brought onto a project to build a 54-story tower along Miami’s waterfront at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive.

“We are excited to partner with the team from Related Companies as we work together to develop an iconic tower that will redefine Miami’s skyline,” a Citadel spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

According to plans filed last year, the building will also include a hotel on the upper floors, a public pedestrian path along the water and retail and waterfront restaurant space. Foster + Partners will design the building.

....“Miami is a world class and global city deserving of the world-class tower that Ken Griffin has planned for Citadel’s headquarters,” said Bruce Beal, Related’s president. “Our team has deep experience building class AAA office at this scale, with unrivaled attention to detail, and we’re delighted to integrate our team of experts with Citadel to execute such an exciting project.”

Yes, the crown on top of the building is less prominent in the model compared to the renderings online. I actually prefer the look of the building in the model, as the crown in the renderings looks unattractive and out of place, definitely not fitting for an iconic Miami building.
