Honestly any tall building (especially modern ones) gets me excited but this is a very rare case where it doesn't. I like the idea of a supertall right there its just the design is so...boring. Especially for a supertall in a prime location in the heart of Downtown Miami.
The new presentation to the Miami River Commission shows the updated design for the project, which would total nearly 3.8 million square feet. The tallest of the three towers would rise 87 stories, or 1,044 feet – making it one of the tallest buildings in Florida. A sky bridge would connect the hotel tower with one of the residential towers at the 61st floor.
Miami Riverbridge would have 1,342 multifamily units, 264 apartment/hotel units, 615 Hyatt Regency hotel rooms, and 100,000 square feet of commercial space, including restaurants, a food market, and retail. It would have 1,180 parking spaces.
Miami River's tallest tower will be 1,044 FT. About 3 ft taller than Waldorf.

How dos that happen? All the supertalls proposed in Miami have been artificially capped at 1041 ft (1049 ft sea level). The last rendering is definitely the best proposal and I can hope that groundbreaking begins soon!

This is right on the river and the site sits a 3 feet lower above sea level than Waldorf. So this tower can fit 1044 feet above ground to reach 1049 feet which Waldorf can only fit 1041 feet of tower to make 1049 feet. Waldorf is at about 8 feet above sea level and this one is on a site that bottoms out at just 5 feet above sea level.
The last design kinda worn out on me. The new design is nice but I preferred the old one better. Either way, hope the developers can build this beautiful project!
878 room hotel is ginormous. That would basically double as a convention center and able to hold some pretty large events. It would really add lot to increasing the amount of activity downtown.
And a world famous level design.

878 was really shocking when I read it, I double guessed myself more times than I could count because I don't want to give the wrong info. I guess the data says what it says though:
And unfortunately no citadel HQ in this UDRB release, they're making us wait
What is the deal with count a hotel key as .5 a unit?

I've seen it done many times. It just means that one hotel room is worth the density of 1/2 of a normal dwelling unit or vice versa. It's also used in parking calculations. You only need 1 parking space for every 2 hotel rooms due to their smaller size over traditional dwelling units and shared parking factors.
This varies per municipality but in Miami it works this way!
What does 1698 bike parking spaces even look like? Just having a big room that they designate as bike parking? I doubt they actually have 1698 bike stand slots.
I'd love to see this get built without the Phase 2 tower. It would leave the best siteline to Pei's tower (still in the top 3 as far as architecture amongst Miami towers) open. If fully built out Pei's tower will be buried in shadow for most of the day most of the year.
