With the constant construction of skyscrapers in South FL (including this one), I wonder whether such a project will take ahold of a city like Miami Beach. One would think that those types of projects currently being built in SIB would've taken place in Miami Beach. Who knows? I believe that in the near future, with Miami Beach being a lot closer than SIB, that we could see supertall residential (a a few commercial) towers in Miami Beach, at least for our lifetimes.
Only thing holding Miami Beach back is the lack of dynamism of Miami Beach's city council, which wants to consider every block with South and Mid Beach as "historic", when if that were the case, than cities such as NY, Chicago, Boston, and SF wouldn't have skyscrapers today. It's nice that SIB is getting those projects, but Miami Beach's political apparatus needs to evolve in calling every one and two-story structure "historic" and allowing for more high-rises in that city of 7.7 sq. mi. If that happens, you an see a city of about 150-200K people easily!
Finally, since this project is about 750 FT, it's only possible to see a project go up to 800 FT, or even 1000+ FT tall in the near future!
