One Bayfront Plaza is going to go before the Planning Board on May 16th. Here are the stats:
70-stories, 1049 feet tall, 850 hotel rooms, a whopping 2,124,000 sqft of office space, 120,000 sqft of "exibition/banquet" area, 112,000 sqft of retail space and 2560 parking spaces. It is expected to cost Tibor Hollo $1.3 Billion to build it.
On the FAA issue the City states that the building does not comply with the MD Aviation Dept height ordinance. It states the current height allowed by the MDAD is only 949 feet at that location, and that the County would need to pass an ordinance to allow taller buildings. Here is the quote (from page 32 of the doc below):
Quote:
"The project as presented exceeds the current maximum allowed height of the Miami-Dade Aviation Dept of 949 feet AMSL. If prior to the issuance of the buiding permit for One Bayfront Plaza, Miami-Dade Couty adopts a new ordinance that allows for greater height (1,049 feet AMSL) then this project may be built to the highest approved height by said Ordinance"
