Not a lot of activity.

But the shovel seen in my last post moved and I think the pile of dirt in the center got a little smaller.

I wonder what the hold up is.

Well, at least Okan will be a new tallest in the meantime.

No hold up! Just a massive tower that requires time, especially with Florida's soil composition.

UDRB submissions from a few years ago indicate it was 1,036 FT or 92 floors.

The official developer website shows it to be 1,041 FT or 100 floors.

I'd go with the official developer.

Sometimes they stretch the floor count or skip some. IIRC the cutaway showed 92.

What’s going on with the new building?? They haven’t built it yet! They still digging on the ground??

These things take a while.

YIMBY article with a nice photo

Mat yet to be poured but we can look forward to that soon.

A lot of big towers are finally going to be rising in Miami this year and 2025. Things are going to be very exciting.

Impressive! Now it's time to get above sea level.

Good things take time! A lot of time! So much time!!!

So slow that it breaks the quantum foam of the universe, that's how much time and how slow... but it will happen, eventually...

Well, we don't want to end up with a tilting skyscraper like in New York, and San Francisco.

Yup, No tilting and only cantilevering! I would guestimate sometime in end of 2026 or early 2027 for topping off.

Impressive! Are those bunches of rods going to turn into columns, for underground parking stories?

Edit -- I hadn't looked at the pics before posting, clearly not, they're just all way too close. A full slab is going to be poured at that level, I assume?

[BrickellBased]

Yeah - they'll be connected via a mat pour that will distribute the weight of the building more evenly across them.

I would think the mat pour should be somewhat soon - within a few months. They have a lot of rebar to lay for that. Then vertical construction will start.

These big towers in Miami clearly require much deeper and larger foundations per height than buildings up north. Okan and Panorama towers had similar mat pour sizes to Petronas Towers and this will probably be the similar - although I think this required more piling work.
