^ I like this rendering / view from Brickell Bay Drive.

The other renderings above are not flattering . It does feel massive though.

Quite bulky. Gotta give credit to Miami for bulkiness. Some of these towers in the 700+ foot range are quite large. I hope 2017 will be a prosperous year for the place. And... hopefully Trump makes EB-5 more desirable. I read about them wanting to raise the limit up to 800k for a visa, but I'd like for them to increase the cap of allowable visas. I think foreign investment is key for this real estate sector. As we've seen with Brazilian, and Russian investors.

Meanwhile, waiting on the edge of my seat for that first supertall.

^^^^^

Its a double edge sword when it comes to super talls. Time is the greatest suspense. If all goes to plan, with everything in the pipeline, we could have a lot startup right away, but yet again, it could all come crashing down. These projects are taking forever though (supertall ones).

I would be pleasantly surprised if all of them get built.....would be thrilled if we can get 3 of them up...this is one I would love to see happen....

Developers are waiting for the market to get better or become stronger. The market is doing fine, but once it becomes a little stronger, we should see a lot more activity.

Rosso also told TRD Related plans to relaunch condo plans for One Brickell, a three-tower, 1,400 unit residential and hotel project that would replace an existing office building at 444 Brickell. He cited new project launches like the Aston Martin Residences and updated plans for Tibor Hollo’s super-tall at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive. The Coto family of Argentina just launched sales for the Aston Martin Residences, and Hollo’s Florida East Coast Realty, Corigin Real Estate Group and McCourt Global Properties announced Norman Foster would be designing their 660-unit high-rise last month. Both high-profile projects are moving forward during a slowdown in Miami’s luxury condo market.

^ Great news !

This is another thread you need to rename to :

MIAMI | The Towers by Foster | 1,049 + 1,044 FT | 81 + 80 FLOORS

in the "Title Change Request thread" at the top of this sub-forum along with 300 Biscayne Blvd. Way. to Aston-Martin residences.

chris08876 · #49 Posted **Dec 9, 2017, 1:27 AM**

This and 300 Biscayne. 3 potential super talls for Miami that I feel have an extremely good chance of coming to fruition. 300 Biscayne is solid. It will happen. Almost every single tower that has had a sales center u/c pre-construction wise of the original tower in the last 5 years has risen.

If this was taller (Around 1,100 to 1,300 ft), it would be a game changer for the city. Looks like a good signature tower for Brickell.

1049 seems to be the limit in Miami due to FAA regulations.

Its a respectable figure. Sunny Isles seems to have a cap of 649 ft AMSL as well. If you notice, a lot of the towers rising or build recently are that figure AMSL for Sunny Isles.

But hey, for the FAA to be happy with that, its good in my book. Although they will approve this height for DT Miami, yet in LIC in NYC, they cap it at around 750-800 ft?

FAA is smoking that chronic at times.

What is the difference between the distance from Miami International to the Downtown core and that of LaGuardia to LIC?

chris08876 · #54 Posted **Dec 9, 2017, 7:01 PM**

MIA to downtown is about 8-9 miles. LaGuardia is somewhat closer, about 5 miles. But LIC is very close to Manhattan and the flight path that does go over Queens/Brooklyn tends to cut through Ridgewood, Bushwisk, and angling around Elmhusrt area. So called the visual landing. A lot of flights though will come up from the North (Bronx) and land on the runway adjacent to Rikers Island.

Doesn't really pose a danger to 900-1000 ft towers.

Yeah. Well, if anything, the skyline has a good chance of being denser with these proposals.

Prezrezc · #56 Posted **Dec 11, 2017, 8:24 PM**

Fate has been extremely kind to Miami; so I hope these are okayed.

If this proposal had been submitted for the Twins replacement instead the unfortunate, awkward, grossly misproportioned (re cityscape) proposal shown above...Well, would could shoulda.

But this is another Foster triumph that I hope escapes federaized downsizing.

What do the latest renderings look like for this thing???

Its a great design. Foster understands Miami. It understands the 21st Century, globally connected city that is Miami..

This city has had one of the greatest transformations of any U.S. city right next to NYC in the last 10 years. Sure we can say Seattle too, but in terms of raw transformation and change, S.Florida really ramped the game up. Not just in towers or skyscrapers, but in transit. ABF (All Aboard Florida) and the Brightline for example.

If all goes well, the city might very well be the 3rd rank in the super tall game for North America.
