Miami’s Skyline Is Getting Super Tall
At least 10 new skyscrapers, five of them supertalls, will be built in the next five years. Is that such a good idea?

The Cipriani will be surpassed by the Waldorf Astoria Residences in 2028. By 2030, the Waldorf will be matched by Miami Riverbridge, Dolce & Gabbana and One Bayfront, all expected to top out at around 1,049 feet, the current height limit set by the Federal Aviation Administration to allow for safe flight paths in and out of Miami International Airport.

Miami’s entry into this elite tier signals a new era for the city. “I used to say that Miami was having a moment, but I don’t know that you can have a ‘moment’ for five years,” said Ryan Shear, a managing partner at the development firm PMG, which is building the Waldorf Astoria Residences, the city’s first supertall. “I think Miami is having a revolution.”
Other skyscrapers in the works include the Delano Residences (985 feet), the new headquarters of the Citadel hedge fund firm (958 feet), the Okan Tower (902 feet), the Residences at 1428 Brickell (861 feet), 619 Brickell (886 feet), Baccarat Residences (848 feet) and the Mercedes-Benz Residences (773 feet). The Aston Martin Residences in Brickell was completed in 2024 and stands at 821 feet. A video rendering of President Trump’s proposed presidential library in downtown Miami shows a building towering over the city’s skyline, but the exact height has not been revealed.

The construction elevator on the Waldorf Astoria currently goes up to the 83rd floor. The skyscraper will reach 100 stories by the end of this year, making it Miami’s first skyscraper over 1,000 feet.
