NYGuy thanks for the Herald article. There is a 17 story office building on the site that the developer owns where One Bayfront Plaza is supposed to rise that still has to be demolished. As for the height this is from the South Florida Business Journal:
Veteran developer Tibor Hollo is considering going from two high-rise towers to one with his plan to build the tallest building in Miami, but he says he isn’t reducing much else on the project.
His alternative vision for the One Bayfront Plaza site, located just southeast of Bayside Marketplace, still would have a hotel, offices and retail space inside more than 3 million square feet of building. The tower would lose some bragging rights by reducing its height from 1,049 feet to 1,010, but it would still tower over its closest competitor in Miami, the 789-foot Four Seasons Hotel and Tower on Brickell Avenue. The building’s haircut would make it just a smidge smaller than the tallest tower in the East – the 1,045-foot-high Chrysler building in Manhattan.
One Bayfront Plaza would become more svelte by losing 300,000 square feet of space, but Hollo still plans to develop 3.4 million square feet on the Biscayne Boulevard site.
“This is an exploration of what’s more beautiful,” said the developer, who heads Miami-based Florida East Coast Realty. “The economics are the lesser issue. The bigger issue is: Does it work and does it look better?”
As for the Empire World towers that project died years ago & I believe the developers went bankrupt.
Miapolis was a "vision" project and never a serious proposal.
