They must be on to something, perhaps the FAA have changed their thinking on safety

Not move the airport, move the flight paths away from going over the downtown area so the FAA doesn't put height limits upon it.

That design is awesome

I'm glad you think so. Maybe I'm just hung up on the previous design.

This was a serious legal battle and the city was able to get 1,010 feet out of the FAA. They can't just change their minds like that. Something is not right about that Miami Today News story.

I Know that's right.

Well, maybe the FAA could be tied-up until this wave of construction gets underway.

Is FAA has already received approved yet? When it will start? When they will start construction?

Right, let's wait and see. We'll find out soon enough. Try to be more patiently. Give a time.

Planned Panorama would be Miami’s tallest tower

Mixed-use project by Tibor Hollo to begin marketing next year

by Sanna Chu (Miami Today)

A veteran Miami developer is planning to build a tower to tower above the rest. Tibor Hollo’s Panorama, which would go up at 1101 Brickell Avenue, would be Miami’s and Florida’s tallest building, Miami Today reported.

Panorama would rise 830 feet, with construction to be complete by 2016. The 85-story structure would have 941 rental apartments, 300,000 square feet of office space and 100,000 square feet of ground-level retail, according to Miami Today.

Construction at the site began last year and Hollo plans to start marketing in summer 2014, Miami Today said.

By a height of 41 feet, Panorama would dwarf the nearby Four Seasons Hotel & Tower at 1435 Brickell Avenue, which, at 789 feet, has been Miami’s and Florida’s tallest building for the past decade.

Hollo is also planning Miami’s first “super-tall” tower at 1,010 feet, the paper reported. One Bayfront Plaza has been in the works at 100 South Biscayne Boulevard for years, but construction has not yet begun. Hollo said he would re-focus on that project — and was confident it could go forward — after the Panorama project is complete.

I guess we will have to wait for the new tallest before we get our super tall

Bump. Any new developments?

[dave8721]

They are looking at bumping up the height to 1049 feet and getting started in "2 to 3 years"

From an article in todays Miami Herald:



http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/02/2...lanned-to.html

But Swire has close competition: veteran Miami developer Tibor Hollo’s Florida East Coast Realty, which already has approval for a long-planned 1,010-foot tower on Biscayne Boulevard across from Bayfront Park, is asking the Federal Aviation Administration to allow them to up the building’s height. To 1,049 feet.

That’s the height Hollo wanted, but couldn’t get, when the One Bayfront Plaza project was first approved in 2007.

Hollo, who built the Omni complex, the Opera Tower and numerous other urban projects during a development career spanning 60 years, won approval for One Bayfront Plaza during the economic downturn, figuring it would take several years to develop and build it. He now says he’s likely two to three years away from the start of construction.

The wedge-shaped tower, designed by the prominent firm Kohn Pederson Fox — also responsible for the signature Espirito Santo Bank building on Brickell — would contain two levels of shops, an 800-room hotel, 130,000 square feet of exhibition space, offices and 640 condos.

One reason he’s going super-tall, Hollo said, is that it’s simpler to build one really tall tower than multiple, shorter buildings.

“I prefer to do one building at a time,” Hollo said. “I like to focus on the details. If you do three or four at a time, you lose it. This way I can be on top of everything.”

This tower will be 1,005 Feet. The extra five feet just refers to the sea level change. The FAA approved it at that height according to the Miami Herald. They wanted it at 1,049 feet ,but the FAA didn't allow it. The developer, Hollo, is pushing for a 2018 completion. Its tentative though as things might change.

Still that's great, so much development happening in Miami

[chris08876]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the FAA wants this chopped down to 470 feet.

I hope they do not get their way. This is beyond absurd.

[...]

Florida East Coast Realty has proposed building its One Bayfront Plaza office and retail tower 1,005 feet tall. The FAA wants to cut it down to 470 feet.

What the? How on earth is that even reasonable?

To hell with the FAA. But is there any way that they wouldn't get their way?

[Hudson11]

why would they choose that height when there is a 760' tower right next door? Completely unreasonable. Do they release the data to their "studies"?

[Plokoon11]

I feel bad for Miami, such ashame.

There have been numerous projects in the past that have "compromised". I really do think that height is laughable. Especially from the developers standpoint. This is really a recommendation, but I don't think it will hold water. Probably see something 700 feet hopefully. Or... they may compromise for it to be higher, but this is one of many that are being affected by the unusually stringent FAA this year.

Even Miami Central, the supertall proposal revealed a couple of months ago, they want it half that height.

How this will affect the other two 900 footers recently revealed, its iffy. They really are a POS organization considering 700 foot plus towers are going up.
