List of tallest buildings in Miami

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of tallest buildings in Miami ranks skyscrapers in the U.S. city of Miami, Florida by height. The tallest building in Miami is the 70-story Four Seasons Hotel Miami, which rises 789 feet (240 m) in the city's Brickell district and was completed in 2003.^[1] It also stands as the tallest building in the state of Florida and the 47th-tallest building in the United States. The second-tallest skyscraper in the city is the Wachovia Financial Center, which rises 764 feet (233 m).^[2] Nine of the ten tallest buildings in Florida are located in Miami.

Miami's history of skyscrapers began with the 1913 completion of the McAllister Hotel, although the Freedom Tower, built in 1925, is Miami's best known early skyscraper, and remains an icon of the city.^[3][4] Miami is currently going through its largest building boom in the city's history. In what is being dubbed a "Manhattanization wave",^[5] there are currently nearly 60 structures proposed, approved or under construction in the city that are planned to rise over 500 feet (152 m) in height.^[A] The city is the site of 24 completed skyscrapers over 500 feet (152 m) tall, with 19 more under construction.

Overall, Miami's skyline is ranked first in the Southeast and third in the United States, after New York City and Chicago.^[B] By 2010, Miami is expected to have one of largest skylines in the world. Of the 10 tallest buildings in the city, 2 were constructed in 2007, 6 in 2008, 2 in the 1980's and 1 in 2003. In addition, only 5 of the city's 25 tallest buildings were completed before the year 2000.

The two tallest developments currently taking place in Miami are One Bayfront Plaza and the Empire World Towers. One Bayfront Plaza is a recently approved supertall skyscraper, scheduled to be completed in 2015.^[6] It is the tallest building proposed for construction in the city, and is expected to rise 1,049 feet (320 m), with 70 floors.^[7] One Bayfront Plaza has the distinction of being the first skyscraper over 1,000 feet (305 m) to be approved in Miami. The Empire World Towers are two twin towers proposed for construction. Both are planned to be completed in 2010, and would rise 1,022 feet (312 m) in height.^[8] This would make the towers the 2nd-tallest structures in Miami, behind One Bayfront Plaza.

[edit] Timeline of tallest buildings

There have been several buildings in Miami that have served as the tallest building in the city. While the 10-story McAllister Hotel was the first high-rise building in the city, the Freedom Tower is generally regarded as Miami's first skyscraper.^[3][4] In recent years, the Manhattanization of the city has led to huge amount of new development. Several buildings that are currently under construction, approved, and proposed could earn the title of tallest building in the city upon completion.
