We are in agreement here, even though it looks like something out of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The height limit in downtown Miami is actually 1,010 feet because of the proximity to MIA. The FAA would have never allowed this tower to stand on Watson Island. That is what led me to believe the developer wasn't really serious. It would have to have been built farther north away from MIA flight paths and runways and outside of downtown Miami. There is a large piece of property in northeast Miami that could have held it and outside of MIA flight paths, but well away from the CBD and financial district.
