And if you consider those Paraiso projects to be U/C. I think Bayviews is actual U/C but not so sure the others are yet. Brickell House is completed so it should not count anymore. I guess I forgot about Aria but thats another one that is still digging in the dirt, no verticality yet.

2000 Biscayne is 643 feet. Eventually it will be u/c.

Emporis does list Brickell House as completed. I think Brickell BayView , if that is the project you mean is now Brickell Heights since it's address is the same when it was announced and sits on the land right next to the Chase tower.
Aria on the Bay is still listed as planned.
So if we remove Brickell House from the list it is Fifteen towers over 500+ Feet U/C with 4 U/C in Edgewater. Do you consider Edgewater as part of the "greater downtown area'? When all of these towers are completed Miami will have 45 skyscrapers over 500 ft.+| 152+m. It would place Miami in third place in the US after NYC & Chicago in that category and surpassing Houston by 10.

If we are putting this in U/C status, we should update the height to 57 stories, 635 feet as well.

I believe that emporis figure is wrong. Should be the current height and floors indicated in the title. Sales office confirms it.

Neat Google Rendering:



This tower has a mix of 10 and 14 ft per floor units, so its not the usual 1 floor = 10 feet ratio we tend to see with Miami-Dade developments.

Nice pic, altho it shows the building a bit taller than it is going to be....

It's moving pretty quick in my opinion. From the construction cam:

Some quick work in the last 5 days.

Miami's on fire! Next to 1000 Museum, this is one of the more futuristic towers going up.

[Ploppalopp]

Yeah i'm quite excited about this one because it has a nice design and height and on top of that it will fit well with the four seasons tower. 1000 museum will be really awesome to watch rise--its gotta be one of the most unique towers set to rise in the US today.

IDK if the SSP community see's it. Its crazy to think that a tower such as that (1000 museum) only has 87 posts meanwhile 500 Walnut in Philly has 179, and is clearly provincial in comparison. Some fine projects in Miami but no love. A 20 floor building in Calgary gets 400 plus replies but something incredible not so.

This calls for a song:

Ain't No Love - Jay Z

• Video Link

Just think of the song in terms of Miami not getting respect, and when you listen to it, it makes sense. Jay Z is like Miami. No one gives it respect, always hate, but guess what, its kicking everybody's ass.

Where's the love???

[Ploppalopp]

Yeah, Miami and Florida in general don't seem to get too much attention. I've got to say that when I visited Miami during the winter, I was amazed at how much construction was going on there. It was just like a playground for me! Sales offices pretty much every other block and a new towers going up all over the place. My point is that Miami is a really, really exciting place for anyone interested in big buildings and skyscrapers and so it must be that not too many forumers are from that area.

There are plenty of forumers it's just that they fled over to SSC since nobody here seems impressed with what's going up in Miami.
