It's simple, yet very elegant.

I think it is very elegant. I don't know if this will get built , but I just drew it and posted it on the Miami Diagram. Go check it out.

World Trade Center of The Americas Resubmitted To FAA At 980 Feet

World Trade Center of The Americas is requesting approval again from the Federal Aviation Administration for a building height of nearly 1000 feet.

The project is slated to replace a Holiday Inn at 340 Biscayne Boulevard. It is sometimes called ITC Miami.

In 2015, Regalia Developers Inc. obtained FAA approval for a tower to be built at 969 feet above ground, or 980 feet above sea level. Extensions were applied for in 2017 and again in August 2018, but the FAA told Regalia that only one extension is permitted, and a new application would be required.

On August 17, Regalia applied for a new approval at exactly the same height as approved in 2015 – 980 feet above ground. Review is underway.

The project site is next door to the 94-story Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences project, which is approved at 1,049 feet above ground.

World Trade Center of the Americas is approved by the city as a 77-story tower with 400 residential units, 100 hotel rooms, 246,529 square feet of office space, and 516 parking spaces. Arquitectonica is the architect.

Wonderful.

BTW, at 980 feet, is this considered a supertall?

^^^^^

It just misses the super tall cut off of 984 ft which is 300m.

77-Story World Trade Center Of The Americas Gets FAA Approval Just Before Government Shutdown

It was an early Christmas present for the developer proposing to build the 77-story World Trade Center Of The Americas – and just in time, too.

On December 22, the Federal Aviation Administration ruled that the tower would not pose a hazard to air navigation and could be built. The ruling was issued just hours before a federal government shutdown at midnight that day.

World Trade Center Of The Americas can be built at 969 feet above ground, or 980 feet above sea level, the ruling stated. It is the same height that had been approved for the building in 2015, but that approval expired.

Miami’s current tallest is Panorama Tower in Brickell, which stands 868 feet above ground, though several are proposed to surpass that height.

The Federal Aviation Administration said they would not accept new applications or process existing applications during the government shutdown.

Regalia Developers Inc. is the company that submitted the World Trade Center proposal to the FAA.

I passionately love Miami, but its architecture is horrendous. This tower looks absurd.
