The second building behind the tower which was supposed to be a hotel has been eliminated from the project.

This Building proves that miami is the coolest, sexiest city.

I am actually glad they are going to build this. It makes me proud that the city one of my Aunt's live in (Miami) is getting it's first 1,000+ footer. I just hope that nothing can stop this building not even during it's construction, and it would stand with an amazing amount of beauty in the Miami skyline. Though I am curious I thought that Miami has another 1,000+ footer at work the Empire World Towers. I think that One Bayfront Plaza would not be the only solo 1,000+ footer in Miami.

It's a great looking tower, but how can we be so sure that they actually ARE going to build this? There hasn't been a tangible update in over a year and a half.

OneWorldTradeCenter · #**149** Posted **Jan 14, 2011, 4:04 PM**

Actually construction start is planned for this year; but I don't think so.

Roadcruiser1 · #**150** Posted **Jan 14, 2011, 10:01 PM**

In this economy they would need to find a key office tenant before they can start construction, and that won't be easy to find.

...The Cube is part of Hollo’s ongoing vision for Brickell. A medical center, 60-story residential tower and shopping mall are in the planning stages, Hollo said.

His other projects — the $62 million Mikado hotel in the Omni district and Miami’s tallest skyscraper at 1 Bayfront Plz. are also moving along.

“We’ll hopefully be breaking ground on the Mikado next month,” he said. The 250-room mixed-use hotel is expected to be done by 2014.

Plans for the 1,049-foot Bayfront tower are being drawn up in New York and will be ready next fall, Hollo said. After that, city permits have to be obtained.

One Bayfront Plaza will act as a symbol of Miami's arrival as a contender to be one of the centers of the world economy.

They can and will. Miami will serve as the de facto capital of Latin America.

This precise tower is proceeding? If so, that's AWESOME news. Amo Miami!

futuresooner · #**156** Posted **Jul 27, 2011, 4:11 PM**

"plans being drawn up"

So does this mean the design is changing again?

I've been under the impression that Miapolis would never happen.

What about the Empire World Towers?

Roadcruiser1 · #**159** Posted **Jul 28, 2011, 12:49 AM**

They are still being proposed. Originally One Bayfront Plaza was supposed to be over 1,200 feet along with the Empire World Towers, but the FAA shaved 200 feet of height off all 3 buildings.

bobdreamz · #**160** Posted **Aug 9, 2011, 5:46 AM**

NYGuy thanks for the Herald article. There is a 17 story office building on the site that the developer owns where One Bayfront Plaza is supposed to rise that still has to be demolished. As for the height this is from the South Florida Business Journal:

Veteran developer Tibor Hollo is considering going from two high-rise towers to one with his plan to build the tallest building in Miami, but he says he isn’t reducing much else on the project.
His alternative vision for the One Bayfront Plaza site, located just southeast of Bayside Marketplace, still would have a hotel, offices and retail space inside more than 3 million square feet of building. The tower would lose some bragging rights by reducing its height from 1,049 feet to 1,010, but it would still tower over its closest competitor in Miami, the 789-foot Four Seasons Hotel and Tower on Brickell Avenue. The building’s haircut would make it just a smidge smaller than the tallest tower in the East – the 1,045-foot-high Chrysler building in Manhattan.
One Bayfront Plaza would become more svelte by losing 300,000 square feet of space, but Hollo still plans to develop 3.4 million square feet on the Biscayne Boulevard site.
“This is an exploration of what’s more beautiful,” said the developer, who heads Miami-based Florida East Coast Realty. “The economics are the lesser issue. The bigger issue is: Does it work and does it look better?”

As for the Empire World towers that project died years ago & I believe the developers went bankrupt.
Miapolis was a "vision" project and never a serious proposal.
