1/17/2024 0 Comments Miami tallest skyscraperGiven that the location of Miami International Airport being too close to the downtown, plus the majority of flight paths of the city are direct above the downtown area, FAA makes the height limit for Miami more strict than other cities, while in some cases a height of 2000-foot is fine, such as Chicago Spire in Chicago, where both airport and flight paths are further away from downtown.įAA is not the biggest obstruction of the development of supertall skyscrapers in Miami though, since they have approved several buildings to surpass 1000-foot mark with the highest being 1120 ft, FAA simply makes it harder for the supertalls in Miami go higher. One of the major factors of this problem is the provisions made by FAA. However the problem is, that none of these supertall towers has ever get into real construction phase, at most preparation, let alone to be built, the city's first supertall approved known as One Bayfront Plaza was proposed 10 years ago, the construction seems still unlikely to get started in a short time, but now that it has been on site preparation, seems things are getting better, let's wait for more progress.

As early as in 2007 a two-building complex called Empire World Towers had been proposed for the city, it was designed to be 312 meters or 1022 feet tall, however that project had been cancelled as it cannot be approved, after that also in 2007 another supertall One Bayfront Plaza was proposed, it is the first supertall skyscraper got approved in the city, however the tower still hasn't got built till today, not cancelled as well, it has gone through several changes in design and height. Aside from New York City and Chicago, Miami is another American city that filled with tons of skyscrapers, in terms of the buildings with heights of above 150 meters, Miami has 43, ranking 3rd in United States in this respect, only after New York and Chicago.Īs for supertalls which is the main subject to discuss for this post, though no supertall has been built in the city currently, Miami is not lacking for supertall proposals.
