Miami is about to get its first supertall, and it doesn’t look like anything else on the skyline. The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences will rise 1,049 feet across 100 stories in downtown Miami, a stack of nine staggered glass cubes that reads more like sculpture than tower. The superstructure passed its 75th floor in 2026 and is on track to top out late in the year, with completion slated for January 2028.
Project Scope
The tower blends 387 private residences with 205 hotel guest rooms under the Waldorf Astoria flag. Sieger Suarez Architects designed it in collaboration with Carlos Ott, with interiors by BAMO, and John Moriarty & Associates leads construction. The nine-cube massing isn’t just aesthetic; the staggered volumes break up wind loading on a slender supertall and carve out terraces and mechanical floors between the stacked blocks. The development team is led by Property Markets Group with Greybrook, Mohari Hospitality, and S2 Development.
Why It Matters
Florida has never had a building cross the 1,000-foot supertall threshold. Clearing it in downtown Miami, on a slender bayfront site, is a structural and logistical feat that signals how far the city’s luxury high-rise market has climbed. The cube-stacked form also pushes against the glass-box sameness of most tall residential towers, giving Miami a landmark that’s recognizable from the massing alone.
