Raising Stakes

Renderings unveiled of Miami's future tallest skyscraper

Tibor Hollo, developer and president of Florida East Coast Realty (FECR), recently indicated a 40-month construction timeline for One Bayfront Plaza, a 92-story tower in downtown Miami designed by New York City–based Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF).

In an interview with The Next Miami, Hollo referred to the project as “the building of the future,” touting its 104,000 square feet of retail space and direct connection to the Metromover transit station across Biscayne Boulevard. The tower will stand 1,049 feet tall, curtailed only by the Federal Aviation Administration which limits the maximum buildable height in Miami’s urban area. However, despite this limitation, One Bayfront Plaza will be Miami’s tallest tower, soaring a couple hundred feet higher than the imminent Panorama Tower, which will apex at 868 feet when completed. (Miami-based Arqitectonica is also designing an 80-story tower in nearby Brickell, though no word on its exact height yet.)

Apart from its superlative height, the tower also breaks formal ranks: It’s shaped with sinuous contours that contrast with the rectilinear silhouettes of downtown. The tower starts as a triangle at the base and seemingly twists as it rises into the air. According to Hollo, the tower will house more than 900 living units, a 200-key hotel, and 532,000-square-feet of office space. Construction is set to begin in January 2019.
