MIAMI | Okan Tower | 893 FT | 70 FLOORS

Yeah it doesn't include Casa Bella so really 16 and CTBUH is always outdated and requires community engagement to keep lists up to date sadly.

I wouldn't be suprirsed if NYC is missing 1 U/C project on the list too, but they tend to keep NYC more updated.

Oh nice. And I like to count Baccarat as two

Miami and NYC have 14 U/C.




But yeah like BrickellBased mentioned Miami needs a lot of U/C like Toronto, at least 30 U/C per construction cycle to overtake Chicago imo. But really numbers shouldn't be a goal, Miami should have extensive rail like Chicago and aim to build around those rail corridors with dense housing.

Also this doesn't consider if Chicago has another building boom, which it most likely will.. well because it's Chicago!

You forgot Cipriani Tower (940 FT) u/c. Also, very soon, we will have One Brickell City Centre (977 FT), and 1428 Brickell (861 FT) u/c.

[BrickellBased]

For sure.

Check this awesome rundown from Altoic. https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...postcount=4781

Another 4 in site prep that haven't been mentioned either from that list. Miami can def hit 20+ soon.

Okan Tower Prepares For Massive 1,200 Truck Concrete Foundation Pour In Downtown Miami

A team of 300 workers, operating in three shifts and utilizing 1,200 concrete trucks, is set to pour the foundation for Okan Tower, a forthcoming 70-story highrise development at 555 North Miami Avenue developed by Okan Group. Positioned to be a new landmark in Downtown Miami’s skyline, the tower is expected to reach 902 feet, making it one of the city’s tallest buildings upon completion in 2027. Okan Tower’s distinct architectural design aims to contribute a defining feature to Miami’s cityscape.

On Friday, March 29, at 9:00 PM, Jacob Companies, in a joint venture with Okan Construction, is scheduled to undertake a continuous 36-hour concrete pour............click link above for more

Thanks for posting - this is what we live for lol. I wouldn't have known otherwise.

I've never heard of a 1000+ truck pour. But I guess they exist.

36 hours is wild. That's a truck every 1 minute and 48 seconds for 36 hours...

Says they start 9 pm Friday. I'll grab some photos Saturday.

Woot!!

[BrickellBased]

Geeking out now.

Says it is 12,000 cubic yards. For reference I furiously googled a bit

21,200 cyd - Wilshire Grand (they had a marching band) - largest continuous concrete pour ever
20,927 cyd - Burj Khalifa
12,000 cyd - Okan Tower
12,000 cyd - SalesForce San Francisco
5,000 cyd - Signature Bridge Center Pier
5,000 cyd - Trump Tower Chicago
4,000 cyd - Vista Tower Chicago
4,000 cyd - One Vanderbilt NYC

Obviously geology is a big influence, not just height. But this has to be one of if not the largest ever for Miami?

Edit: So more research. Panorama was quite large. Says 14,677 cyds but only 11,737 continuous. So if this is continuous this may be a new Florida record.

Soon to be the tallest residential building on the eastern seaboard south of New York, the Panorama Tower will overlook Miami’s beautiful skyline from 83 stories up. A total of 14,677 cubic yards of concrete was used as Cemex undertook the largest mat pour in Florida. The continuous pour of 11,737 cubic yards was a Miami record. The 20.5-hour pour required about 1,200 truckloads at a delivery rate of 572 cubic yards per hour. The project is expected to be completed toward the end of 2017 and cost about $800 million. Panorama Tower is a mixed-use development strategically located at the epicenter of the Brickell financial district.

And then there's the ChatGPT way

While it's challenging to provide an exhaustive list with exact numerical sizes, here are some notable examples of large continuous concrete pours in construction history:

Wilshire Grand Center, Los Angeles, USA: In February 2014, the Wilshire Grand Center set a record for the largest continuous concrete pour. Approximately 21,200 cubic yards of concrete were poured over a period of 18 hours to form the building's foundation and core.

One World Trade Center, New York City, USA: During the construction of One World Trade Center, a continuous pour of approximately 13,200 cubic yards of concrete was conducted in 2007 for the foundation and lower levels of the building.

Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: The construction of the Petronas Towers involved a continuous concrete pour of about 13,000 cubic yards for the foundation of each tower.

Dubai Mall, UAE: The Dubai Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the world, required a continuous concrete pour of approximately 12,500 cubic yards for its foundation.

Panama Canal Expansion Project: In 2014, the Panama Canal expansion project involved a continuous concrete pour of about 10,000 cubic yards for the construction of the new locks.

Huntsville Unit, Texas, USA: During the construction of a maximum-security prison unit in Texas in 1997, a continuous concrete pour of approximately 9,000 cubic yards was conducted for the foundation and walls.

Apple Campus 2, Cupertino, USA: The construction of Apple's headquarters involved a continuous concrete pour of around 9,000 cubic yards for the foundation of the main building.

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore: The Marina Bay Sands integrated resort required a continuous concrete pour of about 8,500 cubic yards for its foundation.

1000+ truck pour... 36 hours!?!?

[BrickellBased]

~ 7:45 pm 03/30/2024 - "Proof of Pour"

Pour started 9:00 pm 03/29/2024

Scheduled to complete 9:00 am 03/31/2024

Lots of police downtown directing traffic for the pour.

[BrickellBased]

^ Gotta love that pink 'Miami' boom

[Altoic]

Wow, thank you for capturing this historic pour! Another new tall one in the making!

And to think only 3 months ago that this project was thought to be toast because it was on hold.

Downtown MIA and Miami Worldcenter have to be one of the most active development regions in the country besides Rainey St in Austin.

[BrickellBased]

No prob! Speaks to my amount of free time on a Saturday night

Added another one above I forgot first time around.
