Great! Let's hope that this bad boy finally gets built to fruition!

FAA application for 1255 foot tall construction cranes to start climbing in October:

It sure is taking a long time to get this thing cranked up.

Given how slow it's taking 830 Brickell and the Aston Martin Tower to complete, I anticipate this thing only being complete in 10 years. Not sure if it's supply chain issues or if it's just Miami, but skyscrapers are taking a very long time to fully build here.

Sometimes dewatering and site prep take a while (Waldorf, Okan Tower), as examples. Not unique to just Miami. Site prep can sometimes be the longest stage depending on the complexity.

^ Miami has a pretty high water table, so it makes sense this phase would take a while. Better to get it right from the start.

The two 1255ft cranes will start operating in October.

I've never been to Miami and now I have another reason to avoid it.

Putting your fingertips into your armpits and then smelling them seems to be what may become a "Miami salute!"

"But, but, but, It's a Supertall!" seems to be the only reason this monstrosity is underway.

This is currently the tallest tower being constructed outside of NYC, and will also be potentially be beat by 888 Brickell, which is going through sales:

https://888miami.com/ I looked through permitting, no activity as of right now.

Avoiding a city because of a skyscraper seems a bit silly as well as thinking a company is building a hotel/condo just because it's a supertall and not because of the the demand/financial incentives.

Vertical Construction Expected Q1 For Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences
July 19, 2023

The Vertical structure is expected to emerge in the first quarter of 2024, according to an update posted last week on Instagram by a member of the project’s in-house sales team.

Deep soil mixing at the project’s Central Zone has been completed, the update said.
Completion of deep soil mixing will allow for piling work to begin, which is scheduled for early August.

The Waldorf Astoria is expected to become Miami’s first supertall tower, at 100 stories and 1,049 feet.

Pilings for this baby are being drilled 180 feet into fortified ground.

Not really since technically it’s not under construction. That title goes to Waterline in Austin.

Piling/Foundation work is official construction start on this website, so @bobdreamz's statement is correct. Congratulations to Austin though

When they start pouring concrete it will be under construction. I believe piledriving is considered site prep. Not to nitpick though as I’m excited to see this one rise.

Do you have any diagrams from the City of Miami for this building, including section and elevation drawings that you can post here.

[BrickellBased]

What are they doing.

Piling work (boring piling foundations).

[Zapatan]

Good to know this is still going ahead along with hopefully the other new tallest.

After what happened with Okan Tower I was a bit nervous.

[Charmy2]

Is Okan cancelled? Construction on this one has been going on for a while and it's been moving really slow. I do have hope for One Brickell City Centre. Also does anybody know whats going on with the 1 Southside Park project?
