The Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami, to be located at 300 Biscayne Boulevard, will mark the debut of the Waldorf Astoria brand in Miami. The company, which is owned by Hilton Hotels, operates 30 properties worldwide, including two in Boca Raton, two in Key West and one in Orlando.
Designed by the Miami firm Sieger Suarez Architects, the skyscraper will resemble a pile of unevenly stacked glass cubes. The building is projected to reach 1,049 feet in height, making it one of the tallest in Florida. The current titleholder is the Panorama Tower in Brickell, which stands 868 feet tall.
