Want to experience the breathtaking New York skyline but with a view of the beach and ocean at the same time? Say no more, as the tallest residential building in the south of The Big Apple is soon to rise in Miami, Florida.
It is after five-star hotel company Waldorf Astoria announced that they are about to conquer the so-called "Magic City" and offer luxurious residential units for the Miami Market.
The Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami will be located at 300 Biscayne Boulevard will have a jaw-dropping 100-stories or at least 1,049 feet above Biscayne Bay. This only means that the units will offer picturesque and unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay, the Port of Miami, Brickell Avenue, Downtown Miami, Key Biscayne, and South Beach.
The tallest residential building's future residents and guests will enjoy a few-minute ride to the new Miami World Center, cultural, arts, tourism, and fashion attraction.
The developer has purchased the two-acre lot where the ambitious building will rise seven years ago for $80 million.
Private Residence with Guest Rooms
The new Miami residential building will be divided into two divisions: 205 units for guests on the 7th to 16th floor and 26th to 31st floor, and a total of 360 private residences on the 40th to 100th floor.
The five-star hotel will feature luxurious amenities, including indoor/outdoor pre-function spaces, a pool deck with private cabanas, a spa, a fitness center, and a restaurant called Peacock Alley.
While the construction of the tallest residential building in Miami has yet to start, developers PMG and Greybrook Realty Partners announced the sales start last week.
The residential units, which price tag starts at 1 million dollars, are expected to have one to four-bedroom units with a size ranging from 500 to 3,500 square feet. The cost will drop anywhere from $1,100 to $2,500 per-square-foot.

Transforming Miami
Based on the press release from Waldorf Astoria, the soon-to-rise Miami residential building is described as "nine spiraling offset glass cubes" that "will transform Miami's skyline and distinguish the property's architecture from anything on the East Coast."
The world-renowned architect Carlos Ott collaborated with Sieger Suarez in designing the massive structure in Downtown Miami. Based on the rendered photos, the building resembles nine stacked glass cubes that are offset.
"The unique nature of this project largely comes from not only creating an iconic building but a distinguished sculpture that would permanently alter Miami's skyline with height and design never seen before," Ott said, as reported by ABC's Local 10.
Carlos Ott is the architect behind the world-famous Burj Al Arab in Dubai and other astonishing residential buildings in Miami, including the Echo Brickell, Echo Aventura, and Muse Sunny Isles.
