The Waldorf Astoria will Soar Over Downtown Miami as Florida’s Tallest Tower Posted on September 30, 2018April 16, 2021 by Michael Light SEE UPDATED 2021 ARTICLE ANNOUNCING WALDORF ASTORIA LAUNCH – CLICK HERE The future of the Downtown Miami skyline got even brighter this week when Property Markets Group, a/k/a ‘PMG,’ announced that it signed a contract to bring the very first Waldorf Astoria to Miami. The Waldorf Astoria Miami will be located in a new ultra-luxe 1,049-foot-tall skyscraper in the epicenter of Downtown Miami at 300 Biscayne Boulevard. In fact, once constructed, this will be the tallest residential tower in Florida, taking over the reign from Panorama Tower which just opened earlier this year in Brickell. Waldorf Astoria, which is owned by Hilton Worldwide Holdings, is truly the world’s most iconic hotel offering 5-star services and an overall rich experience in the most exceptional destinations around the globe including Shanghai, Dubai, Versailles, Amsterdam, New York City and Hawaii. The fact that the Waldorf Astoria has the confidence to bring its first hotel to Miami truly speaks to the future value of Miami and shows that Miami has undeniably become a global hotspot. Miami is not just beautiful beaches anymore, we truly have it all! About 300 Biscayne The New York-based real estate developer PMG officially announced in late 2017 its plans to develop an ultra-luxury condo/hotel tower dubbed “300 Biscayne.” At that time, PMG released renderings of the sleek sophisticated design by Miami-based Sieger Suarez Architects, along with a few details about the project such that it would include a 5-star hotel brand, residences and a unique wellness-focused spa. The developer also began construction on a massive 20,000-SF sales center for the project, but earlier this year in March, announced that it would hold off on starting sales for the 94-story tower until timing was right…a “good cycle” for the luxury pre-construction condo market. Right now, we can only speculate when PMG will officially launch sales for the Waldorf Astoria at 300 Biscayne, but we are hoping that it is sooner than later. Why you ask…because right now New York buyers are coming in droves to South Florida, and this tower is exactly what New York buyers like…sleek sophisticated design-see the staggered glass-cube design, unique/exclusive, ultra luxurious and a hotel component that rivals or arguably tops such other famed hotel brands as Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton and St. Regis.

300 Biscayne | Miami’s Tallest Tower is on the Horizon Posted on November 13, 2017 by Michael Light 300 Biscayne is the newest luxury condo tower on the horizon for Downtown Miami, but this isn’t any regular condo tower, 300 Biscayne will be the tallest tower in Miami, soaring 1,041 feet above ground. Rendering of 300 Biscayne Tower New renderings of 300 Biscayne show off its sleek design that looks like a building you would see in NYC, which is exactly what the Downtown Miami skyline needs! Although it has not been officially released how many units will be included in the new project, the developer, PMG has stated that the new luxury tower will include a 5-star hotel brand and residences and the 2nd wellness-focused spa of its kind. Rendering of 300 Biscayne Tower Downtown Miami Skyline with Rendering of 300 Biscayne Tower The initial approved design plan for 300 Biscayne seems to be much different than what is now planned for the soon-to-be tallest tower south of New York. The initial design, which was approved back in 2015, included 2 simple, rounded towers, connected by multiple walkways and consisted of 500 luxury condo units. But, this new glass, staggered-box design consists of only one tower that looks much more chic and sophisticated than the original design.
