Tag: Largest Menorah in the World

 
The Jewish festival of lights is especially festive this year in Downtown Miami. The World’s Tallest Electric Menorah is casting its sparkly LED glow over the Magic City from Paramount Miami Worldcenter, which rises 700 feet over Downtown Miami.

“The world’s tallest electronic menorah is a shining beacon of celebration,” says T.J. Sabo, Chief Design Officer of the Royal Palm Companies real estate firm – developer of the Paramount Miami Worldcenter.

Sabo continues, “The menorah signifies the triumph of light over darkness and is a symbol of truth and justice and the belief in a higher being. It is also a gleaming signal of solidarity with all oppressed people around the world.”

The building, which was completed in 2019, features the world’s most technologically-advanced LED animation system. The customizable lighting panels span the center column of the development vertically, expanding across the 300-foot-wide rooftop crown. This height is the equivalent of two and a half football fields stacked vertically.

Combined, the panels have 16,000 LED’s embedded in 10,000 panes of impact-resistant glass, which also protects the building and its residents in the event of hurricane winds. With a cost of $3 million, the animation lighting system can create a combination of 16.2 million colors! It took a team of 12 technicians three years to install the system, and their efforts are certainly paying off today!

For this display, the words “Happy Hanukkah” run the vertical length of the building with the lustrous image of the menorah and eight flickering candles across the rooftop crown, transitioning into a mosaic of digital dreidels streaking across the sky and then morphing into a brilliant burst of six-pointed Stars of David dancing on the building. Video footage can be found here.

Beginning Sunday, December 18 and continuing for the eight nights of Hanukkah, viewers can witness the display every morning before dawn and from sunset through midnight at Paramount Miami Worldcenter 851 NE First Avenue in Downtown Miami. For those who wish to take their own photos, the best angle is to be found at NE 8th Street and North Miami Avenue or from the top of the Bayfront Parking Garage.

Paramount Miami Worldcenter is no stranger to making a splash. It is considered to be the most heavily-amenitized residential tower in the United States with multiple amenity decks containing an outdoor soccer field, two tennis courts, bungalows, gardens, a rooftop observatory, resort-style pools, walking paths, a game room, an indoor basketball court, a boxing studio, a golf simulator, 26 pool-side cabanas, and a “skyport”, a landing area for flying cars.

Prices in the building currently range from the mid $500,000’s up to $11 million, or $2,800 to $32,000/month as rentals.
