A Construction Update For The Waldorf Astoria Miami Residences (And Some Bonus History)

Posted on by Sarah Elles Boggs

 
We last checked in on the construction progress at the anticipated Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami back in the springtime. Since then, Developer PMG and Contractor Moriarty been hard at work getting ready for the tallest tower South of New York to rise 100 floors over Downtown Miami. It is time for another update.

They are currently wrapping up their site work and have started obtaining permits for the next phase. Permits for three tower cranes have been approved, two at 1255-feet, one at 365-feet above ground level. Work orders have gone out with anticipation of installing the cranes before October 24, according to The Next Miami. They are approved to remain until August 23, 2027.

At this rate, we could potentially see vertical construction earlier than the anticipated Q-1 of 2024 date.

Hyper-Reality Meta Tours Of The Finished Project

In the interim of being able to tour the project in-person, the developer has partnered with YUPIX Meta-Reality to allow buyers a hyper-reality tour in their sales gallery.

The construction process is expected to last until late 2027 and the 360 private residences are already 88% sold. They were able to sell 50% of the homes before construction even began, marking the desirability of a statement tower like this from a brand like Waldorf Astoria in Downtown Miami.

Stand-Out Features

The residences range in size from studios up to four-bedroom layouts and are trimmed out with elegant design aspects that adhere to the Waldorf Astoria brand specifics. These include marble walls in the primary bathroom, dual vanities and dual shower heads.

Waldorf Astoria Miami has taken this a step further by adding two shower heads plus a Swedish rain shower in the primary shower, a separate MTI soaking tub looking out over the city and Biscayne Bay, and crystal-adorned Dornbracht plumbing fixtures that are unblushingly luxurious.

Other features of the residences that stand out are drop-down televisions in every primary suite and since the building is constructed without exterior columns, the floor-to-ceiling impact windows envelope the entire home for an uncompromised view.

On the terraces, you will find electric summer kitchens and plenty of room for entertaining. Since the building is so tall on the coastline, the terraces are partially enclosed with impact glass panels. This allows stoppage from the winds that can occur so high in the sky and a peaceful entertaining experience again, without compromising any views.

Peacock Alley

One of the many brand-specific amenities that will be offered is a historic Peacock Alley on the 19th floor. Every one of the 34 Waldorf Astoria Hotels in the world has one and Miami’s will not disappoint. With triple-height ceilings it features dramatic gold lighting fixtures that are inspired by clocks and are suspended above the lounge.

The history behind Peacock Alley is that in 1893, the first Waldorf Astoria was comprised of two buildings that were connected by a beautiful and luxurious corridor. In that day, the elite would dress in dramatic luxury, particularly the ladies. The gentlemen jokingly referred to the corridor as Peacock Alley since the ladies would venture back and forth between the amenities of the two tower.

In 1929, the hotel was demolished to make way for the Empire State Building and in 1931 reopened in it’s new Park Avenue location. This is where Peacock Alley began being added as an eatery and lounge in every Waldorf Astoria thus far.

Although, as mentioned above, the project is 88% spoken-for, there are some purchase opportunities available with prices ranging from the $4 million range for studios up to $43 million for a penthouse.

Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Downtown Miami Construction Update

Posted on by Sarah Elles Boggs

 
Site work for the Waldorf Astoria Residences in Downtown Miami is well underway and on track with the developer’s construction timeline, according to an update received today. In addition, a construction loan has been issued for the project provided by Mack Real Estate Credit Strategies.

The issuance of the construction loan is a notable milestone in any development, indicating the strength of the developer as well as the project itself. Most construction loans are collateralized by contracts and deposits on the pre-sold  residences, which are typically offered at more reasonable prices to those investors who are able and willing to make a purchase decision from a simple plan and set of renderings.

Construction lenders also keep an eye on the portfolio of an active developer in order to hedge their risk against the project being started and not completed. Given the fact that Waldorf Astoria was nearly halfway sold far before groundbreaking, the strength of PMG’s portfolio and the fact that a timeless brand such as Waldorf Astoria is putting its name on the building, the construction loan was practically a no-brainer.

“The outpouring of support we’ve received so far from our partners and key lenders has been nothing short of outstanding. It once again underscores Miami’s unprecedented demand for luxury residences and the eagerness from our buyers to explore truly revolutionary projects. We are looking forward to seeing Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences evolve in the coming years and bringing this remarkable living experience to the heart of Miami.” said Ryan Shear, Managing Partner of Property Markets Group.

To prepare for vertical construction, the deep soil mix (DSM) work should be completed by May. From there, foundation piles will go in. The underground infrastructure for temporary power is complete and ready for FPL to activate. We should see the vertical structure begin to rise by the start of 2024.

High rises such as these typically rise at a rate of 1 floor per week, followed by a year to trim out the structure with all of the luxurious finishes you can see pictured in the brochure and have come to expect from a brand like Waldorf Astoria. When all is said and done, closings should begin in early 2027, just in time for the opening of the new Miami Signature Bridge nearby. Prices are set to range from $3.8 million for studios to upwards of $43 million for a penthouse so high, it looks down upon incoming jets.

We are incredibly eager to see this architectural gem come to fruition in our skyline and will keep you abreast of construction updates as the development team progresses.

Waldorf Astoria Miami Residences Announces Groundbreaking Date

Posted on by Sarah Elles Boggs

 
After a slight delay due to weather, Property Markets Group (PMG) has announced the official groundbreaking date for their spectacular new tower in Downtown Miami, the 100-story Waldorf Astoria Miami Residences. On Thursday, October 27, 2022, construction will officially begin on the 1,049-foot skyscraper at 300 Biscayne Boulevard, just across from Bayfront Park.

The design of the tower is as spectacular as the interior of the project. Asymmetrically-stacked cubes will rise in a spiraling form, designed by Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Carlos Ott. The two design powerhouses have previously collaborated on Echo Brickell in the Miami Financial District. Additionally, the cubes will be wrapped in what is known as a “glass skin,” which distinguishes the project from anything else on the East Coast. With the stacked cubes, each apartment will embrace a sweeping view of the bustling Downtown Miami area, Brickell Financial District, Miami Beach as well as the Biscayne Bay, Port Of Miami, Venetian Islands all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.

For the interiors, PMG partnered with BAMO, an award-winning design firm based in San Francisco. They are responsible for the interiors of many different locations of The Four Seasons Resorts including the locations in Dubai, Sao Paulo, Boston, Chicago and Madrid. For The Ritz Carlton brand, they designed the location in Chicago and lest we not forget The Palace Hotel in New York. They have created an environment that captivates the flow and function of guests, allowing them to feel more welcome, at ease and inspired to live and dream more fully.

“The highly-anticipated groundbreaking of Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Miami sets a new tone and new standard for development here in Miami. The market is thriving and projects like this are coming to life to meet the demand from our luxury audience,” said Ryan Shear, Managing Partner of PMG. “Working with our partners and the Hilton team behind Waldorf Astoria has been incredibly rewarding, and we look forward to continuing our upward momentum.”

With the interesting stacked design of the tower, the designers have broken the building up into cubes.

Cubes 1-3 (floors 1-39) will be hotel components offering 205 hotel suites owned and operated by Waldorf Astoria, in addition to amenities that owners will also have full access to including a grand hotel lobby, resort-style pool deck, a ground-level signature restaurant by Major Food Group, business center, signature spa, state-of-the-art fitness center and much more.

Cubes 4-9 (floors 40-100) will be exclusive to owners and residents with cubes 4-8 offering amenities and residences and cube 9 offering a penthouse collection. There will be a total of 360 privately-owned units in the residential cubes ranging in size from 516 – 12,300 square feet and offering Junior Suite Studios to 4 bedrooms. Units will feature 10-foot and 14-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, Savant smart home automation systems, high-end kitchens with Italian cabinetry and Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, spa-like bathrooms with Dornbracht and Duravit fixtures and expansive terraces with spectacular bay, ocean and city skyline views. Residents will also enjoy exclusive amenities including a private, residential lobby and a 40th-floor pool deck with a swimming pool, whirlpools, lounge areas and a bar/café.

Completion is expected in late 2025.

Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami Already 45% Sold, Six Months Before Groundbreaking

Posted on by Michael Light

 
Sales for Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami launched in the spring of this year, but the highly-anticipated luxury condo/hotel is already 45% sold. At this rate, the building could be a near sellout at groundbreaking in April of 2022. The 100-story tower is on its way to being Miami’s tallest skyscraper and this, combined with the fact that it will be operated by one of the top legendary hoteliers in the world, is making buyers from around the globe take notice.

In fact, I recently sold unit 5302, a 1,491-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom unit, to an international buyer without him ever coming to Miami. This buyer realized the high demand for such a unique project and the value that it will have being located in a city that has become a true global destination, that he put the apartment under contract over Zoom.

The Waldorf Astoria will Soar Over Downtown Miami as Florida’s Tallest Tower

Posted on 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.

If you are interested in learning more about residences at 300 Biscayne or the Waldorf Astoria Miami condo/hotel units, please contact Michael Light, Senior Director of Luxury Sales and Broker Associate at Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
