Canada-based Sieger Suarez Architects has collaborated with Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott to design this 1,049-foot-tall (320 meters) tower, which is considered the highest tower planned and designed in Miami. Dubbed 'The Waldorf Astoria', the building is a luxury residential project at 300 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami, USA, containing 100 storeys. The project is scheduled to be finished in 2026.

Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects and Carlos Ott in association with PMG- the developer behind the skinniest skyscraper- 111 W 57th Street recently in Manhattan. The project features luxury condos, with prices starting at $1 million. San Francisco-based interiors studio Bamo has done the interiors for the hotel's public spaces.
Nine Stacked Cubes Define The Tower
Located at Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami, the building features nine offset cubes highlighting its height and suspension. The idea was to create an iconic structure that defies the law of gravity, as per Carlos Ott. Hence, different blocks are stacked in different positions to develop distinct designs. Each block creates unique views from each area. The exterior of each cube is flat and covered with "Glass Skin."
However, such slender structures require a concrete central core to handle the torsion caused by the location's strong winds.

What Does it Accommodate?
The structure comprises private residences as well as a five-star hotel, both managed by Hilton Management Services. The project will have One-, two-, three- and four-bedroom suites. Each residence will feature floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of the Miami skyline.
The ground level contains a 10-storey parking area, while other amenities like restaurants, a resort-style pool, meeting spaces, a residents-only lobby, a cabana, a fitness center and a full spa will be positioned in the upper cubes.
According to the developers, the project has already got approval and will break ground this year. The expected completion year of the project is 2026.
