Miami\u2019s skyline is about to change dramatically as several skyscrapers exceeding 984 feet \u2014 the threshold for \u201csupertall\u201d status \u2014 are planned or are under construction in downtown and Brickell. The wave of towers reflects growing demand for luxury real estate and signals Miami\u2019s ambitions as a global city, developers say.<\/p>\n

FULL STORY: \u2018Supertall\u2019 towers are coming to Miami. How will the skyline change?<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are key takeaways:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Miami will be the city\u2019s first supertall at 100 stories and 1,049 feet, with completion expected in 2028.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Several other supertalls are in the pipeline, including the 985-foot Delano Residences Miami, the 1,049-foot Citadel global headquarters and proposed projects like One Bayfront Plaza, Regalia on the Bay, Miami Riverbridge and 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana \u2014 all planned to exceed 1,000 feet.<\/p>\n

\u2022 FAA rules tied to Miami International Airport cap building heights at 1,049 feet in parts of Brickell and downtown. The Waldorf Astoria and Citadel tower will max out that limit and are expected to become the tallest buildings in the Southeast.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Building supertalls is expensive and slow. Strong winds shut down cranes at 35 mph, and construction can take twice as long as shorter skyscrapers, according to PMG managing partner Ryan Shear.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Urban planners say tall towers should include street-level shops and restaurants, and be built near transit hubs to reduce traffic congestion. Several of the planned towers are near the downtown Brightline station or Metrorail.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Miami already has the third most skyscrapers of any U.S. city after New York and Chicago.<\/p>\n
