Downtown Miami · One hundred stories
Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami
A hundred stories, under a name that outlasted the century that made it.
A hundred stories, under a name that outlasted the century that made it.
One hundred stories in Downtown Miami, ~360 branded residences, and unobstructed water on three sides. Height like this is not a design decision, it is a zoning position that almost nothing else on the coast holds.
Property Markets Group, with Greybrook Realty Partners, S2 Development and Mohari Hospitality, commissioned Carlos Ott as conceptual artist with Sieger Suarez as architect of record, interiors by BAMO and Studio Ramirez, and Hilton Worldwide managing the property. What follows is the record, and our read of it.
Downtown Miami has never had a building at this height, and the reason is not ambition, it is entitlement. A hundred story residential tower requires a site, an approval, and an airspace position that the rest of the coast does not have. Whatever else is true about this project, the altitude is not reproducible next door.
The brand is the second half. Waldorf Astoria is not a hospitality label invented for a launch cycle, it is a name with a century behind it, managed here by Hilton with the residential service platform that comes with it. Carlos Ott's stacked form gives the tower a silhouette that reads from every approach to the city, which matters more at this scale than any interior finish.
The caution is the same as the appeal. A 100 story branded tower with ~360 residences is a large building, and buyers who want a boutique count of neighbours will not find it here. What they will find is the deepest service platform and the most recognisable name on the skyline.
The tallest position on the Miami skyline, under a name that has outlived every trend it ever hosted.
The tower carries the widest range of any building in our coverage, from furnished junior suites to four bedroom residences.
The junior suites arrive finished and furnished, which makes them the simplest entry into a branded tower of this scale.
This is the part a branded residence is actually bought for, and the part that is hardest to compare on a floor plan.
