My state has one building that is technically a skyscraper at 385 feet(117.3). Despite our mid sized metro and having a small skyline, I wonder where a 40 story 550 feet tall building would fit in our downtown. I went before the city council and suggested an icon such as the Gateway Arch, the Seattle Space Needle, or the Washington Monument etc.
WOW. So if I were to move back to So. Flo. (not a chance in hell), I wouldn't even think of moving into one of these. Obviously, the greed factor is so high that there doesn't appear to be even one party that would be involved in the zoning, approval, design and construction of one of these skyscrapers that is thinking of the tenants/future of the buildings. I guess they assume that by the time a disaster unfolds, they'll either be long gone or living elsewhere under a fake name. Florida is sinking. Has been and will continue to do so. The ground will be absorbing water which, as we all know, corodes materials that are critical to the structural integrity of the entire building. Many cities that have built up are experiencing this around the globe, so I KNOW they are aware. But because the politicians in Florida are as greedy as the builders, they are ALL turning a blind eye and playing the odds with human lives at stake. I guarantee you that NO person involved would live there. It may be okay for a decade or 2, but thats when things will begin to make headlines and from that point on, every day is a dice roll. Tick tock. Tick tock.
Literally every city with skyscrapers comprise of expensive hotels and homes. I live in Japan and every skyscraper is usually mansions shared with shops
Condos are more important since it means people live there. A true mixed used city. Unlike most cities where streets with skyscrapers are empty after 5pm
Building the residential buildings is smart, it keeps people in that neighborhood versus communizing and clogging up the highways. Also, Miami is like Manhattan, the wetlands around Miami restrict it’s urban sprawl so building up makes sense.
@@bobcortez9471 Miami is nothing like Manhattan... it's an urban sprawl wasteland without any smart planning. If we really wanted to get serious about highway traffic we would have expanded Metrorail in all corridors throughout the county along existing freight train tracks that are no longer in use. For a city with so many condos, they can't even keep up with the demand for parking with the limited amount of parking garages downtown now. Backwards and short sighted as always.
This Is Miami

My project would be 500 feet to the observation area and 550 to 580 feet to the very top. I would want it to be 2 or 3 miles outside of downtown.
*SKYSCRAPERS ARE NOT AFFORDABLE HOUSING LOL*
WHY Miami, whyyyyyyyyyyy
Affordable housing = lip service

Bigger is not better 😢glad I left, Miami is trying to be another Shanghai or Dubai.
No one cares
thanks I probably took your spot lol
Idk if you know but Shanghai and Dubai all copied us 😂
You can live in Miami and not live in south Miami. It's a big city. I know cause I lived in North Miami. It's far from downtown
@@ButterflyG673 No they didn't.... Shanghai had skyscrapers before the 21st century and Miami is a small city in comparison in height and density.
Miami stopped feeling like a city.... feels like an very overpriced unending condo block...
What's a city supposed to feel like then ? Maybe you meant it stopped feeling like a suburb.

Miami is operating at the forefront of the unfolding of history and it is dragging everyone to the future with it - growing pains be damned
Miami is a joke. The skyscrapers there are not even real skyscrapers they are condos.

@@danmcclaren5436 You clearly have never been to a real US city then. Miami also has the highest rate of empty/unoccupied condos in the country.

umm skyscrapers can be any building. It can even be a fake building.
Miami is full of overpriced Condos. The average person isn't staying there, I promise you.
