Miami Set to Add Two Super-Tall Luxury Condo-Hotel Towers

9/2/2026, 8:41:07 PM

New Super-Tall Projects on a Single Block

Downtown Miami will soon host two of the nation’s tallest residential towers. The Waldorf Astoria Miami, a 100-story, 1,049-foot tower, is slated for completion in 2028 and will contain 387 condo units plus 205 hotel rooms operating under the Hilton flag. Adjacent to it, the 90-story Delano Residences & Hotel Miami will rise 985 feet, offering 421 luxury rental and condo-hotel units, with 266 hotel suites managed by Ennismore and Accor Group. Both towers will sit on the same block in the Brickell district, directly opposite the under-construction 950-foot Ciprani Residences.

Project Details and Market Position

The Waldorf Astoria Miami will be the nation’s 20th-tallest building, edging out New York’s Chrysler Building by three feet. Its condos start at $3.15 million, while the top-floor penthouse is listed at $50 million. The developer, Property Markets Group (PMG), reports deposits on roughly 90 % of the Waldorf units. The Delano tower will add a 985-foot “all-glass” Art Deco-style structure, expanding Miami’s luxury inventory alongside existing high-rise landmarks such as the 868-foot Panorama Tower.

Developer Perspective

Ryan Shear, managing partner at PMG, emphasizes sustained buyer interest.

  • “We continue to see strong demand for luxury condominiums in Florida, and I think that demand is becoming more sophisticated,” — Ryan Shear
  • “There's room in Miami for a range of projects,” — Ryan Shear
  • “Topping off is expected to occur later this fall as planned.” — Ryan Shear

Shear notes that the market has become “incredibly diverse,” with each project crafted to appeal to distinct buyer preferences.

Data Summary

  • Waldorf Astoria Miami: 1,049 ft, 100 stories, 387 condos, 205 hotel rooms, completion 2028.
  • Delano Residences & Hotel Miami: 985 ft, 90 stories, 421 units, 266 hotel suites.
  • Current tallest Florida building: Ciprani Residences Miami, 950 ft, topped out in July 2023.

Implications for Miami’s Real Estate Landscape

The twin towers will push Miami’s skyline higher than any structure south of Manhattan and reinforce the city’s status as a global luxury-condo market. PMG argues that adding high-quality products expands buyer choice and strengthens Miami’s appeal as a destination, potentially influencing future development patterns across the region.
