The advancement of vertical construction marks a significant milestone for the iconic Downtown Miami residence, which will set a new standard in luxury condominium living and architectural design in the renowned city. Beyond its striking 9-staggered cube silhouette, the one-of-a-kind tower featuring 331 luxury residences across 100 storeys will boast exceptional lifestyle amenities. As a signature hallmark of the renowned Waldorf Astoria brand, the hotel and residence, which boasts 205 luxury hotel guestrooms, will offer dedicated five-star service and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This spans a resort-style pool with an outdoor café and private cabanas, a private bar and wine tasting room, a signature restaurant, a luxurious spa, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with private training studios, sauna, steam and treatment rooms. Its prime location also provides unparalleled access to a host of cultural attractions, including the Miami Worldcenter—one of the largest urban developments in the U.S., offering the best in shopping, dining, and entertainment.
As a rising global gateway market, Miami offers a unique opportunity to be part of a transformative era in real estate, fueled by innovation, ambition, and a bold vision for the future. Its global connectivity, rich cultural tapestry, thriving business and financial sectors, and the rise of tech companies, combined with its unmatched luxury lifestyle, make it an increasingly compelling hub for investment and living. According to PwC’s Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2025, Miami ranks 2nd among U.S. cities for investment potential and development opportunities.
It’s no surprise that it remains a magnet for luxury real estate, with a steady influx of high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors continuing to drive demand for upscale properties. The 2024 World’s Wealthiest Cities Report by Henley & Partners, which analyzes global investment migration trends, ranks Miami among the world’s Top 50 wealthiest cities. From 2013 to 2023, it saw an extraordinary 78% growth in millionaires, far outpacing other major U.S. cities like New York and Los Angeles.(1) Moreover, Miami also boasts the same number of billionaires as global financial hubs Dubai, Frankfurt, and Dallas. This influx of wealthy newcomers is reshaping the city’s economic and real estate landscape, fueling a sustained luxury residential boom that shows no signs of slowing. Reflecting this demand, in 2023, Miami recorded the highest percentage of luxury residential price increases in the U.S., with prices rising 6.5% year-over-year and sales volumes setting new records each month.(2)
As Miami continues its ascent as a global wealth hub, it stands at the intersection of finance, technology, and real estate innovation, solidifying its status as a premier destination. With an evolving skyline symbolizing the future—The Waldorf Astoria Miami is positioned at the forefront of this transformation, offering residents exclusive access to world-class amenities and opportunities shaping the city’s growth. Upon completion, the 1,049-foot tower, designed by Sieger Suarez Architects, will become the tallest building in Florida, and the tallest hotel and residential tower south of Manhattan. We look forward to showcasing its progress and sharing updates along the way.
