Miami’s skyline constantly changes as new buildings are added, and old ones torn down. There’s a new addition officially on the way now – Skyline Miami. It will tower 1,000 feet over the South Florida metropolis, commanding stunning views over the city as well as out over Biscayne Bay and the ocean. Construction of the tower wasn’t always a sure thing, though. (VIEW all Miami Preconstruction Projects Here)
The Ayes Have It
Before SkyRise Miami got the green light for construction, creation of the tower had to be approved. However, it wasn’t just city commissioners that had to sign off on the project. The residents of Miami themselves were given the chance to vote yes or no. Thankfully, the project received overwhelming support with more than 70% of early and absentee voters marking the “aye” column. The victory was celebrated later that night at a private party thrown by Jeffrey Berkowitz at Bayside Marketplace. Incidentally, the tower will be constructed beside the market.
Up, Up and Away
Construction on SkyRise Miami has already begun, with utility reconfiguring starting in early September, 2014. Once utilities have been reconfigured, construction can begin on the tower’s base, which will take an estimated nine months to complete. That’s just the beginning, though. Once the foundation is finished, the developers have to tackle the bulk of the project – the 1,000-foot high observation tower and all the niceties that will go along with it. Completion of the project is estimated hopefully in early 2018, so it will be another four years or so before Miamians actually have the chance to ascend the tower and enjoy the view.
