The tendence of any market is that it's always changing. Same goes for Miami's real estate market (see downtown Miami real estate listings here). Just by looking at Miami's skyline every 2 months, you will notice the evident changes in the ever-changing skyline. Indeed, the downtown Miami's skyline is already very impressive, changes that are coming in the future will add to this impressive sight, making it look different and better than ever before.
One of the international design and marketing firm Visualhouse, has made a mockup of what they believe the skyline in Miami will look like 14 years in the future. This is based on the development of 11 handpicked projects that have either been approved or are currently being built. These buildings have been placed over the existing buildings to create a futuristic and accurate ideal of what the skyline will look like in the future.
Visualizing the Future
According to the managing director from Visualhouse, Robert Herrick, they work with quite a few developers in the New York and Miami regions. There are quite a few people who go to them when it comes to skyscraper work. This is because as time passes, they are able to create a pretty accurate idea of what the future of the cities is going to look like.
One of the biggest and most prominent projects in all of the Miami area is the 1,000 foot observation tower, which is quite controversial. Being constructed by Jeffrey Berkowitz, this structure would be one of the biggest and tallest towers that was ever built in the Miami area. Currently, this record is held by the 789 foot tower of Four Seasons that was erected back in 2003.
Projects Depicted in the Image
There are 11 planned or in construction projects that are included in this imaging that will impact the Miami skyline in the near future. The ones that have made the cut and that are depicted on the image that has been created can be found here:
• 300 Biscayne
• SkyRise Miami
• Miami World Center
• Villa Magna
• MiamiCentral Station
• Echo Brickell
• One Riverfront
• One Brickell City Center
• The Edge On Brickell
• Brickell Flatiron
• Brickell City Center
These are all towers that are being constructed and that will impact the Miami skyline within the next five to 10 years. The image created by the team at Visualhouse takes into account the size and type of architecture to create a quality image that is realistic and accurate based on the actual sizes of the buildings.
This is not a feat that many design firms could accomplish. There are quite a few factors that must be considered when creating this image in order to make it accurate. A solid knowledge of computer graphics is also required.
While the Miami skyline is ever-changing, this unique look into the future is something that many developers find extremely intriguing. Not only does it let them see what is being done now, but also where there is room for more development and more opportunity.
