Development Group
Proposes World’s Tallest
Building
Miapolis. It sounds like
a city you’d find in a
comic strip. But it
won’t be fiction if one
development group has
its way.
The group proposes
building the world’s
tallest
building—Miapolis--which
at 3,200 feet and 160
stories would eclipse
the recently-completed
Burj Khalifa in Dubai .
According to the
project’s Web site,
Miapolis would rise on
the current site of
Jungle Island , a
tourist attraction.
Plans call for an
amusement park, a trade
center, an observatory,
shopping areas,
restaurants, 1,050
condominiums, 1 million
square feet of office
space, a 792-room hotel
and a 300-slip marina.
Although the Miapolis
Web site contains a list
of respected firms said
to be involved in the
project, local experts
question whether the
massive endeavor will
succeed.
“[The developer] has
been trying to sell this
for the past five
years,” said Michael Y.
Cannon, a local market
analyst and executive
director of Integra
Realty Resources in
Miami . He cited
“financing,
marketability of use,
and whether it’s the
highest and best use of
the land” as challenges
for the project.
“Sometimes bigger is not
better,” Cannon added.
“I compliment him on his
dream, but maybe this is
not the place to have
the tallest building in
the world.” Still, the
Miapolis Web site is
seeking investors
willing to put up a “low
five figure investment”
for “a preferred return
and an equity
participation.” |
