After being approved by Miami's Urban Development Review Board, Aimco is looking to get FAA approval to 751 feet for the redevelopment of 1111 Brickell Bay Drive called 1111 Brickell.

The existing building will be redeveloped into a hotel with 250 rooms and 178 residential units. The second phase will include a 751 foot tower, up from the original 690 feet height, with over 572 residential units.

Views From The Tallest Building In Miami - Panorama Tower

Panorama Tower is getting closer to topping out and is currently on the 81st floor of construction. The building has surpassed the Four Seasons Miami as the tallest building in Miami and when Panorama Tower tops out, it will reach 83 stories and 868 feet.

Previously, we showed views from the 57th floor, the 67th floor and now in the photos below, we show the views from the 81st floor. Panorama Tower has no doubt the best views in the city as you can see Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Sunny Isles Beach and even as far away as Fort Lauderdale from top. The last two floors, the 82nd and 83rd, will hold all the mechanical units of the building.

The hoist has been removed from the hotel, which will be a Hyatt Centric and most of the hotel rooms are nearly finished.

Genting has proposed building a 300 room hotel over the Omni Station bus terminal, according to The Miami Herald. 

County Commissioners approved the proposal giving Genting a 90 year lease for the public land. Part of the approval meant Genting will renovate the existing Metromover station on NE 15th Street. If the project gets built, then NE 14th Terrace would be permanently closed and the hotel would be built over a rebuilt bus terminal.

Genting Group purchased the surrounding 14 acre site for $236 million in 2011, which included the old Miami Herald building with plans to build a casino that never materialized.
