Report: 340 Biscayne Scheduled For Auction

An auction is scheduled next week for the property at 340 Biscayne Boulevard, according to The Real Deal.

The auction date is December 17, a public notice says.

In 2014, plans were filed with Miami’s UDRB for the 77-story World Trade Center of the Americas on the site.

The proposal included eight floors of office, ten floors of hotel, and 40 floors of residential, along with a parking garage and ground floor retail.

In 2015, the FAA approved the building at a height of 969 feet above ground, or 980 feet above sea level. The approval was reissued in 2018, but may have now expired.

A Holiday Inn is currently on the site.

I hope we get an amazing highrise there, the one proposed looks beautiful.

Two supertalls identical in height directly next to each other would look horrible – no matter how nice the design.

Then it should be taller and pointy!

It would look really amazing actually to have 10 of them in a row – all the same height. That would look really good!

Even tearing down the Holiday Inn Express is an improvement at this point. If I paid millions to live next door, I wouldn’t want to be next to a flophouse.

That Holiday Inn’s got to go, a supertall would be terrific but also a shorter building would be ok

Shorter would be preferred. Multiple buildings of the same exact height directly next to each other is not a pleasing look despite what people in these comments are advocating for

As supertall there would be amazing!! It could look like billionair row in Manhattan!

Yeah…that kind of proves my point.
Thats a picture of 220 Central Park South and Central Park Tower.

1. Dramatic height difference. One is 952′, the other is 1,550′. Over a 500′ height difference as opposed to two 1,000′ towers.

2.They are not even on the same street.

Now imagine them being the same exact height and being positioned directly next to each other. It would look like shit and thats why NYC has the air rights system that it does.

Those buildings are not only not next to each other they are not even on the same road – and they are completely different heights…

Billionaires row doesn’t have supertalls directly adjacent to each other. They are separated by multiple lots.

Not to mention the height difference keeps it interesting. Miami is going to have a tabletop skyline of 1000’ buildings

Then they should build it taller than Waldorf Astoria!

no it wont. There needs to be enough space between the buildings

Nice building but it’s odd to call it a world trade center when it’s less than half office.

PMG should buy the property and build another super tall tower

The Waldorf Astoria’s immediate wall to the north… Hope it’s beautiful and has a spear !

Architects need to put on their thinking caps. They are ways to make big boxes in the sky interesting and relevant to the ideal image of Miami. Imagine if Mykonos had grey buildings. No one would go there. Miami still has the image of a warm tropical vibe. Architects! … Why have grey or dark in your 🎨 palettes. West Brickell is a newly minted urban hi-rise neighborhood and its is thoughtless, cheep and ugly. How could this have happened? We can do better

I wish the approved tower were built… I mean, if Related can recycled projects from ten years ago (One Brickell, Auberge, etc.), so can anybody.

The amounts of comments supporting two identical height towers right next to each other, makes me question this site’s users

Two supertalls next to each other would look like poor city planning. Not to mention block each others view

It looks great in NYC…

There are no examples of this in NYC. If one world trade was directly next to 111 W 57th they would look horrible.

Hudson Yards, Billionaire’s Row and Queensboro Plaza are all examples of that.

Anon

Have you looked at Hudson Yards? Do you not see the different heights?

Do you not see that maxing out heights on every lot on Biscayne would result in a wall of 1,000′ buildings – and not the nice cluster of varying heights you are referring to? (like Hudson Yards)

Anon

Is Hudson Yards a single row of equally proportioned high-rises? Didn’t think so.

The original WTC towers were right next to each other.

Anon

That was a singular development of two identical twin towers amongst a variety of other buildings.

Hey – if you are OK with the tabletop skyline developing on Biscayne that’s fine by me.

Yes but as ironically obvious as that seems, that site was very large and they were much farther apart than these adjacent addresses.

New York city has one of the most dynamic skylines in the world. Miami is developing a tabletop. If that’s what ya’ll want then great, because thats what youre getting

NYC can pull it off because they are 100 years ahead of Miami in terms of skycrapers. In Miami, it would look stupid

Despite the inflow of new residents, there are still a lot of stupid people here in Miami, who advocate for terrible ideas, whose value has generally been disproven.

To be honest another supertall directly next to the Waldorf would look horrible
