People go to Miami to relax in the shade of tall palm trees and warm their feet in the soft surf. But very soon new skyscrapers from top developers will overshadow the slender trees because their tops will indeed be difficult to find among the clouds. Incredible ideas come to the minds of modern architects, supported by their desire to give the world something that it has not yet seen. The Kiev real estate market looks rather modest compared to Miami, which is much larger in height than in breadth. But this is precisely its charm - we need skyscrapers not in order to make the city more attractive, but in order to admire the beauty of its endless expanses.
Which skyscrapers warm the hot sun of Miami
📍 The Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences, 330 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida, USA 🌴
If you believe the loud statements of the developer PMG, the complex The Waldorf Astoria will not be just another skyscraper, and the tallest building in Miami and Florida in general. It can be seen from any part of the city due to its prime location in its business center, opposite Bayfront Park. The building will not only have separate apartments, but also hotel rooms. They will join the collection of the Waldorf Astoria chain, which is part of Hilton Hotels. The icing on the cake will be a 5-storey penthouse with an area of over 2,800 m². The Waldorf Astoria will stand out sharply in the city's skyline not only in its height, but also in its shape. The architects were inspired by ordinary boxes, which in real life seem simple and unremarkable, but in the world of real estate they look catchy and unusual. The complex will also consist of 9 such giant cubes, each of which will have 10-11 floors.

Capital high-rises that can easily be confused with Miami skyscrapers
📍 Chicago Central House, Kyiv, st. Antonovicha (formerly Gorky), 44 🇺🇦
Although this Chicago is not located on the shores of Lake Michigan, this makes it no less popular among citizens and tourists. The leading Ukrainian developer SAGA Development has put into its project the vision of what a modern metropolis should be like. The huge glass cube located on the first floors has become a real magnet for those who like to take pictures against an extravagant background. The decoration of the building is dominated by glass and metal, thanks to which it fits into the architectural style of the capital, combining futurism and classics.
