The Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences is a supertall skyscraper currently under construction in Miami, Florida. It will be the tallest building in the entire Southern United States. It is being constructed on the former site of the once-proposed Empire World Towers, which were proposed and ultimately cancelled in the 2000s. It will be the tallest building in the southeastern United States, surpassing the 1,020-foot (311 m) Bank of America Plaza in Atlanta, and the 1,030-foot (314 m) Waterline tower nearing completion in Austin, Texas.

The building is planned to rise to the maximum allowable height in downtown Miami of 1,049 ft (320 meters) above sea level, or about 1,040 ft (317 meters) above ground, [1] [2] making it easily the tallest building in Miami and Florida, surpassing the Panorama Tower built in 2017. Construction began in late 2022 and is expected to top out in 2026 and be completed by January 2028. It is located on Biscayne Boulevard between NE 3rd and 4th Streets in the Central business district of Greater Downtown Miami, across from Bayfront Park. The design is inspired by stacked and cantilevered boxes; it will have nine such cubes with 10 to 11 floors each, comprising nearly 100 stories of condominium and hotel space, topped by a five floor penthouse with over 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) [3] It is named after the Waldorf Astoria New York in New York City; worldwide Waldorf Astoria hotels are managed under the Hilton Hotels group.
All one bedroom apartments in the skyscraper have been sold before construction was even completed. Prices now start at $3.3 million for a two bedroom apartment. [4] The five story, 33,000+ square foot penthouse atop of the structure was also sold for an undisclosed amount. It is the largest residential unit south of New York City. [5]
