Miami's 75-Story Baccarat Residences Groundbreaking Marks a New Skyline Era

In a momentous event captured on social media, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Baccarat Residences took place last week, marking a significant milestone in Miami's ever-evolving skyline. This towering structure is poised to be Miami's loftiest condominium tower ever, soaring to an astounding 75 stories and standing proudly at 848 feet above the city streets or 852 feet above sea level.

Surpassing the Skies: Topping the Aston Martin Residences

Miami's current condo titan, the Aston Martin Residences tower, can be found just a stone's throw away along the Miami River. As it approaches its final stages of construction, this skyscraper stretches upwards to an impressive 66 stories, reaching a remarkable height of 816 feet above ground level. However, Baccarat Residences is set to ascend even higher, stealing the title of Miami's tallest condo tower.

A Grand Vision Unfolding: Waldorf Astoria and More

Not far from the Baccarat Residences site, construction is well underway for the Waldorf Astoria, an ambitious project destined to grace the cityscape at a staggering 1,041 feet above ground. Yet, unlike Baccarat Residences, this development encompasses a hotel component alongside its residential offerings, making it a distinct addition to the Miami skyline.

Rapid Progress: Baccarat Residences Takes Shape

The Miami Building Department granted a site work permit for Baccarat Residences in September, a pivotal step in bringing this soaring vision to life. Currently, the permit for full vertical construction is making steady progress through the review process, ensuring that this architectural marvel will soon grace the city skyline. John Moriarty, a seasoned contractor, is at the helm of this remarkable project, overseeing the evolution of Miami's iconic skyline.

Neighboring Marvel: The 44-Story Apartment Tower

Notably, the Baccarat Residences site is not the only plot undergoing transformation. In close proximity, a 44-story tower is already under construction, set to provide 506 apartments, further enhancing the city's residential options. As Miami's skyline continues to evolve, it is evident that Baccarat Residences is at the forefront of this transformation, set to redefine the city's architectural boundaries.
