Miami’s skyline is increasingly defined by super-tall ambition, especially in Brickell and Downtown where vertical living has become a signature of status and convenience. Yet height is never just a design choice. It reshapes everything from foundations and logistics to elevator strategy, façade performance, and the day-to-day experience of privacy, noise, and views.
