Okan Tower: A New Construction Icon in Downtown Miami’s Skyline
Construction continues to advance on Okan Tower, a 70-story mixed-use marvel taking shape at 555 North Miami Avenue in the heart of Downtown Miami. Designed by the esteemed Behar Font & Partners and developed by Okan Group, this 902-foot-tall, 914,124-square-foot skyscraper is set to redefine luxury living and working spaces in the city. Once completed, the tower will feature 399 luxurious residences, a 316-key hotel, 64,000 square feet of Class A office space, and a host of indoor and outdoor amenities, making it a true gem in Miami's urban landscape.
The tower is being constructed on a 0.86-acre corner plot, strategically bordered by North Miami Avenue to the west and Northeast 6th Street to the north, ensuring it will be a standout feature in the downtown area. Witkin Hults + Partners, the landscape architect, is meticulously planning the surrounding green spaces to complement the building's impressive architecture.
Jacob Companies, the project’s general contractor, has been actively sharing updates on the tower’s construction progress. Last week, they posted a series of photos on Instagram that provided a behind-the-scenes look at the ongoing activities at the site. The images captured various stages of the building process, from the installation of rebar to the formation of concrete slabs. The pouring of columns in the site’s northeast corner is visible, alongside significant progress on the south wall.
The construction team, including Okan Construction, Moore Group, Efco Forming, and US American Concrete, is making remarkable strides in the tower’s structural phase. As the year progresses, we can expect to see Okan Tower start to make a substantial impact on the Miami skyline.
Okan Tower’s residential offerings are divided between 163 condominium units on floors 51 through 70, tailored for private residences, and 236 condo-hotel units on floors 36 to 50. These condo-hotel units are designed for short-term rentals, offering all the services and amenities of a luxury hotel. The residential units vary in size, with studios starting at 447 square feet and expansive three-bedroom residences reaching up to 2,183 square feet, catering to a wide range of lifestyle needs.
The tower’s design and amenities are poised to attract those seeking an unparalleled living experience in Miami, combining luxury, convenience, and modern design in a prime downtown location.
As construction progresses, anticipation continues to build for the completion of Okan Tower. The project is expected to be finished by 2027, at which point it will stand as a new icon in Miami's skyline, embodying the city’s vibrant spirit and relentless growth.
