The Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami’s 5-star luxury penthouse, which will grow to be the largest in the country and sit atop Miami’s first supertall tower, has been sold for an undisclosed sum. The tallest residential building south of Manhattan will be the five-story, 33,000+ square foot “Mansion in the Sky.”

For the future of real estate in Downtown Miami, the transaction represents a fortunate start. The unidentified client was looking for an upscale residence, and together with the development team, they created what will serve as the pinnacle of the buyer’s individual real estate portfolio as well as the Miami skyline.

Upon completion, this unique penthouse suspended 1,050 feet in the air, will occupy the top five floors of the skyscraper and provide unmatched vistas in every direction. The home will be just under 34,000 square feet in size and have 10 bedrooms, 11 and a half bathrooms, and ceiling heights of up to 25 feet.

A wall-street-style trading room, safe room, billiards area, private movie theater, screening room with two 90-inch theater screens, three wine cellars, full-scale bar, wellness center with cutting-edge equipment, massage rooms, infrared sauna, and a 20-car garage to house the owner’s extensive car collection are just a few of the extravagant amenities it will feature.

The sole usage of the tower’s private roof deck belongs to the mega-penthouse. Three cabanas, a huge pool, a swim-up tiki bar, an outdoor gym, and a multi-use court for racquetball, pickleball, and basketball are all located on the roof. Other features are currently being finished for the owner.

According to the Managing Partner of PMG, “This penthouse sale is an indicator of the strength and tenacity of the luxury real estate market in Miami, and just how special Waldorf Astoria is to buyers and brand enthusiasts. We are confident in the continued momentum at Waldorf Astoria Miami, and know the property will completely elevate the standard of luxury living as we know it.”

Construction on the Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami is expected to begin on October 27, 2022, and end in 2026.

In order to highlight Waldorf Astoria’s first foray into the Miami market, PMG, along with partners Greybrook, Mohari Hospitality, S2 Development, and the international hospitality business Hilton, set out to build a landmark beacon for the city of Miami. The goal is to offer an aesthetically spectacular structure with expertly built residences and unmatched amenities to Miami’s famous Biscayne Boulevard for residents and future hotel visitors to enjoy. The Waldorf Astoria Miami anticipates ushering in a new era for this magical city as the tallest residential structure south of New York and the first supertall tower in Florida.

The Waldorf Astoria Miami, which is situated at 300 Biscayne Boulevard, will have nine spiraling, offset glass cubes that are evenly placed and covered in what is sometimes described to as a “glass skin” to set it apart from other East Coast properties. In order to develop an iconic edifice in Downtown Miami that offers 360-degree views of Downtown Miami, Miami Beach, and the Atlantic Ocean, Sieger Suarez Architects and famous architect Carlos Ott collaborated.

Additionally, the developers collaborated with award-winning interior design company BAMO, which takes pride in designing enticing surroundings that flow, function, and inspire individuals to live and dream more completely. Along with guest rooms and suites inside the five-star hotel, the resort will have 360 private houses. Peacock Alley, a specialty restaurant, indoor/outdoor pre-function and event spaces, conference and boardrooms, a resort-style pool deck with private cabanas, a spa, and a fitness facility will all be considered signature areas.
