As of November 2026, Panorama Tower in Brickell is the tallest completed building in Miami and in Florida, at 868 feet. Two towers are about to pass it.
- Cipriani Residences Miami topped out at about 950 feet in July 2026. That makes it the tallest structure on the skyline, though it isn't finished yet.
- The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences is designed to reach 1,049 feet, and its ninth and final cube was under way in late summer 2026. It is set to become Florida's first supertall, a building of 300 meters (984 feet) or more.
Below are the ten tallest finished buildings, the towers rising now, and the approved projects that will reshape the skyline next.

How tall can buildings get in Miami?
Miami has no single citywide height cap. Heights are set site by site because downtown and Brickell sit under flight paths for Miami International Airport.
The practical ceiling for the tallest projects is 1,049 feet above sea level. That is the limit cited for the Citadel tower, and the same 1,049-foot figure appears in the plans for the Waldorf Astoria and 888 Brickell. In 2015 the FAA had proposed far lower limits, around 465 to 475 feet, for some sites east of the airport, before later approvals allowed the current supertalls.
