Empire World Towers
The Empire World Towers were two proposed supertall skyscrapers to be built in Miami, Florida in the United States. The complex consists of the Empire World Tower I and the Empire World Tower II. If completed, both towers would stand at 1,022 feet (312 m), with 93 stories each. They would surpass the Panorama Tower and become the city and state's tallest buildings, since the approved One Bayfront Plaza had been reduced to a height of 1,010 ft. The towers were not built, but in 2023 the supertall Waldorf Astoria Miami began construction on the same block at 300 Biscayne Boulevard. History If approved, constructed, and completed in time, the towers would have surpassed Queensland 1 as the world's tallest all residential buildings, until the completion of the Chicago Spire, but ultimately fall well short of the Central Park Tower. Height The Empire World Towers were originally proposed to rise 1,200 feet (366 m) and 106 stories. In December 2007, the height of the towers was decreased to 1,022 feet (312 m). It is probable that the height decrease was brought on due to the concerns raised by the Federal Aviation Administration about the proposed buildings' heights. See also List
