Urbannizer Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 975 Meter Superscraper In Miami Could Steal Dubai's Crown 20. JAN, 2010Plans have been floated for a new superscraper in Miami that could steal the world’s tallest crown from Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. Despite Miami’s financial woes, having a reported 100,000 plus properties in foreclosure according to the Miami Herald, Kobi Karp has submitted designs for Miapolis - a ‘city within a city’ planned for Watson Island. The 160 storey building would be more than 183 metres higher than the Burj Khalifa if built and would house an amusement park, observatory, restaurants, 1.96 million sq ft of shops, over 1000 apartments, 1 million sq ft office space and a 792 room hotel. The project has been around for more than a decade but it is reported that developer Guillermo Socarras has been in talks with the Federal Aviation Administration to secure approval for the height of the tower. The project is currently looking for funding from investors. http://www.decodedstuff.com/975-meter-superscraper-in-miami-could-steal-dubais-crown/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Pretty cool that they would have to build it over a freeway if built. They'd also have to move places like a childrens museum.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_Island,_Miami,_Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
