Legacy Miami WorldCenter is still stalled. The project, which broke ground in late 2021, rose about 20 floors before stalling last year. Problems arose when the developers behind the project found that the slabs for the towers included incorrect placements of plumping and electrical. Because the project changed from design usages throughout the years, changes were not reflected in the new floor plates. According to the Real Deal, the luxury mixed-use tower was aimed to restart months ago, with a letter sent out to buyers indicating completion of revised plans necessary to restart construction. Construction has still not restarted.
According to a webcam provided on the official developer site, the site has not changed in about a year. In addition, the western crane on site looks to have its head dismantled.
Efforts to revive the long-stalled project have played out in the site’s permitting history, with a plethora of filings between late 2023 and early 2024. The developer submitted a series of phased permits, covering building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work, signaling an attempt to restart construction. Yet, in a reversal, every permit was either revoked or canceled, leaving only stand-alone elevator permits for construction use intact.
Despite multiple inquiries, Floridian Development has received no response from the developer regarding the project’s phasing. More tellingly, not a single new permit has been submitted or approved in the past year, raising questions about whether the project has quietly slipped into limbo. The development will include 310 short-term rentals, a 219 room hotel, a wellness center, and immense retail space if built. The condo portion of the project has sold out.

Only project in Miami with a spire. Why did this one had to stall?
I have bought a unit at Legacy also, if anybody has anybody information pls can you reach to me at sanjaybkk@gmail.com. Since I don’t live in the US I have no way if finding out any information on this project. Developer and agents don’t reply to my emails. Would appreciation any kind of information or help innthis matter.
Espanol: No tengo informacion de la empresa, pero segun el iBuild (Departamento de Permisos) de Miami, los permisos no han cambiado en el ultimo ano. Esto indica que el proyecto ha estado estancado durante ese tiempo. Si el desarrollador quiere retomarlo, debera presentar o actualizar los permisos. Tambien tendrá que resolver las demandas pendientes y asegurar un nuevo financiamiento. Esto significa que probablemente la construccion no comenzara este mes ni el siguiente, hasta que haya nueva informacion.
English: I have no information regarding the company, but according to iBuild (Miami’s Permitting Software), the permits have not changed since last year. This means that the project has been stalled for about a year. If the developer wants to restart, they should update/submit permits. They also have to acquire new financing and resolve lawsuits associated with construction. This means that, probably, the construction will not restart this month or the next, until there is new information.
Will it be an unfinished building? The company has sent out multiple letters regarding their pausing yet no action has been taken…
Se sabe algo nuevo??
Hola. Yo paso por delante todos los días y parece que están desmontando la grúa o parte de la estructura… Una pena. Espero que se reanude pronto.
