Tower Cranes Submitted For Waldorf Astoria Reaching Over 1,200 FT.
PMG development has submitted on Wednesday two tower cranes on the site of Waldorf Astoria Miami, a new supertall set to be one of the tallest towers in America. Tower crane one will rise 1,273 FT off the ground or 1,284 above sea level. It will be the southernmost crane on the property, bordering Biscayne blvd. The crane is already erected, but not at its fullest height. The second crane submitted will be 1,227 FT or 1,238 FT. It will be on the northern portion of the property. Like the southern crane, it’s already erected. Back in the summer of 2023, two tower cranes were submitted at the site but slightly lower in height and different in location. The installed cranes today don’t match the FAA filings, hence the new submissions. One crane that shifted the most was Crane #1, going to the southern part of the property instead of the middle. These new filings will be subject to FAA approval, and will most likely receive approval shortly. The project site is 300 Biscayne Boulevard. The tower will feature 360 residences.
FAA Grants Crane Approvals to Ombelle in Fort Lauderdale
Ombelle, a project in Fort Lauderdale featuring two 43 floor towers, has recently received approval for two tower cranes. Both tower cranes will rise 620 FT on different portions of the site. In a document by the FAA, both filings were given a “determination of no hazard to air navigation for temporary structure”. The document also mentioned that the cranes exceed obstruction standards, but aren’t a hazard to air navigation. These filing approvals come at a time where fence permits, demolition permits, and more were approved. The current site today shows wooden fencing installed and a cleared lot. Construction permits like structural or foundation permits aren’t filed yet, but the developer (Dependable Equities) still has movement in the Accela portal. Ombelle will include 1,100 apartments, 11,217 SF of commercial space, and 1,100 parking spaces at 300 3rd NE 3 Ave. Photos and plans credited to ODA Architecture.
