Four Seasons Miami - 240 meters
The tallest building in Miami is the 70-story Four Seasons Hotel Miami, which rises 789 feet (240 m) in the city’s Brickell district and was completed in 2003.

Miami’s history of skyscrapers began with the 1912 completion of the Burdine’s Department Store, although the Freedom Tower, built in 1925, is Miami’s best known early skyscraper, and remains an icon of the city.
Miami is currently going through its largest building boom in the city’s history. In what is being dubbed a “Manhattanization wave”, there are currently nearly 60 structures proposed, approved or under construction in the city that are planned to rise over 500 feet (152 m) in height. The city is the site of 27 completed skyscrapers over 500 feet (152 m) tall, with 6 more under construction.
Overall, Miami’s skyline is ranked first in the Southeast and third in the United States, after New York City and Chicago. By 2010, Miami is expected to have one of largest skylines in the world. Of the ten tallest buildings in the city, only three were completed prior to 2007. In addition, only four of the city’s 25 tallest buildings were completed before the year 2000.
