One fresh, futuristic development among the Miami skyline’s scattered new development plans is the breathtaking SkyRise Miami tower, set to stand 1,000 feet tall on the shores of Biscayne Bay.
The high-rise will include an observatory space, thrill rides and dining options, along with family-friendly attractions for all ages. Developer Jeff Berkowitz is leading the project, slated for completion in 2020.

Partnering with Berkowitz, Legends, a global solution provider for the sports and entertainment industry, is overseeing the development. Legends is responsible for marketing, sales and management along with coordinating guest communications and food services for SkyRise Miami.
Shervin Mirhashemi, president of Legends, says SkyRise Miami will become a ‘symbol of the New Miami’ given its iconic appearance and exhilarating facilities.
“As the SkyRise structure takes its place on the city skyline, we look forward to bringing our expertise to the ongoing development, and helping to create an experience that will provide a new way for visitors to view Miami and its surrounding area,” Mirhasemi said in a statement.
