I love that 2nd picture. Is not that glistening new project called "BLUE?" I swear, I saw that in "Ocean Drive" magazine.

yes definetly blue, www.bluecondos.com

Miami have an interesting skyline. nice pic:D

And that skyline will see huge developements for the foreseable future. It will be interesting to compare that picture with one 10 years from now.

There are already a number of projects that should be visible from this angle that are not in this picture.

By the way, I have some shots from the 45th floor of the Wachovia building from early April if someone is willing to host them on a server. Let me know.

send them smiley to wrestlechamp316@bellsouth.net

ill host

Or you can always send them to me. ;)

That SKYLINE Picture in POST#1 will be on National Television for the 2007 SUPERBOWL here in MIAMI, and it will be a lot different if also all Three MET DOWNTOWN CONDO towers are close to being finished, ALSO a HUGE Change if all 30 CONDO TOWERS Along the MIAMI River and BRICKELL are Completed. ITS EXCITING !, SUPERBOWL 2007, the NEW MIAMI LOOK, the MOST Built CONDOS in the Nation, wow, can't wait.

^^^superbowl 07 in miami? thats freaking awesome

wow and how do you know this is the skyline shot theyre gonna use?

wow i cant wait 2 see how this shot will look by then !

Yep, MIAballinboi, LUCKY 7 "Only in Miami" and Whats up in Miami, 50 New Condo Towers in the " Magic City " by 2007, Most Completed. And YES SUPERBOWL PICTURES from every Direction of Downtown MIAMI. The South in that Post#1 Picture, The North in the Post#1 Picture at the bottom showing THE BLUE CONDO Completed. The West coming from PRO PLAYER Stadium, What a SIGHT !. And Then the BEST Shot from the EAST, coming over MIAMI BEACH and into Downtown MIAMI by Helicopter zooming into the NEW DUPONT PLAZA. The Eyes of the World will See the NEW " MOON OVER MIAMI ".

Superbowls don't really showcase cities. I mean, its not a city-centric event these days. Look at Houston. But its cool nonetheless. Its good for Florida's cities, JAX then Miami. An Olympics, now that would be something.

The Miami Skyline Survives Another Cat 4 Hurricane, As Hurricane Frances Bypasses Over The Bahamas And Moves Northwest Away From The City Of Miami, Yes !!!

Not only beautiful skyline but nice place to live !!!

OK, now that IVAN has pass SOUTH FLORIDA, LETS get some more updated PICS of this BEAUTIFUL and THE MOST Survived CITY in Florida during these THREE HURRICANES of 2004. I might be talking just a little too early, But I know MIAMI will survive This season and continue building all these Projects FOR THE FUTURE.

are you referering to the huge amount of condo high rises in Vancouvers downtown,I figured most Americans wouldn't even have heard of vancity

Anyway, Miami looks awesome.

Yes Vanman, I 'm guessing what he means is MIAMI is in its way to matching or even Doubling in 4 years the amount of High-Rise Condos in a Downtown area, and I work and live here in Miami, and to tell you the truth , its going to happen, Because the Condos here are already sold out even before construction begins. ITS AMAZING !!!

According to the Latest FLORIDA TREND MAG., MIAMI is the CITY to have over 5,000 CONDOS Available, Added over the Next 2 years ONLY. NOT counting the TOWERS planned After SuperBowl 2007, wow!

ITS AMAZING !!!

The same thing is happening up here in Vancouver. literally thousands of units are being pre sold well before construction.The concord pacific development of False Creek will add a total of 15, 000 units downtown which was originaly thought to take up to 20 years to build but now will take less than ten because of ridiculous demand.New cranes are going up everywhere, even in the suburbs, where thousands more high rise units are either under construction or approved.

VanMan, :) ITS AMAZING !!, theres Construction starting in many parts of the City of Miami, Pounding noises, drilling and hammering noises from sunrise to sunset, and I know theres going to be about 25 TOWER CRANES rising all over the city by this time next year, and thats only in the City of Miami alone. ITS Exciting to see so many people at work, and the Traffic is congestic of the workers going to work. I-95 is always crowded with Trucks delivering material to the construction sites.I see 8 ( eight )-500 foot PLUS CONDO TOWERS going up just next year alone , just in the City of Miami. :cheers:

' SKYSCRAPERS TO DOMINATE RIVER ENTRY TO DOWNTOWN MIAMI ', Thats the Headline on top of PAGE 18 of the ' MIAMI TODAY ', ( September, 23 rd. Issue ), In 2005 , DOWNTOWN MIAMI WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, Like NEVER BEFORE, The Entire Area Will be FULL of Construction Cranes And Traffic will be a Disaster with Trucks Blocking Traffic next to the Tower sites. BUT when all is done, MIAMI will be a Changed New looking CITY !!! THE DDA Statistics Estimate the Figures at 2,721 condo units, 450 rental units, 300 condo-hotel units, 236,503 square feet of retail space, and 120,862 square feet of commercial space. And that is just the Heart of Central Downtown ONLY, NOT Counting the BRICKELL AREA or THE UPTOWN - OMNI AREA, which Could TRIPLE THAT AMOUNT !!!, WOW ! Awesome.

only 2700 condo spaces? that can't be rite...

Miami is great but

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That shot is incredible.

thats one of my favorite pictures ever! just luk at the density... just imagine it in a few years!

Hey Miami Rocks!! I heard about the Super Bowl its gonna be awesome.. I also heard rumors of next years NBA All-Star game coming Downtown.. That would be awesome.

Hey a few questions.. Whats up with the One Miami website? I thought it was OneMiami.com but it says under construction, and anybody have any sites for Dupont Plaza? Whats up with Island Gardens on Watson Island, Coral Station at Brickell Way,and Brickell View? Is all that under way? Anybody heard about a project called the Miami River Village??

Oh yea. I'm new here and I just read our newsletter and it's great but there was an error in the piece about the new Conrad hotel going up in Indianapolis where it says the only one in America is in New York, thats not true theres one in Espirito Santo Plaza..

Didn't know who to tell so just posted it here.. Maybe the writing took place after the Conrad opened..

the 1 and only cuban

read up on your post is seems your outdated on alot of stuff
webiste links are everywhere on these forums conrad hotel has one in nyc waldorf astoria hotel is conrads and now in ESP building in Brickell everyone knows that.

Your right I was out-of-date, I was just so anxious to post that I didn't go through the other threads sorry.. But I still can't access the One Miami website and I don't have any for Dupont Plaza or Paramount on the Bay.

What I was saying was that the article said the only Conrad in the U.S. was in NYC..

Your right I was out-of-date, I was just so anxious to post that I didn't go through the other threads sorry.. But I still can't access the One Miami website and I don't have any for Dupont Plaza or Paramount on the Bay.
YES, One and Only Cuban :) , that website is www.onemiami.com and the Dupont Plaza website is www.dupontplaza.com BUT the SITE is UNDER Construction LOL, Like MIAMI is !!! :cheers: I lOVE Counting THE CONSTRUCTION CRANES, 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26, Should I go on, lol :)
What I was saying was that the article said the only Conrad in the U.S. was in NYC..
WILLIAM CONRAD, lol.

the dupont plaza one is wrong, either that or they just havent built the site yet, cause that domain name is for sale, lol

ya chuck, i 4got who said it, but we really do need to get u some new lines, that counting the cranes, 2, 4, 6... stuff really is gettin old

ya chuck, i 4got who said it, but we really do need to get u some new lines, that counting the cranes, 2, 4, 6... stuff really is gettin old
TRUE NIMBY :) , I got to think of some better Lines, LOL... What Did One 900 Biscayne Tower Wall Say to the Other Wall ??? " I'll Meet You at the Corner " :cheers:

You make me all feel better that I live in Miami :D

I love taking the monorail (actually that smaller one, monotrail something like that) through downtown. Some parts are pretty "New Orleans" looking but there are a lot of good views...

see, chuck, when we say you need new lines, what we really mean is better lines. that 900 biscayne joke you just threw out ain't any better. but you're trying & that's what counts.

btw, here's the actual one miami website: one miami (http://www.onemiami.net)

as far as i know there's no website yet for both the dupont towers & the paramount project. i'm sure there will be plenty of pub from each when they get things going.

Jsut throw a picture in for the hell of it:

That is my favorite view in all of Miami! I wish they could add a scenic view lane at the peak of the bridge!!! It is truly spectacular.

Hey Chuck I have some shots looking at downtown Miami from that very same spot at night either i'll post them pretty soon or I'll find someone to do it for me. You're right the skyline looks incredible from there, and It will look even better in a couple of years :cheers:

This is the most exhilarating view of all, especially when the cruise ships are in and the "crazy" ultralite pilot hovers over the glistening bay. I make sure to take all first time visitors to Miami to experience this view and if we have time, to enjoy a cocktail at the Rusty Pelican. :cheers:

I agree. The Rusty Pelican restaurant is definitely the best restaurant for the best view of the Miami skyline. If I was rich, I would eat there every day, just for the view. By the way, am I the only one who gets a little frustrated everytime they show a picture of Miami on TV or in a magazine and it's like 10 years old, without even the 4 seasons tower showing up anywhere. It seems like the same old picture is used over and over. Hopefully in a few years after some of these new buildings are built, some TV producer or some magazine editor will say "hmm, this picture doesn't really look like Miami anymore...Time for a new one!" And at that point hopefully the view from the Rusty Pelican or the Rickenbacker will be used, since it is really the best angle.

yea i know its one thats missing 4 seasons, espirtio,or anything under construction.the only thing that looks decent in that picture is wachovia because you cant even see boa

TRUE Uptown-Midtown :) , VERY TRUE, It could be they want the Construction CRANES out of he PICTURES, But that could LAST ANOTHER 5 YEARS, LOL. :cheers:
THE 1390 BRICKELL Condo TOWER Building Could be TALLER and Take MORE TIME to BUILD, it will CHANGE the BRICKELL Skyline Forever , With the INFINITY TOWER at Brickell and the PLAZA on BRICKELL Two Towers, THE PARK PLACE 2 Condo TOWER, The AVENUE TOWERS, THE BEACON at Brickell Tower, The 500 BRICKELL Towers, With the Already Started TOWERS of THE SAIL TOWER, EMERALD TOWER, THE SOLARIS TOWER, SHOULD I Go On :) , LOL, 2, 4, 6, 8, WHO do we Apreci " ATE ", CRANES !!! :cheers:

but 1390 is only 39 stories and will be blocked by four seasons and jade

lol if its bout cranes, then they better still use that oolld pic cuz there wont be a time where theeres no cranes, miamis got too many 2 construct looll go cranes

oh yeah bout 1390 i went to the sales center and it shows a pic of the 39 story tower in the skyline and it influenced it now even more with 49 stories, more floors then jade lol

I can't wait for 1390:)

oh 1390 is 49 so it should be taller than jade

oh 1390 is 49 so it should be taller than jade
TRUE Uptown-Midtown :) , THE 1390 CONDO TOWER Could BE 50 When its Finally Groundbroken EARLY NEXT YEAR, 2005, This TOWER will Dominate BRICKELL and OVERLOOK JADE at over 500 FEET, Maybe HIGHER at 530 Feet. We'll FIND OUT SOON. :cheers:

yeah im gonna pass to that sales center every sundya when im at brickell and walk the two blocks to the office inside that short office building. lool last time i was there they gave me a free GIANT poster of 1390, but i want the new rendering, the model inside still shows the older one, and that puny office building still there, hopefully theylll update it.

HEY MIAballinboi :) , I want a FREE POSTER of the 1390 Brickell TOWER, I'm going By there, THIS SUNDAY, and get one, lol. :cheers:

its a great poster, a giant sized rendering, i have it hanging on my wall lol

oh yeah bout 1390 i went to the sales center and it shows a pic of the 39 story tower in the skyline and it influenced it now even more with 49 stories, more floors then jade lol

And you didn't take a pic? I've been waiting to see the new design. For shame, ballinboi! :mad2:

Where's the sales center at? I might have some time tomorrow to get down there & get a pic.

If you go to the 1390 sales center, you should wait until after Monday and see Ada...she is very helpful and as nicely designed as the building!!!

the name ada gives me nightmares. i went to private catholic school as a kid (holy rosary down in perrine if anyone's heard of it) & one of the nuns was named sister ada. the nuns there were like the sisters of mercy. scared the shit out of me sometimes. so i don't care how well built 1390 ada is, i'll never be able to look at her without thinking of horrible, militant soul-sucking nuns. now that i've got that off of my chest...

seriously though, i just wanna run in & snap a pic. i don't wanna deal too much with the sales staff if i can help it.

so where's the sales office at roark?

can someone like take a pic and post it

NOO THEY DONT GOT THE NEW PIC,

i said i went and they had a pic of the skyline with it as 39 STORIES, i asked the guy and they didnt get the new design yet,

U THINK I WOULDNT HAVE TAKEN A PIC? i would have probably taken the poster off the wall at the sales center to show u guys lool

WERE ALL WAITING FOR THE NEW DESIGN,

oops, i mis-read your post ballinboi. thought you said there was a rendering of the new design.

i'll never doubt you again. :cheers:

lool no prob, i was gonna take a pic of the older rendering skyline shot, but when i did it didnt come out good and there was a big glare, so i just said forget it but ill check 2 see for the new rendering as soon as its out

MIAballinboi :) and South Florida DAVE :) , CAN you Young Men Just PICTURE What The CITY of MIAMI is Going to Look Like on JANUARY 1st, 2011, When MOST of these 500 PROJECTS are Completed.

This Thanksgiving We Should Be Grateful For Everything Going On In Miami

^amen, uptown. i'll drink to that! :cheers:

happy thnxgivin mia! and every1

What I find really amazing is that we are all so consumed with the massive towers being built in Miami and we have failed to realize that the Port of Miami is currently undergoing a huge renovation at what I believe to be the Carnival Cruise Lines Terminal. From what I could see last night as I sped by on the Macarthur Causeway the entire terminal had been demolished or removed and a small portable crane was already on site. I hope the new terminal if that what it really is, comes out as beautiful if not better than the royal Caribbean terminal just west of it. This is crucial for this city considering how many tourists pass through there annually and hopefully decide to come back to visit us. If anyone can find any info please let us know...

I Do Know That The Port Jsut Received Two New Super Cranes From China Which Will Make It Unload Faster Then What Its Used To Now...

i wasn't even aware the port was being renovated. it's easy to lose sight of something like that with all the hi-rise talk grabbing everyone's attention.

glad they're taking care of the port cause parts of it really need help. & the port is, afterall, a major part of the life blood of miami.

Well The Port Is Trying Add The Tunnel, Renovating Facilites,adding 4 Super Post Panaramax Cranes And More Security,and Increasing Efficiency And Productivity.as Stated By The Director A Year Ago.

Answering my own questions, I found this online:

The infrastructure that will be required to meet projected increases in cargo and cruise during the next 20 to 30 years is being addressed in a capital improvement program that includes 37 projects and over $250 million.

In 2003, two new parking garages were constructed and completed to accommodate the increase number of drive-in cruise passengers. Among the projects scheduled for completion in 2004 are: two new cruise terminals and the remodeling of two existing ones; a new cruise entry gate; two new parking garages; construction of a new cargo shed; two new wharves; a new cargo and security gate facility; and a new refrigerated container yard.

Here are our new cranes en route to the Port of Miami (POM)

http://www.cranemgt.com/index_files/zpmc-changxing%20000_2980.jpg

http://www.cranemgt.com/index_files/zpmc-changxing%20048c.jpg

"The new cranes 11-12 have shipped from ZPMC fully erected on 2-Nov-2004. The cranes were commissioned and tested at ZPMC Changxing Base where also most of the punchlist items were corrected with exception of those that must be addressed in Miami. As a result of unexpected maritime conditions, the cranes are now expected to arrive in Miami by early January 2005. Thereafter, they are scheduled to go through final commissioning, testing and certification to soon after commence work on vessels within two months.”

"The electrification of the Port’s gantry cranes commenced in July 2004. The civil works commenced first while the crane work being performed by ECC (East Coast Cranes) began a month later. All work to include the installation of the cable trench and electrical feeders at Wharf 5 has been completed. The work is well underway on Wharf 3 and part of Wharf 4. This work includes strengthening of the crane rail support beam, electrical pit, cable trench, electrical underground feeders and new fenders. The construction of the new electrical vault/switch gear room is complete and the underground feeders to the electrical pits is in progress.”

"Along with the new cranes on the Zhenhua 4, we are taking delivery of four (4) new operator cabins for cranes 7-10, two (2) sets of trolley wheels for cranes 8 and 10, four (4) new 50LT Twin-lift 20/40/45 Spreaders, an Over-height Adaptor, and, a 75LT Cargo Beam with three (3) 65LT Twin-lift 20/40/45 Spreader for the new cranes"

wow, the cranes are fully built when they ship them?! that's really something. i'd have never guessed that's how they travel. it's pretty trippy to see those huge cranes loaded onto that ship, or those ships if there's more.

toucano, do you know where the cranes are coming from?

Shanghai, China

Shanghai, China
TOUCANO :) , THESE PICS are Amazing :) , BUT the CRANES are NOT here YET in MIAMI, I'm looking at a LIVE Shot of he Port Of MIAMI and The 10 ORIGINAL Cargo Cantainer CRANES are There, But NO SIGHT of the HUGE Newest Cranes YET :) , Could you have any Knowledge of Knowing When The Cranes are DUE in PORT of MIAMI ? :cheers:

First of all. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!. I'm surely thankful for this forum, you guys are awesome anytime I need info you guys are right there. Thanks everyone.
Now I'm seeing this page and if you scrooll all the way up you'll see a picture of Vilnius- Lithuania, How come I've never seen one of Miami? how can we do to post it there?

chuck, toucano's article says they should be here by early january 2005

so ur tellin me they came on a ship like that all the way from china, through tha panama canal (would they even fit through there, they mite have had to go around south america), and to miami, and i thought 10 bux was alot to pay for shipping a t-shirt, imagine the shippin cost on those, lol

source www.miamitodaynews.com

GO, CRANES: The Port of Miami is making way for the arrival of two Chinese heavyweights next month. Each of the two cranes, manufactured by Zhenhua Port Machinery of Shanghai, can handle ships 22 containers wide and has a reach of 213 feet. The Super-post-panamax is fully electrical and powered by 13,200 volts with diesel backup.

THANKS NIMBY :) , January, 2005 ARRIVAL, Great !!! :cheers:
