The South Florida building boom may be reaching new heights, with a developer proposing what could be the world's tallest condominium in downtown Miami.

Leon Cohen is preparing to submit plans with the city of Miami to build a condo tower and apartment-hotel tower that would each rise 1,200 feet along Biscayne Boulevard.

If built, both 110-story skyscrapers would be the tallest in Florida, and the condo tower would rank as the tallest residential high-rise in the world, Cohen said.

I can't wait to see some renderings. If the FAA approves these babies, i'll be on cloud 9.

Miami is truly moving up on the architectural ladder! But I'm not holding my breath on this proposal, it needs to get approval...

Well, Atlanta can say goodbye to the honor of having the tallest building in the nation outside of NYC or Chic...for now. Both cities seem to be real good at topping their old records and at boosterism.
