Well the City can't shut down Peter O' Knigt (KTPF) as it is apart of the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority and there has been a few grumblings within GA divison on shutting it down, but I suspect that its just grumbles.

I believe since KTPF is such a minor airport that there is no height restrictions on Downtown, let alone the fact that you have to so many feet away from the CBD.

A "lofty" goal, indeed.

If you never set goals, how will you reach them? :thumbsup:

There's more discussion in the Empire World Towers thread in the Miami forum.

lol, you linked us to the Raleigh Hotel News, Convention Center Hotel, Clarion->Westin thread instead.

Looks like that 789ft Building is gonna be the tallest for a lil while longer.

Um..what? Your post makes it sound as though it's either been delayed or cancelled.

Developer plans world's tallest condo -- 110 stories -- in Miami

MIAMI -- It's only on the drawing boards, but a developer is proposing to build the world's tallest condominium tower in downtown Miami.

Leon Cohen bought the property Monday for $31.7 million and is preparing to submit plans for a 110-story tower that would be 1,200 feet tall. A companion tower of the same height would be a combination hotel-apartment building.

But it may not be easy to get approval for his Empire World Towers. The Federal Aviation Administration limits the height of downtown buildings because of overflights from Miami International Airport jets.
