- Miami's skyline is rapidly changing due to a downtown skyscraper boom set in motion a decade ago after the Federal Aviation Authority approved projects up to 1,049 feet, with Cipriani Residences currently standing at 950 feet.

- Governor DeSantis has invested in vertiports for flying taxis supporting future properties, while new developments like the Delano will continue the supertall trend—skyscrapers above 984 feet—reshaping the skyline.
