In what was dubbed a "Manhattanization wave", there were nearly 60 structures proposed, approved or under construction in the city that were planned to rise over 492 feet (150 m) in height.
By 2011 the market began to return, with new office and condominium projects such as Brickell House announced for construction beginning in 2012.
[7] The tallest active proposals include One Bayfront Plaza (OBP)[8] and One Brickell City Centre (OBCC),[9] both of which may rise over 1,000 feet (305 m).
One Bayfront Plaza is a mixed-use building proposed for 100 South Biscayne Boulevard, approved for construction since 2007, and scheduled to be completed as early as 2018.
Several other buildings have been proposed to rise over 1,000 feet (305 m), including One Brickell City Centre, but have been reduced by the FAA.
The fate of high rise construction in Miami was greatly threatened by a "One Engine Inoperative" (OEI) policy proposed by the FAA in 2014.
[10] This lists ranks the tallest buildings in Miami that stand at least 400 ft (122 m) tall, based on standard height measurement.
All of the planned high-rise buildings that were not constructed by the 2008 financial crisis were either put on hold or cancelled altogether until 2011 as the market was becoming stable once again.
Many of these buildings were approved during the 2000s Miami skyscraper boom, but were put on hold during the Great Recession and have been announced to start construction in 2013 and early 2014.
While the 5-story Burdine's Department Store was the first high-rise building in the city, the Freedom Tower is generally regarded as Miami's first skyscraper.
