WLRN reports a hard-hat tour of Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami past the 80th floor, a top-off expected this year, and the Mansion in the Sky penthouse sold at an undisclosed price. Haute Residence cards the Downtown tower as 100 stories with 360 residences above a Waldorf Astoria hotel.

Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami stands in Downtown Miami at 300 N Biscayne Blvd. Haute Residence describes a 100-story tower of nine offset glass cubes by Carlos Ott with Sieger Suarez Architects, interiors by BAMO, developed by a PMG-led venture with Hilton, with 360 private residences above a 205-key Waldorf Astoria hotel and delivery framed as 2028. Broader project context remains in the complete guide.

What WLRN reports from the hard-hat tour

WLRN reports that visitors on a recent hard-hat tour reached the 80th floor, that about 600 workers are on site daily, that PMG’s Stead expects the building to “top off” this year, and that the four-floor “Mansion in the Sky” penthouse—listed at $50 million in 2023—has sold at a price not yet disclosed. Those tour, top-off-expectation and penthouse-sale points are attributed here as reported by WLRN. A calendar date for top-off is not stated.

How this sits with Haute Residence coverage

The building page and complete guide already publish the 100-story / 360-residence Downtown program. A separately published comparison, Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami vs The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami (live as of November 8, 2026), contrasts Downtown hotel-residence living with Brickell Key island living. Any Mandarin Oriental mention in this news note is geographic context only—not a ranking. For Mandarin Oriental’s own campus, see The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami.

What buyers should verify

A hard-hat visit and a reported top-off expectation describe construction progress. They do not replace offering documents, amenity schedules or residence-specific hotel-access terms. Request current pricing, availability and condominium documents, and read them against the Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami card and the Downtown Miami / new-development context on Haute Residence.
