Uruguay architecture studio Gómez Platero has proposed "four irregularly shaped towers" as part of mixed-use development on the Miami waterfront at the former site of the city's historic Miami Herald building.
The Miami Bay Towers scheme by Gómez Platero is designed to fit into the rectangular waterfront site between Highway A1A and the Venetian Causeway, which was once home to the 1960s Miami Herald headquarters.
Upon the site's $1.2 billion sale in 2023, former Miami mayor Francis Suarez called the site "the most valuable piece of property in America".
Gómez Platero has envisioned a mixed-use development for the site, with four "polyhedral" skyscrapers containing primarily residential units, mixed with a hotel, restaurants, bars and a spa.
Renders show the skyscrapers with chunky, geometric bases and towers with cantilevers and setbacks that create an angular silhouette across the project.
"The architectural proposal introduces four irregularly shaped towers with multifunctional podiums, aiming to maximise the visual and functional quality of the space while seamlessly integrating with the coastal edge and urban environment," said the studio.
"The towers, envisioned as polyhedral volumes, break away from traditional orthogonal forms. The staggered silhouette emphasizes verticality and reduces perceived mass, creating an articulated ensemble with no 'back side'."
