Height
With a planned height of 1,010 feet (308 m), One Bayfront Plaza will likely become the tallest building in Miami upon completion. The tower is also the only building planned to rise over 1,000 feet (305 m) that has ever been approved in Miami. One Bayfront Plaza would surpass the 789-foot (240 m) Four Seasons Hotel Miami, which is currently the tallest building both in Miami and the state of Florida, by 221 feet (67 m). At its original height of 1,180 feet, which exceeded FAA height restrictions and was never approved, it would have been one of the tallest buildings in the United States, and its second proposed height of 1,049 feet, which was approved in 2007 under old zoning, would have made it only slightly shorter than the Chrysler Building in New York by 1 foot (0.3 m). The height was reduced to its current 1,010 ft (308 m) due to height restrictions in the new Miami 21 zoning laws.

Famous quotes containing the word height:
“To say more than human things with human voice,
That cannot be; to say human things with more
Than human voice, that, also, cannot be;
To speak humanly from the height or from the depth
Of human things, that is acutest speech.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Tell me of the height of the mountains of the moon, or of the diameter of space, and I may believe you, but of the secret history of the Almighty, and I shall pronounce thee mad.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The lotus’ stem is as long as the depth of water,
So men’s height is just as great as their inner strength.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
