Okan Tower features an undulating façade shaped like a tulip.

Miami is a booming international city. Soon, it will be blooming too. Okan Tower, a 70-story flower-shaped architectural wonder will anchor the city’s surging skyline, ultimately unfolding as the tallest skyscraper in Florida (in fact, the tallest tower south of Manhattan).

When completed, the versatile mix-used tower will soar 890 feet over downtown Miami (eclipsing the 868-foot-tall Panorama Tower), comprising a 294-room branded Hilton Hotel, 236 condo-hotel units, 149 condo residences, office space, and retail. The $300 million project will be developed and self-funded by billionaire Turkish real estate mogul Bekir Okan’s company, Okan Group—Turkey’s first major real estate investment in Miami.
