that will crown the Waldorf Astoria Miami. The developers behind Miami’s glittering Waldorf Astoria supertall
have unveiled the first look at the 1,049-foot tower’s $50 million
penthouse, one of the most expensive units to come to market in the
city.
The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom property — which spans some 13,000
square feet — will sit at the top of the nine stacked cubes that make up
the vertiginous building, situated on a waterfront stretch in downtown
Miami. It’s currently slated to be completed in 2027 by architect Carlos
Ott and the firm Sieger Suarez.

Renderings of the penthouse’s interior — designed by the firm BAMO —
showcase a modern, airy unit with wraparound windows, enclosed
balconies, recessed lighting and luxe marble finishes. Rooms include a
private gym, spa, library and theater.

“Even with the great skyscrapers of the world — in Dubai, Hong Kong, New
York — there’s a lot of towers,” said Ryan Shear, managing partner of
the building’s developer, PMG. With the Waldorf Astoria Miami, he
continued, “you get to be on top of a world-class city.”

I have been asked to do an art demo for the Huntington Beach Art League on Wednesday, November 1st.
So I am working, preparing for that. It will be at the beautiful, new HB Senior
Center on Goldenwest off of the 405 freeway. It starts at 7 PM and done
by 8:30. HBAL asked to to post this on my blog and invite anyone
that is interested. It's free, you don't have to be a member to attend.
It's a great group, I've been a member since 1999. I will be working
with about 6+ messed-up canvases and try to finish or at least improve
them. To show the recycling of canvases using gesso, collage and acrylic.
