This list of tallest buildings in Miami Beach ranks skyscrapers in the city of Miami Beach, Florida by height. The tallest completed buildings in Miami Beach are the Blue and Green Diamonds which stand 559 ft (170 m) tall and both contain 44 floors.[1][2]
Miami Beach's history of skyscrapers began in 1929 with the completion of The Blackstone. Back then, the hotel was the tallest building in Miami Beach, at 157 feet (48 m) tall.[3] For more than five decades between 1940 and 1995, Miami beach went on a skyscraper hiatus, with few buildings taller than 200 feet (61 m) constructed. However, since 1995, Miami Beach has gone on a construction boom, as many of the city's skyscrapers were completed between 1995 and present. Thomas Kramer is well known for the negotiations with local government that allowed the building of the tallest towers in the Miami Beach Area. No Miami Beach buildings are among the tallest in the United States, but the city is home to three buildings at least 492 feet (150 m). Overall, Miami Beach's skyline (based on number of skyscrapers over 300 feet (91 m) ranks 2nd in the state of Florida, (behind Miami).
The tallest buildings in Miami Beach are currently the Blue and Green Diamond twin towers, built in 2000, each standing at 502 feet (153 meters). When built, they were the tallest beachfront towers in the United States, but this title was taken by Jade Beach and Jade Ocean in nearby Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, in 2008. Jade Beach stands at 574 feet (175 meters).
