An artist rendering of the Empire World Towers scheduled to be completed by 2010.
The topography of the Miami skyline will soon be forever changed with the massive addition of two of the tallest buildings in the world. The Empire World Twin Towers will reach heights of 1020 feet in the air. At 93 stories, the towers will rise high across the Bayside marketplace and were the subject of a city commission meeting this week. The project, which will not be completed till 2010, is slated to be a residential condo. Still, it has a long way to go before they can break ground.
