The tower will also host a wide variety of attractions including bungee jumping, a free-fall ride and a cinema among other things. It will be the tallest tower in Florida once completed. The tower will contain a private club, a trio of [observation decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cn-tower-renovation), a [nightclub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercury-tower), a ballroom and a fancy restaurant. It will also feature a scary-sounding attraction called SkyRise Drop, that is likened to base-jumping but with a bungee rope. SkyRise Miami is expected to attract 3.2 million visitors a year, with developer Jeff Berkowitz labeling it the "Miami Eiffel Tower". The tower will be situated in [downtown Miami](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siro-brickell-in-miami) and is expected to cost $430 million to build, with construction scheduled to get underway later this year and be completed by mid-2017. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Regional](https://www.trendhunter.com/regional) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Skyrise Attractions:** Create innovative and thrilling rides and attractions to enhance the visitor experience at observation towers. - **Vertical Entertainment:** Expanding the concept of observation towers to incorporate various forms of entertainment and recreation. - **Urban Landmarks:** Developing iconic towers in urban areas to draw tourists and boost local economies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Amusement Parks:** Integrate thrilling rides and attractions from observation towers into existing or new amusement park experiences. - **Hospitality:** Provide luxurious amenities and entertainment options as part of observation tower experiences, such as private clubs, restaurants, and nightclubs. - **Construction:** Seize construction opportunities by participating in the development and construction of observation towers as iconic landmarks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Miami Residential Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/five-park-miami-beach.md) - [Diamond-Inspired Luxe Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-miami.md) - [Supertall Miami Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1201-brickell-bay-drive.md) - [Premium Sail-Shaped Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aston-martin-residences.md) - [Mall-Based Indoor Adventure Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miami-international-mall.md) - [Sky-Garden Leisure Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sobha-skyparks.md) - [Tall Beachfront Residential Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-motors.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Record-Breaking Skate Megaramps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bulls-building-drop.md)
