70-Story Okan Tower Prepared to Blossom in Downtown Miami

Okan Tower, the largest Turkish investment in the US according to developer Okan Group, has gotten underway in Downtown Miami. The 70-story structure was designed by architecture firm Behar Font & Partners, who have given it a curvature façade inspired by the Turkish national flower, the tulip.

The mega complex features a 316-key Hilton Miami Bayfront Hotel with amenity and entertainment areas, 163 sky residences with exclusive owners-only amenities, 236 short-term rental residences powered by Hilton Hotels & Resorts, and 64,000 square feet of Class A office space.

The 70-story Okan Tower, the first US project by Okan Group, is set to be one of Miami’s tallest towers at 902 feet once complete in 2026.

The project features a 70th floor rooftop pool and sky deck with private cabanas featuring views of downtown and Biscayne Bay and an additional 12th floor lap pool with clubroom and indoor and outdoor lounges.
