Miapolis is a visionary skyscraper planned for construction on Watson Island in Miami, Florida. If approved, constructed, and completed the building would stand at 975 m (3,200 ft), with 160 floors, surpassing the Burj Khalifa in Dubai as the world's tallest skyscraper. The proposed $22 billion self-sufficient development would include an amusement park, a trade center, an observatory, rotating sky-lounge, a shopping mall, restaurants, condominiums, office space, a hotel and a marina, to be built on a 28-acre (11 ha) site. The proposal plans call for 1,000 housing units and up to 46,000 construction jobs over the construction period and to bring 35,000 permanent jobs to Miami.
