“Its silhouette is the whole pitch: a single curved gesture meant to read as a tulip from across the bay.”

Introduced in 2016 and now under construction in Downtown Miami, Okan Tower is a 70-story condo-hotel whose curved glass crown was designed by Behar Font & Partners to evoke a tulip in bloom — a nod to the Turkish heritage of OKAN Group, the Istanbul-based conglomerate behind it. Developed in partnership with Fortune International Group and operated in part by Hilton, the tower pairs branded hotel-condo units with full Sky Residences up to three bedrooms, anchored by two dedicated amenity floors and a 70th-floor rooftop pool deck.

Both residences include

  • 10-and-a-half-foot tall ceilings throughout
  • Custom-built window walls designed by Behar Font & Partners
  • Floor-to-ceiling impact-resistant windows and sliding glass doors to private glass-framed balconies
  • European designer cabinetry and quartz countertops
  • Custom tile work with a menu of design customization options
  • Private high-speed elevators and a separate residential lobby

The Honest Take

In favor

  • Two dedicated amenity floors (12th and 70th) rather than one shared level, separating everyday amenities from the rooftop pool scene
  • Direct Hilton hotel-brand affiliation brings professional on-site management and hotel-grade services to the residential side
  • Central Downtown Miami / Miami Worldcenter location within walking distance of Bayside Marketplace, PortMiami, and the Arsht Center

Worth weighing

  • Sales gallery has operated for years under a 2028 delivery target — buyers should independently verify current construction milestones before reserving
  • Condo-hotel structure means some floors carry hotel-program restrictions rather than unrestricted owner-occupancy
  • Downtown high-rise density means views are shared with a fast-growing cluster of neighboring towers rather than an open waterfront
