International property developer Okan Group, recently celebrated the foundation pour for their highly-anticipated development Okan Tower, set to be the area’s next major mixed-use megaplex. The 36-hour continuous pour began on Friday, March 29, and was orchestrated by general contractor Jacob Companies joint ventured with Okan Construction.
Set to be a new landmark on the Downtown Miami skyline and rising 902 feet in the air, Okan Tower will be one of Miami’s tallest towers when it debuts in 2027, and its unique architecture is poised to be a defining element for the city.
