Nine Forty-Two Northeast First Avenue
Legacy Hotel & Residences holds a 1.5-acre site at 942 NE 1st Avenue inside Miami Worldcenter. The record lists 50 planned floors, 310 furnished residences and 219 hotel keys. Construction stopped in March 2024 and has not restarted.
The frame reached roughly its 16th floor. Thirty-four floors of vertical build remain, which is 68 percent of the tower by floor count.
The record carries coordinates of 25.7835002, -80.1925113. That node is what a guide’s map pins, and two blocks of a walking route hang off it.
Street Conditions the Page Leaves Out
Check city permits and district notices for a sidewalk closure, a lane closure, a fence line, a hoarding height, a crane position, a coach set-down and a pedestrian detour. This record carries none of them.
An operator selling a walking segment on NE 1st Avenue confirms the street condition with the city and with Miami Worldcenter before departure day.
Confirm again seven days out. A hoarding line can move in a week.
The Stops Already Trading
The distance panel dates the surrounding supply. Miami World Tower 1 is open and 0.1 miles from the site. The Crosby Miami Worldcenter is open and 0.2 miles out. Umbrella is open. Miami Worldcenter itself is listed open, dated May 2025, at 0.2 miles.
E11EVEN Club Hotel & Residences is under construction under 0.1 miles away with a June 2026 date. JEM Private Residences carries Q4 2027 at under 0.1 miles. Okan Tower and One West Twelve Residences carry 2028 at 0.3 miles. Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami carries Q2 2028 and Delano Residences Miami 2031, both at 0.4 miles.
Every distance on that panel is a straight-line measure from the site node. Walking legs run longer.
Walking Time Between the Pins
At a guided pace of 80 metres a minute, 0.1 miles is about 161 metres and two minutes. 0.2 miles is about 322 metres and four minutes. 0.3 miles is about 483 metres and six minutes. 0.4 miles is about 644 metres and eight minutes.
Those figures are arithmetic on the panel’s own distances. They hold on a clear footway, and they carry no allowance for a crossing signal, a queue at a door or a closed pavement.
Add ten minutes for each stop where the group stands still. Four stops at ten minutes each plus sixteen minutes of walking come to about 56 minutes. A two-hour segment needs a longer dwell at each stop.
The Vantage Point
The record gives a 50-storey planned tower and no height in feet. It lists no observation deck, no public terrace and no rooftop venue open to visitors. A guide who points at the tower points from a public position.
Pick that position on the survey walk. Confirm the sightline, the standing room and the noise level at the hour the group arrives. Carry a second position in case the first is fenced.
Brief the group on the floor count and the halt date.
What to Tell the Client
Give the halt date and the cause. Work stopped in March 2024 after plumbing and electrical slab penetrations were found incorrectly placed. Give the status: under construction, opening TBD.
Give the case. Legacy Lender Holdings, a Monarch Alternative Capital affiliate, sued the developer on 2 July 2025 over $31.9 million. A $32 million surety bond was missed on 22 September 2025. A dozen contractors hold lien claims, and no total is published.
Say that no source publishes a restart date. Say that the count of keys moves between publishers: 219 on the project record, 255 hotel rooms on the sales site, 310 residences on the developer’s portfolio page.
Put those four lines in writing in the pre-tour pack.
The District Carries the Stop
Miami Worldcenter has its own record of trade. The tracker’s journal file records the district at 95 percent leased in May 2024 after Maple & Ash, Apple, Juvia and the Museum of Ice Cream took space.
Build the day on the district and the open neighbours. Hold the stalled tower as a stop taken from the pavement, and sell it as a construction story.
A Two-Hour Segment That Holds
Four stops inside a 0.4-mile radius carry a two-hour walking segment with a break. The panel supplies the stops and their dates.
Write the tower into the briefing as a project under construction with no completion date.
Reconfirm the street, the fence line and the coach position on the week of departure.
