Sharjah 24 – AFP: Florida developers begin constructing the world’s first COVID-conscious and pandemic-ready skyscraper, to be part of the 27 acres Miami Worldcenter complex.

With a price tag of $500-million, the Legacy Tower will be a 55-story building, planned to contain 310 luxurious residences, 219 hotel rooms and 10-floors of medical facilities - featuring bacteria-killing robots, touchless technology and modern air purification systems which developers hope will protect residents against future pandemics.

Completion is scheduled for 2024.
