Olympic Peacock & Olympic Torch
During the Olympics, the 60-story Paramount Miami
Worldcenter skyscraper, in downtown Miami, is lighting-up the
world’s tallest digital iconic NBC Olympic Peacock, the NBC-6 South
Florida station logo, and the world’s most enormous electronic
Olympic Torch.
Olympic Flag & Athlete Montage
The $700-million futuristic high-rise features the world’s most
advanced L.E.D. animation lighting system.
The 700-foot-tall superstructure is also glowing with an
oversized official Olympic Flag and a 300-foot-wide moving montage
of Olympic athlete images -- representing the 32 sports played.
Stars & Stripes
The building also illuminates with the tallest L.E.D. U.S. Flag,
with wafting five-pointed white stars emblazoned on a fluttering
field of blue with 13 rippling red and white stripes.
Center Column
Paramount Miami’s center column gleams with the phrases, “2024
Olympics;” “Go Team USA;” and the traditional “USA, USA” chant.
Daniel Kodsi, CEO, Royal Palm Companies
“We are lighting-up the Paramount Miami Worldcenter as a salute
to the 592 Team USA members,” says Daniel Kodsi, CEO of
the Royal Palm Companies – developer of the Paramount Miami
Worldcenter.
“This is a beacon of unification. This is a way for Americans to
get behind Team USA.”
Athlete Stats
About 10,500 Olympians from 206 countries are competing in
Paris, site of the Olympics, through August 11.
Seventy-Five Olympians have ties to Florida; 47 of whom are
natives -- making Florida the state with the most 2024 American
athletes in Paris, according to the United States Olympic
Committee.
Florida’s most-notable Team USA members are Bam Adebayo of the
NBA’s Miami Heat and tennis superstar Coco Gauff of Delray
Beach.
Sara Ahmad-Visomirski, VP Creative Services &
Community Relations, WTVJ-TV
WTVJ’s Vice President of Creative Services and Community
Relations, Sara Ahmad-Visomirski, says the TV station was
approached by the Royal Palm Companies to partner on the
production of a Paramount Miami Worldcenter Olympics Tower
Lighting.
“We immediately recognized this as a distinguished opportunity,”
says Ahmad-Visomirski.
“The Paramount Miami Worldcenter is not a commercial billboard.
So, appearing on the famous skyscraper is considered an
invitation-only honor.”
She continues, “This is an unparalleled occasion to display our
classic American brand, the Peacock, while conveying community
spirit and national pride.”
Zak Cooper | Lighting Technician | L.E.D. Smith Lighting
Company
“The Paramount Miami Worldcenter has the world’s most-advanced
Color Kinetics lighting system,” explains Zak Cooper, chief
technician of South Florida’s L.E.D. Smith Lighting Company.
“The Paramount Miami Worldcenter lighting system consists of
five miles of wires connected to 13,400 light-emitting-diodes,
which are embedded in 10,000 panes of high-impact glass.”
Cooper says, “Everyone always asks, ‘Oh, wow, how much is the
electric bill, ‘cause at night it shines over the whole city?’ It’s
super-bright. Everyone can see it for miles. And, to be honest with
you, it’s only about $34.00 per night.”
The $3-million lighting system, which can create 16-million
color combinations, took a team of 12 technicians three years to
design and install, according to Kodsi.
Royal Palm Companies
Paramount Miami Worldcenter, is the 10th tallest building
south of New York City.
If measured horizontally, the Paramount Miami Worldcenter is
about two-and-a-half football fields long, explains Kodsi.
Paramount is the Soaring Signature Skyscraper of the $6-Billion,
27-Acre Miami Worldcenter.
It is America's Second-Largest Real Estate Development.
Paramount Miami Worldcenter is considered the world’s most
heavily-amenitized residential high-rise.
The building’s developer, Royal Palm Companies, is Florida’s
preeminent real estate development firm with a $5-Billion portfolio
of past, present, and in-the-pipeline projects.
