Lighting System Facts

The nightly electric bill for the tower lighting is estimated at $34.00.

The system was designed and installed by L.E.D. Smith, Inc. of West Palm Beach.

University of Miami Alumnus Becomes Preeminent Florida Developer

Daniel Kodsi (Cod-See) is CEO of the Royal Palm Companies real estate development firm – builder of the ultra-futuristic Paramount Miami Worldcenter tower.

He is a 1991 graduate of the University of Miami Herbert School of Business

Kodsi earned his bachelor’s degree in finance with a minor in architecture.

He has gone-on to become one of South Florida’s preeminent real estate developers.

As a 1987 freshman, Kodsi was a resident of McDonald Hall dormitory.

He was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

While casually discussing his vision with friends at a dining table, Kodsi sketched-out Paramount’s superyacht-style skydeck and curved steel and glass edges design, on a paper napkin.

Part of his original plan was to create a lighting system that has now reshaped downtown Miami’s 21st century skyline.

Kodsi says while a student he frequented University of Miami basketball games. This is the first time in the school’s history that the Hurricanes have advanced to the Final Four.

“During my four years at the University of Miami, our team never excelled to the level it is at now,” says Kodsi. “This is a moment in history that the student body, and we alumni, will forever remember and we want to be a part of that experience.”

He continues, “The Paramount Miami Worldcenter Final Four Tower Lighting is a beaming beacon reflecting the shimmering spirit of South Florida. It a signal of community support of the nation’s preeminent collegiate basketball teams and their fans.”

The futuristic Paramount Tower rises from the heart of the $4-billion, 27-acre Miami Worldcenter.

It is, currently, the nation’s biggest urban core construction project and America’s second-largest real estate development, which is dubbed as, “The City-within-the-City-of-the-Future.”
