“It is also home to the largest concentration of international banks in the United States and is the second-largest financial hub outside of New York City’s financial district.”

Let me know what they say...I posted the Forbes article—didn’t photoshop or use Jomboy media.
Separate note, data from Skyscrapercenter (too lazy to check if posted earlier) with Miami ranked #3 by them in US with 31% of the buildings office and/or mixed use (to address earlier comment from someone else that there is not many business / commercial structures):

Yeah I have no doubt that every major bank in Latin America has some kind of presence in Miami. That's understandable-its the other part that I need to see evidence for. For all I know I am way off base but clarification is good.
Sorry but Im going to need Forbes to source this claim so I just emailed them.
It just doesnt make sense given well, every other ranking and list we've seen on the subject of 'financial hubs'.
The statement can't be true. Miami is primarily a center for Latin American banks, and even among such banks, if they have a branch in Miami, they're gonna have a branch in NYC too. But obviously NYC also has bank branches from all over the planet.
My point wasn’t about the number of Latin American banks but about how they contribute to the skyline. Not very major compared to condos and apartments in the entire metro.
If we go by the title of your thread alone it would be Miami.
Number of completed towers over 500+ feet | 152+ meters : 50 with 9 under construction.
Using this metric the next city that is close would be Houston with about half of Miami's total.
To put Miami's boom into perspective at the end of the 20th. century Miami only had 6 completed towers over 500+ feet.
If you had to guess, how many more towers do you think will be built/how much longer do you think the high-rise boom will continue?

For however long reach people from the North East continue to flock down and retire there... so I don't see a let up in the next 1-2 decades unless something major happens

Agreed, though add South Americans, Canadians and Europeans....there are a number of towers underway (Flatiron—nearing completion, Una, Worldcenter, Aston Martin Residences, continued development of BCC, Edgewater and The River) and future projects (The Towers, which will be a twin tower Panorama, more hotels, Santander and other office buildings).
Give a developer here an inch and they’ll take a mile.

The South Florida highrise boom will subside in the coming years, because of global warming. The South Florida coast won't be habitable in two generations; you can't fix porous soil.
Also the boom is fueled by two circumstances likely to end: economic instability in Latin America and folks in high tax states trying to escape taxation, made worse by the recent tax changes.

More like decades and/or when banks stop offering 30 year mortgages in FL.
