My guess is this is a buiding that they have always planned on doing 5 to 10 years from now. But now Miami has a new zoning code scheduled (Miami21) to come up for a vote in the next month or so which would have caused a hefty redesign of the ground level components (especially parking) so FECR had to get OBP fully permitted now so it gets grandfathered in with the new code. Now they just have to do a little bit of work every couple of years or so (like slow demolition work) to keep the permit active until they are actually ready to build the thing.
