Not sure of the precise dates but according to the developers, it will take place in the next couple of days. Its suppose to come down in stages over a couple of days. Right now, they are priming the building for implosion (Other sections of it). I'll be sure to monitor it though if any recent news comes in.

Site work begins this week on 250 Wynwood:

Site work begins this week on 250 Wynwood which, along with the already-under-construction Wynwood Central, is the first new residential construction in Wynwood in like a decade. (this is the first condo, because Wynwood Central is rental) We showed off some old renderings back in January, but since then they've been updated, and the project has a new website with floor plans for your viewing pleasure.

Yes, it should be ground breaking this year.

Miami will have Brickell City Centre and Miami Worldcenter. Lots of options for shopping and entertainment.

[chris08876]

Along with the mall at World Centre, Aventura Mall is also undergoing an expansion. This expansion would make it the second largest in the country.

What are they doing to the old Northern Trust Building?

[chris08876]

The aerial looks like a Quasi-Chicago type loop, especially with the river. Got me thinking that once all of this density comes to fruition, Miami's downtown along with the surrounding neighborhoods might resemble a tropical version of the Chicago Loop. It has a long ways to go though, but food for thought if the whole area in the aerial near the river, and within the highways becomes very dense.

It is quite weird how the have wrapped that building up. Maybe they are planning to demolish the garage behind the building?

Pretty likely. They are going to vote soon to allow Skyrise to begin construction. They still may have to get a voter referendum sometime late summer, I believe in August, but the early construction is so that they do it before the FAA approval on the height expires.

I think its a renovation of the first couple of floors, possible sidewalk and lobby. Thats what I think it is. Would make sense since its not being demolished or anything.

Edit: I checked. Its a renovation.

A joint venture between Lincoln Property Company Southeast and Crow Holding Capital Partners picked up seven acres within the Pan American North Business Park.

The Medley site, which the joint venture acquired from Abisinia Enterprises Inc. for an undisclosed amount, is expected to developed for storage, distribution or light manufacturing, according to GlobeSt.com. The partnership plans to develop a front-load, shallow-bay industrial building. The property is expected to begin leasing in the spring of 2015.

According to numbers reported to GlobeSt.com by Comreal, the industrial vacancy rate in Miami is now below 6 percent.

News concerning construction of a 556-foot observation tower over in the city of Homestead.

Voters asked to weigh Homestead redevelopment bond issue


Future plans include new city hall, library to revitalize downtown

A bond referendum slated for May 13 will help determine the future of Homestead’s downtown revitalization efforts. Residents of the city will vote on a number of measures intended to jumpstart redevelopment of the area.
If voters approve next week’s referendum, the city will move forward on an $18 million police facility, which is currently housed in a radon- and mold-infested bank, according to an article in the Miami Herald. Another $3 million has been set aside for the refurbishment of the temporary headquarters while the new the structure is built.

The bond also calls for $5 million to be spent on the continued renovation of the Seminole Theatre, a project that stalled after updates commenced some time ago.

Future development plans, according to the newspaper, include the construction of a new city hall, library and parking garage, as well as a 556-foot observation tower offering up views of the Everglades and Biscayne national parks.

Yup, it's definitely being renovated for Swires offices and sales center. I'm just wondering what they are using the white fabric for. Advertising?

I don't think they will demolish the garage yet. They probably do it once the Northern Trust building is ready to come down as part of the second phase of City Centre.

Hmm, this is interesting. I would go to an observation tower there. I'm guessing that you would be able to see Miami from there.

This is interesting! Homestead is only about 30 miles southwest of downtown Miami so you should be able to see the skyline from that height as well as probably the upper Keys.
