They are to go along SW 1st Ave near where the Metrorail goes under I-95 forming a triangle. A 2 building, 9-story project called Habitat Brickell will go in the area too.

Quote from an article listing the projects currently under construction along Biscayne Blvd corridor north of downtown:

It lists Soliel as Under Construction, does anyone know if this is true?

The list says that Soleil is UC. Can anyone confirm foundation work has begun??

dave8721 · #8 Posted **Apr 26, 2006, 6:14 PM**

Most of the buildings discussed can be seen in this pic but the Soliel Site is pretty much blocked out by the Midtown buiding in the foreground. Soliel is going between the shiny 10-story office buiding and the low yellow buildings. Doesn't look like much going on to me.

Dave, what construction project is it that I always see from the I-95 north/ US-1 South on ramp (just before it splits) coming from Key Biscayne? It has been underconstruction for a while and I still don't know what it is. For all I know, it could have been finished since the last time I've been to Miami.

It took me a few seconds to figure out what you were talking about but after looking at Google maps it looks like this building would be directly infront of you if you were coming on the Rickenbacker Ramp towards I-95/US-1. Its Nordica.

The Mad Hatter · #11 Posted **Apr 26, 2006, 9:16 PM**

soleil, is not and I repeat it again, is not underconstruction. last time i passed by about 2weeks ago the site was still a parking lot, with about 20trees on it.and looking at that picture, you can still see the parking lot

And why do you suppose all these different sources (including now the downtown development authority) are saying they are under construction??

Dale · #14 Posted **Apr 27, 2006, 3:02 PM**

Soleil is easily the most under construction not under construction project in Miami.

You could put Met3 up there too. Emporis even has Infinity II under construction. There are actual buildings still standing on that site that have't even been demolished yet.

the story

High-rise workers killed in fall
Three-foot layer of drying concrete also fell, trapped workers

Sunday, May 7, 2006; Posted: 11:47 a.m. EDT (15:47 GMT)

BAL HARBOUR, Florida (AP) -- A support frame collapsed at a high-rise construction project Saturday, killing three workers who became trapped in quick-drying concrete as co-workers dug to try to free them, authorities said.

The workers were on the 27th level of the building, pouring its concrete roof, when the supporting frame structure below them gave way, dropping them to the 26th floor, said Capt. Al Cruz of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.

A 3-foot layer of hardening concrete completely encased one worker and partially buried the others, fire rescue officials said. The cause of the frame collapse was not immediately determined. (Co-worker: Victim trapped in concrete was screaming -- 1:40)

The identities of the three workers killed were not immediately known. A fourth worker was taken to a hospital with suspected heart trouble, authorities said.

A message left for the construction company Boran Craig Barber Engel Construction Co., of Naples, was not immediately returned.

Police identified the building project as One Bal Harbour. It is to be a 26-story condominium with an adjoining hotel, according to the Web site for Bonita Springs-based developer WCI Communities Inc.

"Today's event was very unfortunate and our thoughts are with the families of those who were involved," the company said in a statement released to The Miami Herald. "We take great care to ensure the safety of construction crews, but at this time we have no information about what may have occurred."

The building had passed all inspections, said Dan Nieda of Bal Harbour's building department.

Bal Harbour, just north of Miami Beach, is known for its tall hotels and high-end shopping.

I was going to say Met3 too, but at least there's actually something going on there. Collonade (Dadeland) is another one that cleared early and ended up shifting dirt for months.
