TBT (October 23, 2017) - 2 years ago the abandoned Chart House located on the edge of Biscayne Bay in Coconut Grove started demolition. The new Regatta Harbour will eventually take the place of the old Chart House restaurant and a new seawall is currently being built on the perimeter.

The Chart House in Coconut Grove is now being demolished after the initial demolition date of September 11th was delayed because of Hurricane Irma.

Built in 1982, with 10,515 square feet, The Chart House was designed by architect Joe Lancor of Hawaii who also designed many other Chart Houses across the country.

The Chart House closed in November 2015 after 33 years to make way for a mixed use development called The Harbour that will have two restaurants, entertainment event space, marina with 400 boat slips, a public baywalk and converting the seaplane hangars into retail space. It will be developed by The Grove Bay Hospitality Group who received the contract by Miami City Commissioners in 2013. The Harbour was approved by voters in a 2013 referendum.

The Harbour is expected to be open early 2019 and cost $80 million.
