One Paraiso Under Construction

Almost a year ago, One Paraiso had just reached the 28th floor of the 53 story condo in Edgewater, Miami and when we last looked in March, the building was about to top off.

One Paraiso is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year, while the last year tower in the Paraiso District, Gran Paraiso, is will soon top off.

Gran Paraiso Close To Topping Out

The last of the four towers in the Paraiso District, Gran Paraiso, is close to topping out at 55 stories.

When we last looked at the entire Paraiso District in March, Gran Paraiso was just past the half way mark of construction. 

During Hurricane Irma, the South crane jib collapsed during the heavy winds and causes the counterweights on the back to fall to the ground. Residents at two next door buildings were asked to evacuate for safety reasons.

When completed, over 1,300 units will be delivered to buyers in the Paraiso District.

In the next couple of months, One Thousand Museum should be above 900 Biscayne in height and on its way to its final height of 706 feet by the end of the year.

Two years ago, the site was getting ready for its concrete pour.

Office in the Grove To Have Hearing For Historic Designation

Office in the Grove

In October 2016, a demolition permit was filed for the Office in the Grove located at 2669 S. Bayshore Drive in Coconut Grove, which was purchased by Mast Capital in April 2014 for $29.5 million.

The nine story hexagon office tower was built in 1972 and was designed by architect Kenneth Treister who also designed the Shoppes at Mayfair in Coconut Grove. The Office in the Grove has a landscape berm, which was meant to hide the parking and have the first three floors open.

The non-profit group Docomomo / US Florida  applied to the City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board to declare the building historic and prevent it from demolition. The date is set for Tuesday, September 5th. Hearing starts at 3 p.m. at Miami City Hall, 3500 Pan American Dr., Miami, FL 33133.

The Big Bubble has photos of inside the building before it was renovated.
