New plans have been revealed of the $20 million renovation of the long shutterred and abandoned Coconut Grove Playhouse.

Plans a pproved by the Historic Preservation Board in April included tearing down the existing 1,100 theater, but preserving the front v shaped building along Main Highway. The front building and new modern theater would be separated by an open courtyard. The front building would include ground level retail as the original plans in 1926 by Richard Kiehnel.

Also included in the plans are a five story parking garage to be run by Miami Parking Authority and 32 loft apartments.

An appeal against the plans will be heard before Miami Commissioners on October 26th.

Earlier this week we showed Gran Paraiso, which is close to topping off and One Paraiso, which will be completed by the end of the year.

In the Paraiso District, Paraiso Bay is nearly complete and is expected to open soon and topped off in July 2016.

Both cranes have been removed from Paraiso Bayviews since we last looked in March and the tower topped off in May of this year.

Construction is also underway on Michael Schwartz's new restaurant at the edge of the water in the Paraiso District called Amara at Paraiso. The restaurant will be 4,500 square feet and have seats for 150. Amara at Paraiso is expected to open in November.

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.
