The apartment building, designed by Arquitectonica, sat abandoned for many years before being demolished.

The Pleasure Emporium Demolished
TBT (July 6, 2015) - 4 years ago, the buildings that were located along the Miami River in Brickell were demolished to make way for 4 60 story towers called Miami River. The project is to be developed by Chetrit Group and designed by Kobi Karp.
The site is still vacant today.
After receiving approval from the Urban Development Review Board, demolition has begun at the Miami River site located just East of I-95 and along the Miami River.
The buildings on the site that were demolished include the Pleasure Emporium III, Sir Speedy and several single family homes. Currently Finnegan's on the River and a few boating stores remain on the site closest to the river and should be demolished soon.
The Miami River site is part of the transformation of West Brickell and will be built in five phases of construction.
Renderings of the project can be seen here.
