Two years ago at this time, foundation work was starting to take place at the site after breaking ground in April 2014.

The four towers within the 10 acre Paraiso Complex - Paraiso Bay, One Paraiso, Gran Paraiso and Paraiso Bayviews in Edgewater are moving along quickly.
In March, Paraiso Bay reached the 40th floor and is now currently on the 54th floor of the 55 story building and is about to top out.
Workers are in the process of building the 15th floor of One Paraiso, which was on the 9th floor when we last looked in May. The windows are starting to be installed on the lower portions of the building.
Paraiso Bayviews is about to hit the 13th floor of construction. Ground breaking on the 44 story tower took place in August 2015.
The last of the four towers in the complex to break ground, Gran Paraiso, is currently on the 6th floor. The building will have 317 residential units and buyers include baseball player Alex Rodriguez and DJ David Guetta.
Just in front of Gran Paraiso is the Paraiso Beach Club, a restaurant by Michael Schwartz which also just started construction.

In December 2015, 17th & Second Ave Properties Corp controlled by Enrique Manhard and Vivane Sasson de Manhard purchased almost a block of land in the Edgewater district from NE 2nd Ave and NE 2nd CT and between NE 17th Terrance and NE 18th St.
The site was then sold to ASRR Capital Ltd., led by Alex Sapir and Rotem Rosen in February 2016 for $33 million. Since the land was purchased, a church built in 1945 and a three story building built in 1924 have been demolished.
The S&S Diner received an eviction notice and is supposed to be out of the building by today.
ASRR Capital Ltd. has not revealed what they plan to do with the site, but they partnered with investors CNMB International and G-Resources Group for a 67 percent interest in the project.
Across the street from the site, a Vib Hotel was planned on a 7.4 acre land and scheduled to break ground in 2015, but no activity has occurred on the land.
Update - S&S Diner is allowed to stay in business until the court decides if the their lease extension is valid.
