The Pleasure Emporium Demolished

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.

The Transformation Of West Brickell - Part 2

West Brickell

The area West of the Metrorail tracks and East of I-95 in Brickell is typically known as West Brickell and this previous area of houses and low rise condos is continuing to change with new developments. 

Last year we looked at West Brickell and its transformation and many of those buildings under construction such as Vista Grande, City Heights, West Brickell View and City Crossings have been completed. A new wave of condos are being constructed or under development. 

On the Southern end of West Brickell Atton Hotel and Le Parc at Brickell are under construction right next to each other and what used to be low rise apartments. Both of these buildings just recently topped out.

Also currently under construction are SoMa at Brickell, Brickell View Terrance, Brickell Ten and Broadstone Brickell. Before construction began on SoMa at Brickell there was a low rise apartment complex that sat abandoned for many months before it was finally torn down. The 8 story building is almost near completion. On the Broadstone Brickell site, there was also an abandoned apartment complex that was vacant for over a year before it was eventually torn down. This land was originally purchased by Miami Sunrise Properties for $13 million  before being flipped and sold for $20 million to Alliance Residential Company. 

A project that will change the whole look and feel of the area is Miami River. Miami River will be compromised of four 60 story towers that will include residential units, hotel and office space. 

Recent purchases in the area within the past year include Millennium Developments ($16M), Brickell City Rentals ($10.5M), Marathon Lodging ($15.5M) and Optimum USA Brickell 2 ($25M). The purchased site of Marathon Lodging was supposed to be a Walgreens before being sold. For 8 years the site was home to an abandoned car wash. None of these developers have announced what they planned on building on these recently purchased sites. Whatever they plan to build, it will definitely continue to change the look and feel of the area.

Brickell Ten Up To Six Stories

Inside The Abandoned Apartments At The Broadstone Brickell Site

Abandoned Apartment in West Brickell

Before construction began at the Broadstone Brickell site, an apartment complex sat abandoned for almost a year before they were torn down recently. 

When the residents vacated, they left behind many belongings, including couches, T.V.'s and clothing. 

Eventually the whole complex was boarded up before the apartments could be vandalized. 

Construction Begins On Broadstone Brickell

After plans for Broadstone Brickell were revealed in September 2014, construction has begun on the site at 267 SW 11th St. The addition of the 372 rental condo is adding to the transformation of West Brickell from single family houses to condos. 

The land was originally purchased by Miami Sunrise Properties for $13 million, but was flipped and sold for over $20 million to Alliance Residential Company in November 2014 for the 1.9 acre site. 

The residential condo will rise 24 stories and Moss and Associates in the contractor for the project.
