A Room at the El Eden Motel
After being purchased for $18.4 million in January 2017, demolition has now started on the two story El Eden Motel in Brickell.
The El Eden Motel was originally built in 1976 and then expanded in 1990 with the purchase of the North end of the lot for $390,000.
With 53 rooms, all of the rooms had large mirrors over and in front of the beds. Some rooms even had all the walls and ceilings covered in mirrors.
Once the motel is completely demolished, a 24 story hotel with 263 rooms will rise, with construction expected to start first quarter 2018. The project will be developed by Tony Cho of Metro 1 and Robert Finvarb of Finvarb Companies.
The Starlite Motel next door, which sold for $25 million in December 2014 remains open.

The buyers are Tony Cho of Metro 1 Development and Robert Finvarb of Robert Finvarb Companies who plan to develop the site into a 24 story, 250,000 square foot mixed use hotel. The project will be designed by Arquitectonica, who also designed the newly opened Brickell City Centre, which is located across the street.
The two southern portions of the three lots were purchased for $35,000 and $90,000 in 1975 and the El Eden Motel was built in 1976. In 1988, the last lot on the North part of the site was sold for $390,000 and the expansion of the Motel was complete in 1990.
The Starlite Motel next to the El Eden Motel was sold for $25 million in December 2014.
Demolition of the El Eden Motel should begin later this year and groundbreaking on the new mixed use hotel should start in early 2018.
