Capital at Brickell Site Still For Sale

Located near the western edge of Brickell, Capital at Brickell was supposed to consist of two towers that would be residential, office and retail space. The two towers were going to rise 53 and 57 stories. However, the buildings fell victim to the recession in 2008 and construction never got started.

While the 2.78 acre land sat empty for a few years, two Mexican Developers, Cabi Developers and Brickell Central were fighting for control of the land.

In 2013, CBRE began marketing the site for sale. Because of the location and the rapid development in Brickell the land was expected to exceed $100 million for bids. The current site is approved for 1.3 million square feet, but under the 2010 Miami 21 zoning code the new developer is allowed to expand to 3.2 million square feet.

The land is still for sale and is currently listed under CBRE's available listings.

Inside the Abandoned Brickell Car Wash Concept

While workers clear out the site to build a Walgreens in Brickell, the lot was previously used as a car wash, called the Car Wash Concept.

Located at 250 SW 7th St., the car wash was built and opened in 1999. For seven years the car wash was functioning and operating before it was finally closed in June 2006. When you walked around the building, all the calendars were open on June 2006 and it felt as if you were back in time. Surprisingly, despite sitting empty for so long, many vandals and graffiti artist were not in the building. There were many cobwebs and a lot of the stuff looked as if it was untouched since they left it in 2006.

Walgreens purchased the lot this year and exactly eight years since it closed, the building was torn down in June 2014.

Below are photos and a video of the building.
