Proposal Site For 450 Foot Flag of Gratitude
Billionaire Miami resident Mike Fernandez wants to build a 450 foot flagpole with the American flag in Downtown Miami. Inspired by a similar idea in Wisconsin, Fernandez thinks this would be a good addition to Miami.
ExMiami is reporting that Fernandez want to build the Flag on Parcel B, which is taxpayer land and located behind the American Airlines Arena.
The cost would be between $5-10 million and Fernandez said he would pay the cost for the flag.
Plans have been submitted to the FAA for approval.
Low Rise Apartments in West Brickell
A Brazilian airline investor named José Afonso Assumpção, has been buying properties all over Miami in 2013, including land in Edgewater and Brickell. The buying has been done under the name Miami Sunrise Properties and been operated by Elena Arechaga.
Some of the land that has been purchased in West Brickell were a few low rise apartment buildings and single family homes located between SW 10th St and SW 11th St. and bordered to the west and east by SW 3rd Ave and SW 2nd Ave. Assumpção paid $13 million for the land, totaling 92,250 square feet. According to Metro1, Assumpção had plans to build a project called "1010 Second", which would have been two 33 story buildings with a hotel and apartments. Apparently that project has fell through and another investor has offered almost double what Assumpção paid.
All of the residents of the apartments and houses have already left and the buildings have been boarded up. They will probably stay that way until Assumpção sells the land to another investor or decides to build.
Across the street to the North of the land owned by Miami Sunrise Properties was a two story public housing complex that has been recently torn down. The land is owned by the city of Miami and zoning codes allow for a building up to 24 stories. No word on what they are planning to build on the site.
West Brickell has already seen a a recent transformation and with development of this land will continue the metamorphosis.
Brickell House On Brickell Bay Drive
Since our last construction progress photos of Brickell House, the building is getting closer to completion.
The roof is installed and workers are finishing the overhang to the lobby driveway.
Brickell House will have a sophisticated automated parking garage for residents.
The completion date is expected by end of Summer/early Fall 2014.
Overview of the Brickell Metrolink Tracks
The Greenlink Project is proposing a ten mile linear park that would extend under the Brickell Metrorail station to the Dadeland station.
The idea is to have all the dead space under tracks converted into more of a green space that would be ideal for bikers and joggers. The plan would increase property value around the linear park.
Right now the group has $2 million for funding.
If everything goes as planned then the project could start within a year and be completed in five to ten years.
East Coast Building Site Next To I-95
Last week a new construction project broke ground on land just south of the almost completed Flagler on the River. The project is called East Coast Building and is being developed by Alex Mantecon and Guillermo Vadell.
The project will be a mixed used building that will be mainly a storage facility, but have two restaurants, including one on the 9th floor rooftop.
The ground floor restaurant will be 4,500 square feet and the rooftop top restaurant will be 7,000 square feet and have incredible views of the Miami skyline.
Construction is expected to be completed by June of 2015.
Below are renderings of the project.
The iconic "Welcome to Miami Beach" sign is being refurbished according to exMiami. The look, isn't changing, but only slight changes will be made.
Since 1997 the sign has been a popular spot for tourists and residents to take photos. At Christmas, the sign is covered in Christmas decorations for the holiday season.
