Construction is rising fast at Brickell City Centre since our last update. Swire has closed the 8th St. metromover station until Summer of 2015, they have started construction on the retail portion below North Squared Condo and they have added the skywalk above 7th St connecting the towers.

Rise Brickell City Center has since risen to 17 floors and Reach Brickell City Centre has risen to 13 floors. 

Hotel East is the tower that has been built the quickest with many of the windows being installed and a few of the glass balconies being added on. 

The retail portion of Brickell City Centre is taking shape with most of the steel frames going up and concrete being poured to create the floors.

Lawsuit Filed To Stop Island Gardens On Watson Island

Site Of Island Gardens on Watson Island

After receiving approval in May, Flagstone has begun doing site work on Watson Island, which includes preparing the area for a marina to dock mega yachts. However, Flagstone has not given a timeframe when they plan to start the rest of the project.

Two Miami residents are suing to block the project according to the Miami Herald. They argue that the city approved to lease the site at $2 million a year based on the original agreement in 2001 and Flagstone should not have to pay that amount. Over time, the lease for the site should be valued at over $ 7 million a year based on 2014 estimates. 

The residents want new bids for the site and the existing contract thrown out.

A judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Steve Kneapler against The Grove Bay Investment Group the claiming the city did not have enough votes to pass a referendum allowing the waterfront project to be built. 

Voters approved an $18 million two story waterfront restaurant to replace Scotty's Landing and The Chart House, which is next to Miami City Hall. Scotty's Landing restaurant has been there for 35 years and is a local favorite. Part of the approval process is the restoring of two old Pan-Am hangars, which was formally used to store airplanes. Coconut Grove architect firm Arquitectonica is designing the project. More renderings of the waterfront design can be seen here.

Kneapler plans on appealing.
