Collins Park Hotel Construction
When we looked at Collins Park Hotel in February 2017, the buildings had been gutted and only the outer shell had remained for the new construction.
Collins Park Hotel consists of six buildings that were built between 1938 and 1953 on 1.65 acres of land at 2000 Park Avenue in Miami Beach. The hotel will have 296 rooms and have all of the rooftops connected.
Collins Park Hotel is being developed by Chetrit Group and Kobi Karp is the project architect.
Canvas Condo
Canvas Condo in the Arts and Entertainment District is getting closer to completion and for a Summer 2018 opening.
Since we last looked at the project December 2017, the last crane has been removed from the building and the majority of the exterior has been painted. A year ago, Canvas was just reaching the 21st floor.
Canvas will have a 6,000 square foot indoor/outdoor rooftop restaurant along with ground level retail and restaurants.

Square Station
With two towers at 34 stories and 710 apartment units, Square Station in the Arts & Entertainment district is soon to open.
The finishing touches are being made on the building including the ground level retail and the amenities deck between the two towers.
Construction started on Square Station in October 2016 and topped off September 2017.
Another Melo Group project across the street, Art Plaza, started going vertical recently.

Unit at Babylon Apartments
The Babylon Apartments in Brickell located 240 SE 14th Street was approved to be demolished earlier this year and demolition has started as the building has been fenced off.
Built in 1982 and with only 15 apartments, the Babylon Apartments were designed by Arquitectonica as a 5 story building with a folded ziggurat façade. Over the years, the single family homes surrounding the building have been demolished and replaced with high rise condominiums. Plans have not been revealed, but once the Babylon Apartments are demolished another high rise building will most likely rise in its place.
Below are photos and a video of the inside of Babylon Apartments before it was demolished.
MiamiCentral Station at NW 6th Street
MiamiCentral Station is getting closer to completion since we last looked at the project at the beginning of December 2017.
NW 6th Street is now open for traffic after being shut down for construction. The floor to ceiling glass encompasses all of the ground level as open air skylights are visible as you look up.
2 MiamiCentral, with 10 levels of office space at 190,000 square feet is also getting closet to completion over the North portion of MiamiCentral Station.
A year ago MiamiCentral looked like this.
Construction on MiamiCentral is expected to be completed by the end of April with Brightline service to Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach starting soon after.
