The Miami Herald is speculating that the Genting Group might be looking to flip the 14 acres of land they purchased in 2011 for $236 million and even had a potential buyer look at the site.

When the site was purchased, Genting planned to build a mega resort on the edge of Biscayne Bay that would also include a casino. Included in the purchase of the land was the former Miami Herald Building, which took almost a year to completely tear down. 

There was even discussion in 2014 with The Related Group to partner on a project, but plans never came to fruition.

The only activity on the site is the renovation of the historic Boulevard Shops on Biscayne Boulevard.

Two lots in Brickell located on the Miami River at 39 and 55 SW Miami Ave were sold last year for $18.3 million and purchased by the entity Brickellview 3114 LLC. 

The previous owner, Rafael Aragones, planned on building a 55 story residential condo with 127 units called Edge on Brickell and even built a sales center on the site. However, those plans were abandoned with the sales of the two lots. 

Brickellview 3114 LLC revealed plans for a new building, now called The Edge on Brickell, according to SFBJ. The 53 story tower will have 70 residential units with 200 hotel rooms and 182 parking spaces. A restaurant will be located on the ground floor and a pedestrian walkway along the Miami River.

Rockne Krebs' The Miami Line To Light Up Again

The neon lights that used to light over The Miami River called "The Miami Line", may finally light again in the next few weeks, according to The Miami New Times.

The neon lights on the Metrorail tracks are the work of artist Rockne Krebs, who was commissioned in 1984 to produce the work for the Miami-Dade Art in Public Places Program. Initially, the lights only spanned 300 feet, but was later extended to 1,540 feet.

When "The Miami Line" first debuted, the city was not known for its lighting and that section of town was very inactive. Over the years, Miami/Brickell has grown to include many colorful buildings such as The Miami Tower and Brickell World Plaza, that only enhance the city, especially at night.

Below are photos of The Miami Line in 2012 before the lights burned out.
