CitizenM Hotel Brickell Site

Demolition plans have been filed for Perricone’s Marketplace and Cafe in Brickell for a new 19 story CitizenM Hotel, according to The Real Deal.

The 10,965 square foot lot was sold in October 2017 for $16.18 million after originally purchased for $725,000 in August 1997.

The CitizenM Hotel Brickell will cost $46 million to build and have 252 hotel rooms at a height of 253 feet.

TBT - Progression Of Brickell City Centre From South Miami Ave.

TBT (November 14, 2014) - The landscape along South Miami Avenue has changed drastically prior to 2014 when Brickell City Centre was just empty, vacant land. The photos below show the progression of Brickell City Centre, including the East Hotel before it was eventually completed in 2016.

Swire Properties' Brickell City Centre is a massive construction project in the heart of Brickell. It's hard to get a sense of how big the project is until you stand on South Miami Ave. and see the construction on three full city blocks. 

On what was once empty lots, are now large skyscrapers changing the Miami skyline. 

Below are photos of Brickell City Centre facing East on South Miami Ave where construction on Hotel East, Reach Brickell City Centre, North Squared Condo, offices, wellness center and retail are being built. In the other direction facing West (not in the photos) is construction on Rise Brickell City Centre, offices and retail.

Brickell City Centre's growth can also be seen from the 8th St. Metromover Station before its closing.

When we looked at the project last month, the building was on the 62nd floor and a video was made showing a finished unit in the building.

Brickell Flatiron is being developed by CMC Group and designed by Luis Revuelta and is expected to be completed Summer 2019.

Demolition Of The Oldest Bar In Miami - Tobacco Road

Demolition Of The Oldest Bar In Miami - Tobacco Road

TBT (November 19, 2014) - 4 years ago this month Tobacco Road was demolished after 102 years of history. We previously showed a photo tour of the building before it was torn down and a photo tour of the building as it was being stripped inside. After the lot sat empty for years, a pizza place recently opened on the site and the land will eventually be part of the the Brickell City Centre expansion with a 54 story condo.

Over the past 10 plus days, demolition has taken place on the 102 year old Tobacco Road. The demolition crew was Thunder Demolition with Group 3 Contractors. 

The bar held the first liquor license in Miami and now debris from the building is all that remains on the site. 

During the demolition, the team from Thunder Demolition was able to save the original Dade-County Pine from the building. Employees from Tobacco Road plan on using the original wood to make coasters, cutting boards and tables to preserve the history of the original location. General Manager Joel Rivera and employees still need to raise $50,000 and are doing this until December 2 through Kickstarter. They need any donations possible to help move into a new location across the lot.

Photos of bar during operation can be seen here. A video of the bar during operation can be seen here. Photos of the bar right before demolition and all the items removed can be seen here.

Cranes Removed From One Thousand Museum - Getting Closer To Completion

One Thousand Museum

Both cranes have been removed from the East and West side of the building of One Thousand Museum, along with all of the hoists. This gives the building the cleanest look at the exoskeleton surrounding the tower without any obstructions in the way.

Since we last looked in August, the cladding is almost installed around the parking levels at the base of the tower. The glass fiber reinforced concrete is nearly placed on most of the exoskeleton, which started to be installed in November 2017 when the tower reached the 57th floor.

The Zaha Hadid design tower topped off in February of this year at 709 feet after starting to go vertical in August 2015.
