Flagler On The River Overlooking The Miami River & Downtown Miami
Since our last construction progress photos, Flagler on the River has officially opened.
Construction began in March 2013 and was just recently completed.
Next to Flagler on the River is the construction of the East Coast Building, which will be a storage facility with a rooftop restaurant.
Entrance to South Pointe Park Pier
From 6pm to 8pm Miami Beach will have the grand opening for South Pointe Park Pier.
The old pier had been closed since 2004 until city officials decided to build a new one to go along with the revised South Pointe Park that opened in 2009.
The project cost $4.8 million and is a great spot to watch cruise ships come in and out of Port of Miami or to watch the sunrise.
Radio Tower Next To The Miami Herald Building
The radio tower next to the Miami Herald Building was supposed to come down last month, but after some delays the tower started to come down earlier this week.
The tower is currently halfway down and should be completely removed by early next week or sooner.
Genting is still tearing down the Miami Herald building, which is taking a long time.
Brickell Tennis Club Was Located in the Heart of Brickell
In the middle of Brickell's urban sprawl was a tennis club that occupied over a block of land. The Brickell Tennis Club was located at 601 South Miami Ave and had multiple tennis courts with a clubhouse. It was built approximately between 2003-2005.
In March of 2011, Swire Properties acquired the land for $14 million to build the $1.05 billion Brickell City Centre. The condo Reach Brickell City Centre will be built on the land that was previously the Brickell Tennis Club.
In July of 2012, Swire was able to acquire the land to the North of the Brickell Tennis Club that was used as the parking lot for the facilities. This land is part of the second phase of construction for Brickell City Centre and will be the location of the condo North Squared.
Demolition of the Brickell Tennis Club began in May of 2012.
Below are photos from demolition.

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.
