Panorama Tower
The 868 foot Panorama Tower, the tallest building in Miami and tallest building South of New York City is getting closer to completion since we last looked at the beginning of the year.
The lighting on the exterior of Panorama Tower illuminates the tower at night while it looms large over the other buildings in the vicinity.
With incredible views from the very top of the building, Panorama Tower is expected to be completed in March.

Harlem Square Site in Overtown
Coming soon to the Overtown district of Miami is Harlem Square, which will be a Supper Club/Lounge. The site used to be the home of legendary promoter Clyde Killen that was built in 1925 and also used as a liquor store.
Harlem Square will be a rebirth of the old Harlem Square Club that used to be in Overtown and where what is considered one of the best live albums, "Live, At The Harlem Square Club, 1963" was recorded. $1.2 million of CRA funds will be allocated for the project.
Located next to Harlem Square is the Streamline Moderne X-Ray Clinic of Dr. Samuel H. Johnson that was built in 1939. The X-Ray clinic was used by blacks in the area because of segregation and was used until 1972. The building was donated to the Black Archives History in 1981.
With Harlem Square and the addition of a new Marcus Samuelsson restaurant, Overtown is poised for growth in the area.
Future Development Site In Red
Swire Properties and Colombian based Isanic Trading are going to be developing a 72,000 square foot lot located at 650 South Miami Avenue in Brickell across that street from Brickell City Centre, according to The Real Deal.
The site is on the location of Tobacco Road, which was demolished in November 2014 and was the oldest bar in Miami. A house that was built in 1920 was also on the site and demolished in March 2015. Also on the site is an empty parking lot and the restaurants River Oyster Bar and Bonding.
Isanic Trading is owned by Colombian developer Carlos Mattos who purchased sites across the street at 19 and 42 SW 6th Street, which were the site of the former Associated Photos buildings, for $9 million in August 2015. Mattos also purchased a site in Downtown Miami with Ytech International for $21 million in January 2015 and owns a 110,082 square foot lot next to the Miami River, which was purchased for $28 million in 2012.
