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.

When we last looked at the Miami Beach Convention Center construction in January 2017, the outer façade was stripped and work was being done on the expansion. 

The $620 million renovation and expansion will eventually have 1.4 million square feet of space. The new design on the the outside of the building is virtually complete, giving the building a modern look.

Although the building is open, completion is expected by the end of the year.
