After months of slowly dismantling the Miami Herald building and beginning the official demolition in April 2014, the building is almost completely torn down.
The Northern piece of the building is all that remains and should be fully down by the end of January.
So far, there are no plans for construction in the foreseeable future. Getting has been quiet on the since gambling failed to become legalized. The Miami Herald reports that Miami Tomás Regaledo has not heard from Genting in months and they have not submitted any plans.
Since buying the 14 acre site for $236 million there have been speculation that Genting plans to sell the site, especially for the demand of land on the waterfront.
