Here’s When Demolition On One Bayfront Plaza Is Expected to Begin

Demolition at One Bayfront Plaza is tentatively expected to get underway in early October, according to a memo posted to social media by @AllThings305.

The memo was issued by the manager of an office building across the street.

The first phase, which includes demolition of a garage and a portion of the structure closest to the street, is expected to last through December, with the second phase beginning in January.

One lane will be blocked on Biscayne Boulevard and SE 1st Street during the first phase, between 8PM and 2 AM.

A demolition permit for the 19-story building was approved in June, but is in revision, Building Department records show.

Miami has stringent demolition requirements and will monitor the demolition process throughout, the memo states.

The owner of the property is planning a landmark 1,049-foot supertall tower on the site, with offices, a convention hotel, residences, and a shopping mall.

I still have hope for a revived SkyRise plan for that, with a new design, of course.

The SkyRise was a tacky idea. Glad it got shut down. Very childish project

Every major city has a signature observation deck, so the SkyRise wasn’t childish but a great. I hope we will soon get it revived!!

…and most of those observation decks are located in office towers, and not in a dedicated toenail clipper observation tower.

I actually loved the design but I’d be ok with getting another needle looking observation deck there, as long as we get one.

Go figure, when Arquitectonica is not designing another box, it’s an f-ing toenail clipper.

Because of the bay and ocean, each with their own skyline, creating multiple water and city views, etc and Miami being the biggest sunbelt coastal city, it’s surprising there’s no observation decks planned. I guess it doesn’t fit in with a tropical/beach themed location, but even central FL has the citrus tower.

It will be a while before anything is built here, I hope they don’t compromise and just build another box

The views from this building are going to be better than most buildings in Brickell.

And it’ll take several more years at a minimum for the developer to break ground
