Citadel Brickell Demolition Permit Approved

A demolition permit has been approved at a Brickell property reportedly owned by hedge fund giant Citadel.

According to the demolition permit, total demolition of a 6,000 square feet building at 1250 Brickell Bay Drive is planned.

A 12-unit apartment building on the site.

Citadel is also said to own the office building next door, and is planning an iconic headquarters tower across the street.

The demolition permit for the apartment building was applied for on September 15, and approved on December 19.

Yesterday, a contractor was attached to the permit.

Gerald Beeson is listed as a contact on the permit. According to Citadel’s website, Beeson is the COO.

1250 BB Asset Co LLC purchased the property for $20 million in August, county records show.

This will be amazing for Miami and Brickell! I think Citadel will also carve out room on the Bay for recreation, retail and dining. If we are going to build waterfront, that’s a smart way to do it. So excited for Citadel and its talented workforce to be joining us in Brickell!

I wish the city would mandate bay walk improvements before groundbreaking like many other cities do. It will be 7 years before this tower is built…

How do propse that be done?
The City of Miami confiscates a person’s land?
As you wish for the Gov’t to take this guy’s property….how much do you wish for?
All of it? Why not?
Hey…if taking a little bit from someone else is okay…it must be great to just take everything, right?

Land use requirements for legitimate government purpose (sea level erosion) and egress/ingress.

It’s not confiscating. We require sidewalks don’t we? Land owners understand the public necessity.

Just enough to ride a bike, or sit.

Obviously not anything that would cause undue burden or constitute a taking. Anything within the owners interest.

No if we wanted “everything” we would move to a deserted island. People are in Miami because of the waterfront parks adjacent to the city.

Work with the owners to coordinate with owners plans. Maybe they want the same thing and happy to have the city support it?

miami is dying because of all of these transplants. housing is unbelievably expensive and when the working class cannot afford miami they will leave and the rich won’t have anyone to provide for them.

Miami is not “dying” from transplants. It wasn’t dying when thousands of cubans flocked here in the last century and it’s not dying now. It’s called immigration and people of all socioeconomic backgrounds do it.

Let’s Get Ahead of Inflation

I feel your struggle. Even with a good salary people are cutting back.
Everyone is being stretched by inflation.

We need to lift wages and enact economic policies that increase wages and salaries for local full time employees or provide additional incentives exclusively for full-time residents, like decreased utilities costs, free wifi, and tax credits to local employers and workers.

Local Miami Perks

We should partner with entertainment venues. Those employed by local employers should get access to Dolphins games, restaurants and movies at discounted rates.

Disney used to give discounts to Florida residents, not sure if they do, but something like this, spearhead by the mayor and City.

What commie drivel is even this lol. You just suggested what the Romans famously did before the collapse of their empire ‘free dolphins tickets and beer’ = free bread and circuses. NOTHING CAN BE FREE as long as there’s a cost for energy. You want free shit become a physicist and figure out nuclear fusion

It’s not commie, it’s smartie.

I didn’t say free. I said discounted. Florida locals are already paying for it, and created the infrastructure that out of staters use with out of state salaries that often double Florida salaries. That is driving up cost of living here.

It’s also a locals incentive to get people to relocate here rather than temporarily working remotely.

Haven’t you heard of local perks by private companies?

These ideals are not novel and they are happening now. It’s an opportunity to come with incentives that also bring in revenue. Like kids get in free at theme parks… maybe we can have locals free nihht at our art museums
Or historic. Museums
Or
Aquarium.

You realize wage inflation is currently what is keeping us in inflation territory right? Everything you stated above is a source of inflation not a cure for it.

Don’t Get Twisted Mussolini

It’s more complicated than that, Jimmy Crack Corn. It’s actually artificial salary inflation of remote workers moving to areas with historically lower salaries. It seems those remote workers are getting all benefits of top-earning city salaries without the taxes of those cities, and then cost of living goes up for those with local salaries employed by Miami businesses.

I hear some even illegally or unethically work two jobs remotely without informing their employers, which is further inflating the market.

Dear G-d.
The answer to inflation is wage growth?
And Govt spending for incentives??!

Federal Govt spending is not the solution, it is what caused the problem.

I believe everything should be earned in life. Didn’t mean government spending. I meant local discounts for services and goods being bought. It passes the cost onto part-time residents who can absorb the inflation and incentives growth because people will want to relocate here full time? I’m not an economic expert but trying to brainstorm…

So Miami wasn’t dying during the crime wave in the 1970s and early 80s, declared bankruptcy in 1996, or when the market crashed in 2008, all when it was considered “affordable?”

As a recent transplant to this city I’m glad to see the influence, wealth, and forward thinking that is being brought here. This city could be so much better than it is but complacency, greed, and corruption have plagued this city for decades. It’s been reliant on the tourism industry and hasn’t been taking steps to attract other sectors of the market. The pandemic has helped revive this city and remote work has opened up the door for more people to move here. Cheap real estate is attracting businesses as well. I’d like to see more outside influence start to take hold in the local government. Miami needs to start acting like a major city and stop resting on its laurels.

Thank you Anonymous. Happy to see our ideas being recognized. We’ve observed the same sedentary vacuums in creative problem solving. It’s not that there are not great leaders. The leaders seem to be making valiant efforts, but they need help working together. It also helps to have the public share ideas with them in a constructive way (not the vicious character breaking we see on the national news) because the goal is to build each other and our city up.

If the Citadel complex is really built, the surrounding apartments should increase in value, especially the Jade (more luxurious) and the Brickell House (newer).

Also the area in Brickell around the Underline just east of I95 will skyrocket, with new developments going up and more employees looking to live walking distance to Office towers in Brickell without a car or crossing a bridge.

A few years plus 5+ years of construction. It will be 2030 before this bad boy is finished in it’s entirety.

The next Enron coming to Miami…yay! Citadel is going to do down in history as the culprit for the inevitable recession. A market maker who front runs every trade with their Hedge Fund with PFOF. Whatever value they bring to Miami real estate, it is at the expense of millions of retail investors and companies they naked short into non-existence. Miami should know who is coming to town.
