Demolition Begins At Site Where 57-Story M-Tower Planned

Demolition of a downtown Miami parking garage is now underway, new photos by Phillip Pessar show.

The 7-story garage is being demolished to make way for the 57-story M-Tower Apartment building.

Building Department records show that a demolition permit for the garage was approved in March. The construction permit to begin the new tower is not yet approved.

M-Tower is planned to rise 598 feet and include:

  • 675 apartments and
  • 10,411 square feet of retail
  • 694 parking spaces in an 8-story podium

The garage being demolished has 658 spaces.

Lackluster design but still better than that horrible garage. Besides, density in this area is crucial.

That’s the best part. People are dying to be near metro mover and all the city amenities it brings nearby.

Should be restored to its 1910s appearance and converted to lofts.

Yes, but keep in mind that those spaces originally had not much use. Compare that to the 675 residents now planned for this building.

hideous parking podium and mediocre uninspiring design, yet still better than what was there before.

Good to get rid of structure and good that a new apartment building will be built. Design – BAD!!!
