Demolition Complete At Sentral Brickell, Where 803 Residential Units Planned

Demolition has been completed at the Sentral Brickell property, where a project with two towers is planned.

Multiple buildings were taken down to make way for Sentral, spanning six separate properties. Office and residential buildings are among those demolished.

Sentral Brickell is planned as twin towers rising 43 stories (480 feet, north tower) and 31 stories (360 feet, south tower).

The project is planned to include:

  • 803 units (581 units in the north tower, 222 units in the south tower)
  • 11,137 square feet of ground-floor retail
  • 636 parking spaces hidden behind liner residential units, in an 11-story podium

Sieger Suarez is the architect.

PMG and Sentral are the developers.

Fingers crossed for non short term rental focused Condos!

Just so we’re clear, in any building where short-term rentals are allowed, it’s also allowed to occupy the unit as a full-time resident. The owner has the choice whether to live there himself or to rent it out on a short-term or long-term basis. In those Miami buildings I’ve analyzed personally, more than half of the building is occupied by full-time residents.

What short term building? Most all buildings in Brickell are owned privately or rented for full year terms. Shot terms are more seen in Wynwood and Miami Beach

Wth are you talking about. I own several airbnb units in the very few Brickell buildings that currently allow it, and all of them are over 90% short term rentals. Airbnb is like a plague, as soon as you allow it, investors (like myself) displace owners because the quality of life becomes terrible and no one is willing to pay the “airbnb premium” to live in a lower quality building when you can buy a better unit for less in a better residential building that offers better quality of life.

I feel a bit conflicted myself since I’ve made a great deal of money in the past few years with my units ever since Miami exploded. However I see firsthand how damaging it is for the community. Without even mentioning that it is one of the main causes of housing inflation in Miami because of all the inventory removed from locals. I’m riding the wave a bit more, but at some point I’ll want to stop being part of the problem.

Oh come on….Stop it.
Plague… terrible?
(You may have bought my investment condo in The Club!)

The Club is the worst building in Brickell (except maybe the Fortune House) and it was most definitely over run with Short Term rentals.

Having said that, no one forced me to buy, no one forced me to sell.

I lived in great high floor condo with a wrap balcony and insane views, and you are correct. Not trying to impress anyone, but offering a perspective. I owned investment property in the same building and only rented to professionals on year long leases by choice. Of course there is more money when you furnish an apartment and manage it day to day or week to week, but my resources were allocated elsewhere.

On some weekends, the lobby was like a grotesque baggage claim area in a third world country.
My old neighbor tells me that the guy who bought my place mos def was renting it to transient guests and my neigbor and his wife were not appreciative.
Bad for for my neighbor, but good for the sales price. I’m sure he will sell too.

Apart from my next door neighbors, there isn’t much community in a 635 unit condo building before or after the STR approvals. So why does it matter.

It is not a problem.
Many of the people renting in the Club are young families working to get into the A rated Southside Elementary school. Once in, they will likely work hard, move up, and move out of a place like the Club.

These buildings are great starter buildings for people who need it.
They are great investments for those that can stomach the brain damage of hospitality management without scale.

Entrepreneurship, freedom, and choice are GREAT for the community.

LOL can you be more full of yourself and ignorant at the same time? You talk so much and yet you know so little.

For the record, I am the first Anonymous above that mentionned the plague comment. And funnily enough, I am a Club expert since I own two lines 23, one line 01 (best corner lines in the building) and two 1-bedrooms. I also own two units at Icon tower 3.

I also happened to live there for several years because it was convenient to manage my units.

You’re so clueless that you refer to the club as a 630-unit building when there’s only about 430 units in the entire building.

And everything I said in my first post is accurate. It is 90% short term rental, and the very few innocent people/families that have a 1-year lease, end up leaving after the 1st year because they cannot stand it or because their landlord kicks them out when they realize they can make more money with short term rentals. There’s also a few older people on fixed income who purchased 10 years ago and unfortunately can’t afford to leave because they would lose their homestead. I know because as a long time owner I’ve met everyone. Plus, you probably know about the corrupt management/board in the building…

And my original comment stands. If that building didn’t allow short term rentals, I would be less rich today, but 400 additional Miami families would have a place to live. Now go back to your hole.

Thank you for thinking.

When Miami was founded in 1896, there were many lodging facilities that did not require 12 month leases.

In fact, the Royal Palm hotel was a property that did not require 12 month leases.

DA Dorsey, Miami’s first black millionaire, was a son of slaves, a carpenter, and a landlord who built housing and rented that housing out to workers with less than 12 month leases.
He bought what we now know as Fisher Island, the 33109 zip code, the wealthiest zip code in the USA with average income of $2.2m per year. Many Fisher Island condos do not require 12 month leases.

Can you imagine the “AirBnB buildings” Karen telling Dorsey what he can and cannot do with his property??

There are plenty of clowns that call any building that allows a property owner freedom and flexibility an “AirBnB’ building. As if history began the day he started paying attention.

The fact is, the economy, community, and economic vibrancy in Miami has grown every decade since 1896. In 1900, plenty of northerners came to Miami without 12 month leases.

Miami has grown significantly, and the Marriott’s, Hyatt’s, Schrager’s, Dorsey’s, and other entrepreneur’s who buy property and start a business are a HUGE part of Miami’s success.

Sédanos and Key Food might not thrive in this area because the market is geared towards high-end and international options. People primarily favor stores like Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, or similar establishments. There’s already a saturation of low-income grocery stores in Miami.

Imagine the skyline transformed with the addition of an iconic landmark pyramid building next door, an incorporated new concert hall, One Southside offering spa and park amenities, a newly developed riverwalk and river district, along with the construction of ten new buildings. This expansion surpasses the scale of Miami World Center. Welcome to Brickell 2.0, a thriving hub that promises an abundance of dining, office spaces, cultural venues, and amenities, shaping the future of Miami.

We’re redoing Southside Park, José Martí Park and Simpson Park, and the Underline connects them all so it’s like one huge continuous park experience, and of you want food or shopping stroll on over to Park Avenue (SW2) or Brickell City Centre or the new River Walk retail and restaurants

Seems glassy and orderly to me, although the rear “bald spot” with that flesh-colored mural is concerning. Hopefully it’s removed when the neighboring properties are redeveloped for something wall to wall with it.
