Why does it take almost two years to approve the demolition of a 10-story building? 270 Park Avenue which was the tallest tower ever demolished in one of the densest areas in the world didn’t take that long.

Because people almost die in the first building demo.

With the surfside collapse, FL’s property insurance crisis, and the city/county bureaucracy issues, building things in Soflo have gotten more complicated than ever. It’s also not fair to compare us to the northeast/NYC as they’ve been building skyscrapers a century before Miami, and already have all their regulations and procedures established. Also, follow the money.

You know how most NYC’s skyscrapers were built, many over 100 years ago?

Because there’s not enough workers. Also, everything being built was planned years ago. Everything is on a schedule. Think of like a play. Someone writes a play dictating exactly what days everything will happen, whether that be pulling a permit, ordering aggregates, and so on. Every business and construction entity is owned or financed by one person. This “ play “ is extremely important because everyone is on the same schedule. If permits get delayed, that means there’s an outside enemy force trying to stop progress. Or maybe someone cancels the aggregate order, you see, it’s very easy to identify who’s behind these attacks, because everyone that wrote the play just sit back and watch and make sure everything goes smoothly, any deviation in the play and everyone works together to destroy the enemy forces.

Can somebody please explain why this is now in its tenth review? What are they proposing to use in the demolition? A stiletto heel and an icepick? Ridiculous. It’s this kind of bureaucratic red-tape BS that drives folks up a wall.

I don’t think it was up all to the City of Miami….maybe the city set some conditions and probably sent the original application with comments to the developer and then the developer sent it back to the city …

Like OBP, I’ll believe it when this plot is flattened.

If other states with bad weather 6 months out of the year moved at miamis pace they’d still be in the Stone Age. Chicago and NY would look like a suburb. Thank God they don’t have Latin work ethic and efficiency up north.

A giant portion of the building collapsed on the sidewalk when they were last doing demolition on this site. I agree I want as little time as possible for the appropriate professionals to do a thorough job, but to rush this through would be utterly ridiculous. Makes sense to be extra careful and cautious with this one.

Most importantly, to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen again but we’re not so lucky this time and someone is walking on that portion of sidewalk.

At a minimum, to just prove to the construction insurance world that work here it taken seriously, and prevent EVERY future vertical project in the area having their construction insurance go up (and further increase $/unit development costs), potentially pushing projects on the bubble away from feasibility.
