Demolition Permit Revision Now In Process For Miami Station Site

A demolition permit to take down the rusty half-built Logik Tower is now in revision for the Miami Station property.

Logik was planned as a 30-story office building, with only five floors of shell built before construction stalled in 2008.

Earlier this year, the “shovel ready” site was sold to Chicago developer The John Buck Company, with construction permits moving through the approval process in recent months.

A demolition permit had been issued for the property in 2022, to make way for a new 42-story tower. It is now listed as expired.

On July 25, a revision request was filed with Miami’s Building Department for the demo permit, with the purpose to “underpin neighboring building for stabilization before demolition of existing structure,” according to a note added to the request.

The demolition revisions moved into review on August 16, and then to “corrections required” on August 23.

Miami Station is planned to rise 42 stories, and include 301 residential units, 244,000 square feet of office, and just over 7,000 square feet of retail.

Permits for site work, vertical construction, and tree replanting are also now in process with Miami’s Building Department.

Beautiful change for the area and love the filling in of all the empty old buildings/lots closer to I-95. Overtown winning!

Overtown is north of here! This is the new downtown gov center where the park and library are going! This is closer to Brickell.

You’re thinking of the MetroCenter development which is a bit further south

It’s on the border of Metro Center and Overtown, right above Brickell. Can’t wait to see this area flourish!

I was anticipating the downtown vs overtown debate but not the “this is basically Brickell” crowd to chime in lol.

Look at Baltimore, turning areas below highways into restored wetlands, imagine if the unused lots below our highways downtown were restored to wetlands with scenic look out points 🤩

What’s so funny about the neighborhood debates is that there’s a neighborhood called Downtown. Downtown usually designates the urban core. So for most everyone, me included, downtown is Edgewater to Brickell and everything in between. Not a separate neighborhood itself.

Edgewater is uptown and they’re no metro there, so you could even say it’s an outer borough from the Miami city core. Downtown to me feels more like a midtown, where you have time square and Madison square garden transient entertainment and train hubs.

Edgewater was platted later. It was one of Miami’s first suburbs. “Downtown” is everything north of the Miami River, south of the PortMiami FEC spur, east of Biscayne Bay, and west of the FEC main line. “Greater” downtown encompasses Brickell, Overtown between I-95 and the FEC, Park West, and the A&E District.

I knew Edgewater was a suburb outside of the core. That’s why there’s no metro mover.

You might have to review your concept of East and West.

I see I got a downvote already. How about an actual comment? I live in the downtown neighborhood so not knocking it. I just don’t get why there’s a neighborhood called downtown when others cities refer to downtown as an area of the city. If you live in the suburbs you would refer to the urban core as downtown and might go to certain neighborhoods in said downtown. What do people in the suburbs call it? The urban core 🤨

Because brickell wasnt an urban area and just a part of coconut grove and residential home area and downtown was the furthest south side of the urban core, but that all changed. I think brickell should be downtown (but the problem is that the name downtown has a bad brand because of what it turned into), and downtown should be midtown and midtown should be uptown.

Mixed used office, residential, and retail, right beside Brightline station. Why can’t every tower be this awesome?

Plenty of other towers with that mix and aren’t glorified boxes.

Has more glass than that ugly building going up by the river

These park west people sit around and jerk off to glass all day. All glass can look rather cold and office like, the river building is perfect ratio.

Which one? The weird mid-rise in between the river and I-95, or beautiful Chetrit development where glass hasn’t even been installed for the first building yet?
