Demolition Permits Filed At Sentral Brickell Site

Demolition permits are now being processed to clear the Brickell site where Sentral is planned to be built.

The Sentral project will span six separate parcels, and a separate demolition permit has been submitted for each parcel.

The newly filed demolition permits are for the following addresses:

  • 130 SW 8 ST
  • 120 SW 8 ST
  • 106 SW 8 ST
  • 102 SW 8 ST
  • 826 SW 1 AVE
  • 101 SW 9 ST

Office, apartments, and parking are among the current uses on the properties that will be cleared.

The permitting is being done through Miami-Dade County rather than through the City of Miami. The developer has also chosen to go through planning approval with the county due to it being located in a rapid transit zoning area.

BG Group LLC is listed as the demolition contractor.

County records also show that a draft public benefits agreement has been prepared as part of the approval process for Sentral, with potential contributions by the developer towards the Underline and renovation of the Brickell Metrorail station.

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.

Stunning—six parcels in central Brickell being combined and redeveloped! Sentral Brickell will enhance the Underline and new development on 2nd Avenue, with its world class design.

Steps from the Brickell City Center and Mary Brickell Village, this also will boost RTZ pedestrian activity in Brickell and Miami ❤️ Great job Miami-Dade County!!

The mural covering the parking garage is atrocious. I can only hope another tower will rise on the same block so it can be removed as it will be concealed.

It’s probably a placeholder to show it will compliment the colorful abstract Brickell common development scheme. The wavy pattern is unique. I’d like to see the saturation popped up with more variations of color. I posted ideas down in the thread.

This is great news! Loving the progress of this project. This block has been blighted by these low-rise apartment buildings for too long. On to bigger and better things!

I commend Miami-Dade County for stepping in to combat blight in the large gaps outside the Miami CRA/DDA zones. These areas seem to have been left out of some zones by former legislatures from decades ago. They don’t fully reflect the present day neighborhoods. This is a good direction for the City of Miami!

Miami-Dade County?
It is the real estate developers who are doing the heavy lifting here.

Gov’t is in charge of the sub-par Metromover, sub-par parks, and the sidewalks that most here complain about.

It is the private sector that builds skyscrapers, redevelops junky old buildings, and builds on surface parking lots.

Not to mention suburban fast-food restaurants, strip malls, and motels. Service stations too, but I can’t see those going anytime soon, unfortunately.

The last motel was just knocked down for new development. There’s a BK drive through next to Brickell City Centre being replaced soon. It’s seems you don’t live here and throwing shade, but I hope you come around soon!

This is a high stakes/value area considering most people come through this main corridor, and it gives a first impression for Brickell. It’s one of the main gateways and near a bridge that will connect to new Grade A development along the river. There should be some type of mega-plan for this prime spot, maybe even include an above ground connecting pedestrian bridge for this high traffic intersection… can’t wait to see what iconic plans the developers propose here!

Stop with the community oversight. Its just another street, just another parcel, just another building. It is not a Gateway to anything.

It’s a gateway to Brickell. Hope it looks like one when it’s redeveloped.

Love that the design includes a rounded corner, a design standard for major promenades. Also the vertical scale is nice, with the open outdoor space in the middle. It ties in with contemporary Brickell aesthetic. This glassy quality design will be a beauty, and in a visible and highly traversed part of Brickell.

Love this project! Restaurants and retail in interior blocks may fit well. People love spots tucked away in vestibules. A rooftop lounge overlooking the Underline could be cool too.

No. There is a southern part of Brickell. It is a little different though since they don’t have the brickell station and aren’t zoned for mixed use and retail.

There is a West Brickell, its brickell west of 1st Ave. LOL Anon is always the one saying stuff like that. He wants to keep all the tall buildings in one place for no good reason.

No, this wasn’t me, but I agree with all the people telling YOU to stop. All the businesses and people here want YOU to stop saying “west brickell.” Help US stop the smear campaign coming from one competing person or group, using made up names to sound bigger than he is, probably in Brickell Key (aka Claughton Island, afraid of being left out). It’s a calculated smear campaign because this ONE person says it EVERY time anything is ever proposed here.

Come on.
People who have lived in downtown Miami for more than 10 years, architects, developers, planners, tax appraisers, and generally people who know what they are talking about, know that there is a West Brickell, South Brickell, and a Brickell.

No real trial or dispute is “sorted out by a trillion people” on this website, even if it is the same person with 5 accounts trying their best to rewrite history or change the facts to “their own truth”.

I’ve lived downtown for over 10 years, and in Brickell, as a resident to me it’s Brickell … simple … west, south, whatever are good for directions but not for describing the neighborhood, it’s not nearly big enough geographically to have multiple “neighborhoods.” There does seem to be some group with an agenda here to create “west brickell” don’t know why, but it’s weirdly obsessive on their part.

Anonymous

Agree this “weird obsession” is a part of a targeted agenda:

1) it is linked to two affordable housing units. One is being built by Related now, and the other is managed by a shell company in (WEST palm beach). They are the only buildings that say “west” and as we see with any private new building, no other new development uses west. All others use “Brickell” “Brickell Park” and “Brickell Station”, but mostly just “Brickell.”

2) It’s also linked to an old DDA legislation zone, and may have something to do with the fact that this area can’t collect extra tax revenue for downtown, just like the southern part of Brickell.

3) Also the term “West Brickell” appears on Commissioner Joe Carollos government site. It seems odd to me when nobody else uses this term here. A part of Brickell was carved out to serve his district in Coconut Grove and Little Havana, and maybe to keep development from spreading or ensure some type of influence. It doesn’t seem necessary to go to such lengths and obsession though…

These agenda-driven comments are using manipulation and intimidation to promote this bizarre campaign.

Thank you 🙏 According to AI, it’s “possible that people are using the term in a more negative or dismissive way, implying that the western part of Brickell is somehow inferior to the eastern part. This type of behavior is known as “trolling” and can be a form of online harassment.”

LOL, says who? If the neighborhood becomes dense and diverse enough it takes on its own name. Neighborhoods are broken down by character and scale. The scale of the buildings west of SW 1st Ave are shorter and different in their character than the ones east. I know you and the preservationists don’t want brickell to spread into Little Havana, but be real about it.

Ivan

We are dense, and we ARE Brickell. We are diverse and we contribute a lot. We took on the name Brickell. It’s already on dozens of buildings, businesses, and condos; and used by thousands of people. Quit trying to erase our history and contributions here.

That’s not true. Look at the gorgeous SENTRAL Brickell design going up here!

One Southside is one of the largest and most modern Brickell buildings going up in Brickell, and same with the Brickell River District cluster of four new high rises. All the new boutique condos have the same aesthetic as the rest of Brickell.

By your logic, Mary Brickell Village a low rise with Mediterranean architecture isn’t in Brickell, neither are all the condos on Bayside Drive and Brickell Key with a different aesthetic.

There is clearly ANOTHER motivation for your campaign, and it clearly is not coming from a good place. . .

Two different issues, in two different areas. One, Brickell owners east of I95 don’t want to be renamed this. Two, Little Havana preservationist west of I95 don’t want to be renamed this either. We all agree we don’t like this new name.

LOL, says who what I want? “I know you and the preservations don’t want” … I haven’t given any of that a single thought, I’m just telling you that Brickell is Brickell, it’s not that hard, and you seem too invested in this conversation to be a neutral party, you must be the one who “wants” something.

Apologies if I got anything wrong. I’m confused by the different opinions and information and the trolling of others, and wanted to help sort it out. I guess this happens when an area experiences rapid growth.
