Full Demolition Plans Filed At Biscayne Boulevard Property Where 104-Story Tower Planned

Demolition plans were filed with Miami’s Building Department yesterday for a site where a 104-story tower is now in the approval process.

The plans for total demolition of existing buildings at 316 NE 2 Street and 141 NE 3 Ave were filed on August 16. The Yve Hotel, and a 12-story office building are to be demolished.

Review is now underway for those two permits.

A third total demolition permit has been applied for at 130 Biscayne Boulevard, but the full plans do not yet appear to have been filed, and review has not yet begun.

AlliedBean Demolition is listed as the contractor on all three permits.

Meanwhile the pre-application for a supertall tower on the site continues to work its way through approval with Miami-Dade County.

A pre-application meeting for the 104-story tower was scheduled on August 10, and comments from county departments were continuing through this week, records show.

Preliminary plans show the tower would include 1,074 residential units, 252 hotel keys, and 1,013 parking spaces. The gross square footage is listed at 2,294,293 square feet, with the net square footage at  1,498,802 square feet.

An affiliate of RFR is the developer.

Another wall like structure on the bay that will keep downtown development from growing to its full potential… I like seeing the supertalls along the river in the center of the city.

There are no supertalls along the river.

What? All the tallest buildings in Miami are along the river.

Literally none of the top 5 tallest are on the river. Better to walk around Miami as opposed to staring at Google Maps and trying to wing it with your posts.

I agree with you, especially since they block so many views behind them. But there are a lot new towers announced in downtown

It’s not worth it. And we haven’t seen the money out to good use yet. Keep it low along the bay, and build up inland.

The demand for tall towers is for along the bay, and those who can only afford inland will have their views blocked. They were getting a free ride looking out over someone else’s land for their views anyhow, and the free ride is ending.

No it’s not, the demand for towers is in and around Brickell.

The only reason your precious Brickell neighborhood exists is because of the Bay and the views. Get it through your skull.

Well, that’s not quite accurate. You know, Florida actually has quite a few places with amazing water views that don’t resemble Brickell. The whole vibe of Brickell comes from the professional crowd that lives and works there. And what’s interesting is that it’s got a bunch of metro stops and walkable spots that kinda give you that Manhattan feel. Plus, being at the tip of Miami, you get these awesome 360-degree views – picture the ocean down south and Coral Gables out west. Oh, and the Miami River adds to the whole waterfront charm, kind of like an extension. It’s like a cozy spot cut off by I-95 and those fancy mansions in Coconut Grove down south.

^^The Brickell vibe comes from the Bay. Well, at least the positive vibe it has. The trust find babies do give it its negative vibe.

There are no nearby coffee shops around the museum. The museum’s fees for residents are quite unreasonable, especially considering the additional $18 parking charge. It would be fair for parking to be free, and it’s worth considering making the museum free for residents one day a week. Extending the museum’s hours into the evening, when the weather is cooler and people are more likely to visit, would also be a positive change. It’s important for the museum to operate effectively, even allowing people to reach a live person over the phone for assistance.

Only if it builds nice supertalls inland in the center and not on the bay where only seagulls can see them.

Inland is crap, the money and demand is on the waterfront.

Anon

Not true, inland is more convenient and central and people desire that in an urban core. The highest demand is along the river because it’s both central and waterfront.

anonymous

Inland has views without the flooding, and the best amenities in the city. On the water super talls are dumb, congested and unsustainable!

The best amenity is the water, and freaking Sweetwater and Kendale Lakes flood so don’t give me that bull excuse.

If we wanted waterfront we would move to Fort Lauderdale or West Palm, we are in Miami for the smart urban planning that we witnessed in Brickell and want to see continue.

I hope the Miami skyline gets a spire. If so, it would automatically become “the icon” (lol) and the most photographed building in this city.

Could be the the new design for the SkyRise!!

It’s 1,040 feet, not 104 floors. The height of a building/10 to convert to the ‘storeys’ scale is outdated and only works with old low and misrise buildings with lower ceilings. Only a few exceptionally generic skyscrapers stick to 10′ total per floor, with Miami’s own Panorama Tower being the world’s tallest example with over 80 actual floors in an 820 ft building (the world’s only 250 meter building to have only 3 meters per floor). Most supertalls work out to 12 to 16 ft+ per floor, near 20 with spires.

80 to 90 is more realistic for this, and Waldorf which may now only be 60 or 70 with the 300 foot crane reduction.

The panorama tower roof which has a double height glass wall to block the chillers and stuff is probably equivalent to the 83rd panel of glass.

Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with the YVE Hotel. I see a lot of empty lots in other places where this could be built without having to demolish history. The area around the Freedom Tower has a few acres of wasteland where this building could make an impact.

If any building along Biscayne Boulevard should be demolished, it should be the Holiday Inn Express, especially before the Waldorf-Astoria is completed.
