Interior Demolition Permit Applied For At One Bayfront Plaza

An application for interior demolition at One Bayfront Plaza was submitted to Miami’s Building Department yesterday.

According to the February 15 filing, interior demolition of 278,000 square feet is planned.

The estimated cost of demolition is listed as $400,000.

B2 Group LLC is listed as the contractor, with a Berg Corporation contact email (Berg features a video of an implosion on its website).

AlliedBean Demolition and The Berg Corporation manage the LLC, according to Sunbiz.

Florida East Coast Realty, which has built some of Miami’s most prominent buildings over the decades, is planning a 1,049-foot supertall on the site that will become the city’s tallest.

I’ve been waiting a long time to watch this wretched building fall. Crucial step in making Downtown more beautiful.

One Bayfront will massively impact the new Biscayne Boulevard, which will feature a linear park, a revamped Bayside with high end dining, the Waldorf Astoria, public art, and the revamped Flagler Street!

What linear park are you talking about? Biscayne green was never approved

The Waldorf/PMG is moving forward with their Biscayne Green plans. The city has indicated they will capitalize on this momentum for their plan as well. It won’t happen overnight, but it will be done by the time the walfdorf is done.

For those who know how the world works, this is unnecessary, but for those of you just learning:
The developer is landscaping the parking spaces in front of the Sales Center in order to….sell more units.
Junky cars, contractors vans and work trucks parked in front of the Waldorf Astoria sales center doesn’t help move the units.

As soon as the condos are sold, the landscaping and the loss leading coffee shop/cafe will be moved out.

Flagler revamp is still under construction. It should be complete in about a year. Let’s see what happens then.

Revamped Flagler Street ? You’re not a local , or a merchant there are you ? That project in its first stage ( which needs to be redone already , drove longtime established places out of business. Same already as the new part that’s supposed to be done , but hasn’t opened to traffic yet. Someone will profit from this , certainly not the small business owners. It’s a total blighted zone now. No foot traffic whatsoever compared to what it was before they started tearing Flagler st again.

One Bayfront Plaza will be located in the city’s most prominent location. I hope the final design of the tower can match it.

City officials should ask the developers to help do something nice with that stupid fountain sitting empty and rusty on the east end of Flagler.

That’s fountain is the city’s fault. Why would a developer fix that fountain when the city obviously can’t maintain it

So when an entire building is being demo’d, there are separate interior and exterior demolition processes? What is the rationale behind that? (I am not saying it’s wrong, simply looking to learn).

Anon

Not typically, but it can be done this way. This would allow them to get started clearing out the interior while the total demo is approved.

Possibly hazardous interior materials need to be handled carefully and disposed of differently that the building structure? Just guessing. I’m no expert.

That’s most likely what’s going on. They need to do remediation work

Finally. This building has been as big an eyesore as the old DuPont Plaza. Let’s hope the supertall construction starts immediately once this derelict is razed.

The DuPont Plaza is not an eyesore.

DuPont plaza was a building where the epic and Aston Martin are not the historic DuPont building

You’re right ! Then to put up with the traffic of the narrowing streets , the self policing by granted to the developer , reality sucks.

I can’t believe that for all those decades we got screwed with the DuPont Plaza instead of having the Royal Palm or the Epic that came after it!

I love it! But the metro mover flyovers might ruin the aesthetics. I saw another comment on another post that mentioned it, and the more I think about it will ruin it. I’m an Architect and I think what makes walks down avenues like these so breathtaking is being able to look up and be surrounded by beautiful towers and wide sidewalks with trees, but the flyovers block a lot of the views from a human scale perspective. Not to mention the gigantic metro mover stations straight out of the 80s in the middle of the street!

Elevated metros are very, very, very common and actually add to the aesthetics of cities like New York, Paris, Tokyo, etc….

Personally, I think the 8-lane wide Biscayne with huge parking lots in the middle is more unattractive….

Tokyo, yes. Paris, it’s extremely rare. I lived there for 3 years and Paris is crazy when it comes aesthetics. Elevated transit is extremely limited and restricted. Not sure what you’re talking about.

Yes in NYC and Chicago their elevated train tracks are 60-year-old rusted steel so when I hear someone complain about “aesthetics” of a 35-year-old concrete platform I just gag inside a little. Some of these people that post on here have no understanding of what constitutes a necessity over feel and form.

Yeah not a huge fan either but I doubt the city would ever consider replacing the metro mover. Unless they really see the potential in Miami’s future.

They’re really more about short term gain so that’ll just be the next mayor/commissioners’ problem

I agree with you on that. The only saving grace is that the views from the Metromover, especially in that part of town, are miraculous!
There was an architect from Mumbai riding with me as I was touring him around the city, and he pointed out, “This is such a wonderful Metromover! The stations have fresh air, the views are spectacular, and you don’t have ride in darkness like in other cities.”
I had never thought of it that way in 2002, but I have ever since.
