Miami’s Building Department approved a total demolition permit for One Bayfront Plaza yesterday.
Contractors will now begin the process of demolishing the 19-story office building, which occupies a full city block in the heart of downtown Miami.
Demolition is estimated to take between 9 months and a year.
Interior demolition has already been underway since last year, and the building was covered with graffiti in December as part of a stunt during Miami Art Week.
The owner of the property is planning a landmark 1,049-foot supertall tower on the site, with offices, a convention hotel, residences, and a shopping mall.
