An area called Collins Park hopes to regain some glory and become the cultural center of MIami Beach. Check out the interactive map with pictures. Here's there image of the new Ghery designed syphony hall that will be next to Lincoln Road.

Has there been any recent news about what will replace the Sheraton Bal Harbour after it is demolished next year? Supposedly another St. Regis, but I have not seen any more info. Here's an old article trumpeting its demise....from Hansenhomesaventura.com

Check out the website and renderings for the new project, Mansion on the Beach, going up.

I suppose this is a radical renovation of the Wyndham Miami Beach, once known as the Doral-on-the-Ocean and later still as the Westin. It appears as though they won't be tearing the building down, but it sure doesn't look too much like this...

The existing wyndham will remain. This is being built next door, just to the north of the Wyndham. Its already UC and about 15 floors up.

^I didn't know it was facing opposition. Well I don't think Cirque and Related are on bad terms, they said it was amicable.

I was looking forward to the grand project they had planned, but oh well....

What was facing opposition was the fact they were asking for $50 million from the city. Other businesses weren't happy about having to pay taxes to support what would in effect be a competitor since the theater was going to have its own night clubs and restaurants. Now with them dropping the plans for the restaurants and clubs I'm sure the other businesses in the area (i.e nightclubs and restaurants) will be much happier to have it around.

The Flamingo goes condo.

The site of Miami Beach's first hotel and the largest Condo conversion in the United States is being handled by Fortune International Realty. Here's some interesting background...

South Beach started as farm land. In 1870, Henry and Charles Lum purchased 165 acres (668,000 m

Sheraton Bal Harbour Imploded 11.18.07

The Sheraton Bal Harbour was imploded yesterday morning for the new St. Regis Resort & Condominium development. It's sad to see another Marris Lapidus landmark erased from the scene, but most of Lapidus' work had already been removed in the course of countless renovations to the property. Still, there will be scant evidence that the Miami Modern (MiMo) style ever existed if more is not done to preserve the remaining examples.

I know they said the rich are still buying real estate but are they buying enough to sustain all these condos? I was in the grove last night and good God almighty all the condos built/being built as you start to move into downtown is staggering. With this housing market I am really interested to see what all this building is going to bring about.
