A total demolition permit application has been filed for the future One Bayfront Plaza site, a proposed 92-story supertall skyscraper designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox with ODP Architecture & Design as the architect of record at 100 South Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami. The filing, dated November 15, outlines plans for the demolition of 535,000 square feet at an estimated cost of $2.4 million. B2 Group is the contractor associated with the demolition, while Jerome Hollo from Florida East Coast Realty is the listed contact.

According to county records, interior demolition work on the existing building at the site, a 19-story structure constructed in 1958, began earlier this year. B2 Group oversees this project phase, which involves approximately 278,000 square feet of interior demolition for $400,000.

Florida East Coast Realty envisions the new One Bayfront Plaza as a “global landmark” poised to become the tallest building in Miami, with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) having approved a height of 1,049 feet above sea level. It should be noted that the renderings showcased were revealed in 2022 and might be outdated. The finality of this design, or its proximity to the final version, remains unclear, and the possibility of a redesign is considerable.

The ambitious project will encompass Class AAA office space, a luxury convention hotel, and high-end residences. Additionally, the development will feature a premium retail mall and parking garage across a two-block podium. The supertall development will boast over 3 million square feet of space.
Florida East Coast Realty, the developer behind Miami’s current tallest building, the 85-story Panorama Tower, completed in 2018, has a proven track record in delivering landmark skyscrapers. Last year, the developer sold the property at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive to Citadel for $363 million.

That is not the tower they have on their website, I wish it was. They are planning a horrible box with no features whatsoever!
They have changed the design several times already. I’m not holding my breath and moreover dreading to see an empty chain-link fenced lot for decades after demolition .
