I don't think people realized it was open yet. I drove through downtown this morning and it was nice not having to weave through trucks trying to get to the Port.

Ah, yes! I remember where the old apartment is. This is where they used to be. I remember old Hollywood Greyhound bus station, old Papa Johns, and also old gas station, as well. They all demolished it, too. Why I haven't visit South Florida for a long time. No Florida trip at this time.

PS. I remember Young Circle and also, I remember Publix, Walgreens, Subway and etc. This is where they used to be.

Revised Plans For Former INS Building At 79th & Biscayne:

Miami, FL (August 6, 2014) – Architecture and design firm ADD Inc has been retained by real estate developer Florida Fullview Immigration Building, LLC to undertake the adaptive reuse of one of Miami’s most iconic buildings, the former U.S. Immigration Naturalization Service (INS), located at 7880 Biscayne Boulevard. The new 722,000 square feet residential, mixed-use development named Triton Center will include 317 condo units, 135 key hotel rooms, a rooftop restaurant, 24,000 square feet of ground-level retail and 587 parking spaces.

^ I wouldn't call the former INS building as one of the most " Iconic buildings" in Miami though. In fact it's quite ugly with those horrible gold colored grates covering the sides of the building that can be seen from miles away. It's location is great though at the corner of Biscayne Blvd. & 79th. Street and only a mile away from Biscayne Bay.
Nice to see it is being re-developed though because that area is in serious need of renewal.

Tibor Hollo is planning to bring in several big cranes to help build the 822-foot Panorama Tower, where construction is already underway.

Crews will be installing a crane at the site will rise to a height of 1,047 feet (or 1,052 above mean sea level). A second 1,016 foot crane will provide high mast illumination, while a third 385-foot crane will also be installed at the site.

Panorama will become the tallest residential building on the East Coast south of New York.

Another nearby tower, the 548-foot 1010 Brickell condo tower, will also begin construction soon. A temporary construction crane there will reach a maximum height of 628 feet.

Ah, yes! I remmeber INS building is on Biscayne Blvd. I rode on Metrobus routes 3 & 16. I remember where it is. There is lots of immigrations who went to INS building. It's very old. It's time to renewal the entire building.

If its something about Tibor Hollo, its that he gets stuff done. He has a couple of large projects in the work. His Villa Magna project will bring many units.
