florida — Heads up, masks on! It will be very dusty in Brickell this weekend.
End of an era...Mandarin Oriental on Brickell Key will be imploded on April 12. Overpriced condos going in? Bet on it.
An exclusion zone of about 800 ft from the structure will be implemented. Residents in that zone are advised to keep their windows closed. To minimize the spread of dust, several shipping containers will be stacked around the property. Dust cleanup will take 2-3 hours while debris removal will take 3-4 months via trucks over the Brickell Key bridge. The option of using barges was explored but environmental regulations wouldn’t allow it.CDI & BG Group will handle the implosion. Their portfolio includes the Deauville and the old hospital building on 600 Alton Road.After cleanup, The Residences at Mandarin Oriental will be constructed to open in 2030 as two towers consisting of hotel and condos
