Statewide Interest: |
This project addresses the need to enhance and beautify public spaces by eliminating blighted conditions that perpetuate loitering, vagrancy, and other ill conditions that promulgate dis-investment. It will restore and preserve a landmark building that has been designated historic and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Presently, the building sits in disrepair and is in danger of deteriorating due to weathering and vandalism. The location of the building is on the fringe of the Central Business District of Downtown Miami that is experiencing a re-birth in this urban setting. |

Project Description: |
The City�s CRA seeks funding assistance to restore the architectural and structural integrity of the building for the purpose of adaptive re-use in providing an economic resource for the community. There is an immediate need to repair the roof to arrest active interior deterioration as a result of total roof failure. Roof construction will include replacement of failed roof decking and trusses, the installation of hurricane strapping, and re-roofing with clay tile. The second floor trusses that support the load bearing walls at and above the second floor have lost their structural integrity. They must be re-placed in order to strengthen the building above the second floor and ensure public safety. The scope includes the installation of impact-resistant windows, doors, concrete structural enhancements at windows, doors, and beams, stucco work and new exterior paint. |
