No prices have been listed for the units, but comparable residences in the area sell for over $1 million. One design features vertically aligned balconies, while the other includes tiered balconies that are set back as the floors go up. The proposal actually includes two variations for the building, depending on the final setback variance allowed for the site. The luxury building would include a business center, event space and two pools. The proposed building, designed by London-based Zaha Hadid Architects, includes 57 units, ranging in size from 4,000 to 9,000 square feet (360 to 810 square meters). SEE ALSO: When will I-95 reopen?

Investigators with the National Institute of Standards and Technology gave an update on the collapse of the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside, Florida, during a regular meeting of the National Construction Safety Team Advisory Committee. SEE MORE: 2018 report pointed out 'major structural damage' at Miami condo before collapse MIAMI - The swimming pool deck of a beachfront South Florida condominium that collapsed two years ago, killing 98 people, failed to comply with the original building codes and standards, with many areas of severe strength deficiency, federal investigators said Thursday. What’s going on?” Aghayere said.In a structural field service report from 2018, engineers pointed out the evidence of flooding, cracking and corrosion in the building. “It doesn’t look like normal concrete to me. He said it is impossible to tell from just the images whether the concrete used in original construction was weaker than the designs called for, or whether the apparent weakness was due to damage over time. He added that instead of seeing aggregate material mixed into the concrete, “it’s just homogenous,” which is likely indication of saltwater damage. “The white color just stuns me,” Aghayere told the newspaper. The Dubai-based developer, which paid 120 million for the site, proposed constructing two connected 12-story buildings with a total of 57. Stone-like aggregates used to strengthen concrete during construction typically remain visible but they were not in the images from the collapse site. Damac International has revealed plans for a luxury condominium on the vacant site of the deadly condo collapse in Surfside, Fla., two years ago, tapping Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) to design the project. He said he was struck by how “powdery” and white the concrete in columns appeared in the newly released video. While it’s already congested with rebar, at the splice regions, it would have been “even further congested,” Aghayere told the Herald. The risk posed by “congested” vertical rebar in columns would have been even worse in spots where the rebar overlapped, which is known as “lap splice” regions, Abieyuwa Aghayere, a Drexel University engineering researcher who also reviewed the video, told the newspaper. “There is no reason there should be that kind of bar congestion,” Lehman said. I took this video while visiting unit 611 with a realtor during Summer 2020 at Champlain Tower South, Surfside, FL. The images show beams, walls and columns that appear to be overcrowded with steel reinforcement, which suggests potential weaknesses, she explained. “If there’s that amount of corrosion, this should have been fixed,” she said.

She said that amount of corrosion should have been obvious and documented as part of the 40-year inspection that was ongoing when the building in Surfside, Florida, collapsed June 24.
“The corrosion on the bottom of that column is astronomical,” Dawn Lehman, a professor of structural engineering at the University of Washington, told the Miami Herald.
