900 Biscayne Bay

Alleged Negligence Cause of Lawsuit against 900 Biscayne Builder

A relatively new addition to Downtown Miami’s Biscayne Wall, the $175,000,000 skyscraper at 900 Biscayne Bay is at the center of a lawsuit between the owner of the structure, 900 Biscayne LLC, and the company responsible for its construction, Pavarini Construction. The construction company is in hot water over allegations that it failed to repair significant construction defects, namely in the garage waterproofing and rooftop A/C units. By ignoring requests to fix the flaws, Pavarini is accused of breaching the construction contract put in force at the start of construction in 2005. Though the damages being sought by 900 Biscayne LLC are unspecified, the suit was filed in Florida State Court and includes a strongly worded accusation against the builder: “900 Biscayne has been damaged by the failure of Pavarini to correct all of the defects with the project in accordance with its obligations under the construction contract.” The suit goes beyond the sole claim of breach of contract, pushing for further damages due to the violation of building codes. Pavarini has offered no statement regarding the suit at this time. 900 Biscayne is the fourth tallest building in Florida and is the second tallest residential building in the state. The tower reaches a height of 650 feet and contains 63 floors of residential housing units. Initially designed to rise to 712 feet, and contain 65 floors, 900 Biscayne instead received a decorative spire on its rooftop. Condos and two-level townhouses and penthouses present in the tower range in price from about $500,000 to over $3,000,000.

100 Montaditos Introduces Authentic Spanish Cuisine to Downtown Miami’s Restaurant Scene

Lovingly referred to as the “dollar store” of fast-food franchises, 100 Montaditos first burst onto the South Florida scene in early 2011when the first of its kind opened in mid-town Miami. Bringing with it the Spanish-inspired recipes and selection that have made it a world-renowned eatery, 100 Montaditos serves up its signature Serrano ham on olive-oil soaked oven-fresh bread for just $1\. The franchise now hosts five locations in South Florida with the most recent addition coming in July to a 3,100-square-foot location at the Vizcayne condominiums in downtown Miami, near the American Airlines Arena. The addition of 100 Montaditos to Miami’s restaurant scene cannot be understated in the value it brings to Miami’s selection of hot, new restaurants. With the ambience of a modern pub, food offerings steeped in Spanish history, and a price point that easily compares to the best other fast-food joints have to offer, 100 Montaditos is well positioned to take the region by storm. The owner of the new location, Jesus Ornia spoke confidently when he said, “I fully believe that this concept, which has been successful in Spain, will also be successful in the U.S.” The star of the menu is the $1 baguette bread (imported from Spain) sandwiches that come in one of ten varieties such as Serrano ham, pulled bbq pork, smoked salmon, and chorizo. The sister sandwich montaditos (tortilla Espanola) is fifty cents more and comes with chipotle aioli, tuna with Caesar dressing, and grilled chicken with brava sauce. The selection continues to expand with more meats and cheese but no sandwich exceeds $2.50. Other 100 Montaditos locations in South Florida include The Shops at Midtown at 3252 NE 1st St in Miami, 1520 Washington Ave. in Miami Beach, 801 S. University Dr. in Plantation, 11007 Pines Blvd in Pembroke Pines, and at 230 Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. The company plans to continue expanding into the area hoping to have between 10 to 12 restaurants opened or under construction by the end of the year. _As a downtown Miami condo owner, will 100 Montaditos become your favorite neighborhood restaurant?
