The worst part of my commute is being reminded of losing this park to development and construction nearly everyday. It’s only going to keep getting worse to pass this park between this new graffiti and the eventual construction starting. I’ll probably start changing my route to avoid it when it becomes unbearable to witness, similar to how I stopped walking by the baywalk because I can’t bear to see the trash anymore. Just all around sad stuff.😔 (P.S. Particularly for the benefit of graffiti artists: worth clarifying I’m not criticizing the graffiti or the act of it. It makes me sad that this used to be a beautiful, open green park that I used to be able to enter and now it’s locked up and being used as a canvas. The graffiti itself definitely isn’t to blame for why the park is locked up. The greed in this city is to blame. If anything, the graffiti calls attention to the issue here and fully appreciate that).

This is what I saw today walking by the Club at Brickell Bay around 11am, which I can only guess equates to “check out time” for most of the illegal Airbnb businesses running out of this residential condo. It is incredibly obvious to everyone living in this neighborhood in Brickell Bay that this building is largely running as an illegal and unregulated hotel operation. I remember the day someone told me it actually wasn’t a hotel - I was shocked. The only people I see come in and out of this building either have suitcases or are very clearly tourists. The question is why has it seemed to not be so obvious to our government and why has action against this illegal operation been so slow? When criminal activity is not penalized, it continues to grow and spread because people understand they can get away with it. This is what we understand has been happening throughout our neighborhood as other potential illegal short-term rental operations continued to be identified. We need action against this now and we need regulation of short-term rentals to ensure we don’t have risks to life and safety.

Illegal, short-term rentals have spread like a virus throughout Brickell. While most in Miami know about an infamous building with this issue, further investigation has uncovered a growing network of illegal, short-term rentals spreading across our community. Regulating short-term rentals is not anti-capitalist - this has become an issue of public safety and infrastructure. There is a clear strain on community infrastructure that results from a constant revolving door from an onslaught of visitors (often with no background checks) in residential buildings not built to support commercial turnover as a hotel. Consequences are not just internal to the buildings (destruction of community property, noise and safety, etc) but also to our entire community. Large volumes of visitors brings a strain on public services like waste management and crime prevention. We have even seen cases where visitors using these illegal rentals have sadly lost their life due to negligent safety standards. It is important for residents and the community to feel safe in their homes. While condos may be able to take some efforts to prevent this (biometric access, increasing minimum rental period, front desk training, etc.) the issue is harder to mitigate when the board itself is profiting from this illegal activity, possibly not even living onsite, and creates a culture of fear and intimidation for residents opposing this criminal activity. Thank you to the @miamiherald and the @brickellhomeowners for being community partners in the battle to shine a light on this growing issue. We understand the city will be implementing a task force by end of year to help gain better control of mitigating this issue amidst state regulations pre-empting city limiting ability to enforce violations. Brickell has waited too long to tackle this issue and our neighborhood needs support critically to fight against bad actors looking only to profit from our neighborhood at the expense of our community’s best interests.

WHO SAID NEGRONI WAS OUT OF BUSINESS? WE’RE SHOWING UP!

Miami’s restaurant industry is no stranger to challenges. Between rising operating costs, seasonal slowdowns, and the realities of running a business in one of the country’s most competitive hospitality markets, keeping the doors open isn’t always easy.

And that’s exactly why community matters. ❤️

At the Greater Brickell Chamber of Commerce, we believe in supporting our local businesses, not just when they’re thriving, but especially when they need their community the most.

This Friday, we’re bringing the Brickell business community together at Negroni Brickell for an evening of connections, collaboration, and meaningful conversations.

Restaurants are more than places to eat. They’re employers, gathering places, and an essential part of what makes Miami’s neighborhoods vibrant.

When we support our local businesses, we support local jobs, families, and the economic future of our community.

💙 Let’s show up for the businesses that show up for Miami!

Come meet members of our Board of Directors, discover what’s ahead for the Chamber, learn about our growing committees, and find new ways to get involved.

🍸 Cocktails & appetizers included

While the Citadel construction is largely on pause for investigation after the rig collapse, now is a good time to reflect on the impact of this project on the tree canopy for Brickell Bay Dr and consider how to to mitigate loss for a neighborhood that has already seen significant tree canopy reduction from new construction on the street (per my last post). While we know the Jackson Cottage/Dade Heritage will inevitably leave the neighborhood, no matter where the building goes, the trees surrounding this building need to stay in Brickell Bay. This tiny house has one of the most significant tree canopies on the street, notably 4 large gumbo limbo trees that provide incredible shade and cooling. Our neighborhood wants to ensure those trees stay on our street. Additionally, there is a small line of trees bordering the Citadel site that we also want to ensure stay in the community. Not to be missed, there is one lone tree on the other side of the lot that has been a longtime staple in the community, surviving even the strongest storms. And funny enough, this single tree is always the go-to for construction workers to gather under to talk, have lunch, etc - probably because it’s the only shade on that block. Given that the Citadel site is under the Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ) managed by the county, it is unclear how community concerns will be accounted for since RTZ does not currently require public notification or a public input process for approved tree removals, meaning these trees can be removed with no notice to the community or regard for community concern, just like the palms around one of the Citadel parcels were cut down a couple weeks ago with no notice or input. We have emailed the county with our feedback and concerns regarding preserving tree canopy to the greatest extent possible, especially of the 4 gumbo limbo in front of the Jackson Cottage and we hope they will understand the community priority and concerns. With incredible flooding we have here in Brickell Bay Dr, we can’t afford to lose any more trees - in fact, we should be adding more trees, not less to this sensitive street.

Does new construction really replace the trees lost? If you ask Miami residents why they don’t believe this, it’s because of the reality and we have proof right on Brickell Bay Dr. Most new construction seems to destroy significant preexisting, shady tree canopy and final projects end up with little to no tree canopy - sometimes not even real grass. Just look at the Panorama, the newest building on our street finished in 2018. There are NO trees on the public walkway - just small bushes in a completely paved space. And whatever little grass exists is not real grass - it’s plastic astroturf! The only trees are small palms up on the pool deck. 🙃 It’s always incredibly hot to walk on this side, which is why I see a lot of neighbors cross directly to where the Yacht Club at Brickell is, which is older construction finished in 1998. There is significant tree canopy and shade surrounding this older building. Need convincing of the damage done? Take a look at the before and after (credit: @miami.dealmakers) - SO many trees existed and now we have 0 trees on this block. No wonder heat and flooding is out of control. Other new construction on our street like Brickell House also have noticeably little to no trees around their property and also use astroturf! What is particularly concerning is most older construction with existing tree canopy were all recently sold: the Yacht Club, 1001 Brickell Bay Dr office and and Jackson Cottage all will leave our street, along possibly with the significant tree canopies surrounding these properties. This kind of tree and soil loss exacerbates flooding in an already deeply flooded area and someone needs to be thinking about the big picture. We need our government to be pushing developers to relocate tree canopy that conflicts with construction and ensure they only add more trees to projects to support climate resiliency and quality of life - or we continue to elevate the risk of disastrous flooding, heat and the the reduction of our neighborhood’s value and desirability. Can we fix this by adding more shade trees to the public walkways and removing astroturf? Let’s start by telling the @panoramatower to consider adding some trees.
