Following a “groundbreaking block party” back in June, construction is underway at the apartment rental tower being developed Downtown by Property Markets Group between the Miami-Dade College Wolfson campus and Biscayne Boulevard. The site has been cleared and construction workers are driving foundation pilings now. When news of the building originally went public, a year ago (boy some of these buildings take a while to get going, don’t they?) PMG was planning on calling it ‘Vice,’ and now the are apparently not. The flyer for the launch thing just called it the ‘300 Biscayne Rental.’ The building will have small, pricy units with fancy finishes, meant for high flying, well paid young professional types who aren’t ready to buy yet. Or who like blowing their money.
