What will they even DO with all that Sunset Place?

3 weeks ago 19

Like others I've read about the plans to flatten and redevelop the land at Sunset Place into mixed-use condos and eateries or whatever.

I was taking a walk around it recently and realized how huge the actual structure is. It has multiple anchors, wings, spans many square blocks. It has to be the biggest contiguous structure in South Miami and Pinecrest, right? So much concrete and metal and rebar, what are they going to do with it? It's like an entire landfill's worth of old building material.

Also, I was walking past the old CVS attached to the mall (which still looks like a 90s era CVS despite being closed at least 10 years) and I was thinking about all the bugs and asbestos and black mold that must have accumulated in all the empty retail spaces that have slowly been shuttering over that time. Can you imagine what the kitchens inside the old Lucky Strike and Johnny Rockets and Yumbrella/Marino's look like? There are probably entire new species of rodents there, rats mixed with iguanas and shit. This is going to be such a toxic mess to tear down.

(I live nearby so this has been on my mind lately, lol)
