Historic Church Adaptive Reuse at 1836 Biscayne
Summary
A long-vacant historic church gets a new lease on life as the anchor of a 42-story, 406-unit rental tower. The revised design saves more of the church facade than any earlier version and adds a public plaza on Biscayne. It now heads to the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board for final approval.
