Mandarin Oriental Miami Demolished

Crowds gathered to watch the iconic building vanish in seconds, marking the end of its 25-year presence on the Miami skyline.

The hotel had been a host to numerous celebrities and award-winning restaurants since its opening.

Developers Swire Properties announced that the groundbreaking for 'The Residences at Mandarin Oriental' will follow immediately.

The project is part of a broader trend of high-end redevelopment in Miami’s financial district as demand for luxury real estate continues to surge.
