Full demolition permits have been issued by the City of Miami for the removal of a 20,000-square-foot (1,858-square-meter) structure located at 99 Southwest 7th Street, at the intersection with Southwest 1st Street and South Miami Avenue in Brickell. The property, which spans just over 70,000 square feet (6,503 square meters), sits on the southern riverbank of the Miami River with over 100 feet (30.4 meters) of water frontage and will soon undergo preparations for the development of LOFTY Brickell, a 44-story residential building designed by Arquitectonica with landscape architecture by Urban Robot Associates for Newgard Development Group (Newgard). The project is planned to comprise 364 fully-finished and furnished residences with curated interiors by INC and 40,000 square feet (12,192 square meters) of amenities, licensed for sharing and short-term rentals.

Permits were officially issued on April 28, 2022, signaling Newgard could begin deconstructing the former single-story commercial structure immediately. In October 2021, the TBRC Group LLC was listed as the company contracted to handle the work. It seems the contractor has changed, and the approved permits now list Miller & Myers Group LLC as the demolition company, which will cost the developer US$105,400 for this scope of work.
