Brickell church land is set to become a high-rise. Goodbye to another open space | Opinion
Brickell residents are losing their battle to stop church land along Biscayne Bay from becoming a 75-story high-rise. Yes, they chose to live in Miami’s busiest corridor, where condo and business towers have created the city’s modern signature skyline. But the push for development over preservation risks hurting what makes Miami so attractive to so many people. The 619 Brickell By Nobu, a luxury condo building, is slated to rise behind First Miami Presbyterian Church at 609 Brickell Ave., now that one of the last hurdles to the project has been lifted. The city’s historic preservation board voted 6-1 on Nov. 3 to lift a historic designation from the church’s annexed school and parking lot, where the tower will be built.

The $240 million sale of the land to developers would certainly help a church that has had money issues, but it has rocked First Miami’s congregation
