Hello Nicholas, thank you for the insight. As for the subject of adaptive reuse, one project that will benefit from adaptive reuse is the city's old public safety building. Instead of a demolition and new construction, Mercedes-Benz of Coral Gables hired architectural firm Perkins + Will to re-purpose [or re-adapt] the 1973 Brutalist-style building as the dealership's new showroom and corporate office. An outcome celebrated by preservation advocates who tirelessly championed to save the iconic building.
Thank you for the wonderful comment Karelia! You are absolutely right, the former public safety building is a prime example of adaptive reuse. Thank you for watching this episode!
I agree with Peter, you go to the state with scheduled meetings. It’s not like small town Coral Gables open office hours.
Name the legislators. Why won’t anyone name the legislators who said “don’t bother”? I have asked this directly and no one will answer the question.
Why was gondola building, a building no one sees or uses viewed as state responsibility and funded but not City Hall? The logic doesn’t work.
I’m glad that Peter had the opportunity to explain he wasn’t obsessed with the “Mobility Hub” (what’s repeated in the wild) but he was just doing his job, as directed by Commission. I also learned today that he had intended to connect the trolleys to the “hub” - I don’t believe anyone in the transportation community was aware of the connection.
