The Golan Team (786-271-1235) who have sold many oceanfront condos in Sunny Isles Beach and have watched this magnificent oceanfront City rise from two story motels to soaring 50+ story condominium sky scrapers will now enjoy watching a new kind of construction.
The City of Sunny Isles Beach has agreed to move ahead on a five story 100,000 square foot aquatic center tied to the Miami Seaquarium.
"It's an outstanding project to have in our city, to be able to have that sort of national-type of attraction," said Mayor Norman S. Edelcup.
The location of the new Seaquarium will be across from the St Tropez on Sunny Isles Blvd West (163rd Collins crossroad). The center will be built and funded by Arthur Hertz, chairman and CEO of Wometco Enterprises Inc. and owner/operator of the Seaquarium on Virginia Key, and Eduardo Castiñeira, president and CEO of Axioma3Architects. The Wometco Aquatic Center is to include a garage, restaurants, shops, two banquet halls and three-story aquarium where stingrays may be petted. The garage is to handle 140 to 150 cars and banquet halls are to accommodate 1,000.

The public-private partnership would make the city landlord to Wometco, which would fund construction. Project cost was not discussed, Mr. Edelcup said, but he's "sure it's a significant number." Currently the site has a small shopping plaza, which the City owns. The City does not plan on renewing the leases of the current Tenants to make way for this project.
The project is just in the design phase. It is due to be completed in 2013. As construction progresses, we will keep you updated with photos and comments.

This project fits in perfectly with the City's comprehensive plan for that area as it is pedestrian-friendly, is an educational process, family-oriented, includes banquet halls and is unique in South Florida.
