Amid construction boom, experts urge for monitoring of sinking South Florida towers
"In June of 2024, the 28-story Marenas condo hotel in Sunny Isles Beach installed sensors to monitor how the next-door construction of the St. Regis Residences could potentially affect their own building. At 750 feet, the two-tower St. Regis is set to be the tallest building in Sunny Isles, steadied by 200-feet-deep pilings. Soon after construction of the St. Regis foundation began earlier this year, the sensor at the Marenas picked up vibrations that caused concern among Marenas' board members."

In June 2024, the 28-story Marenas condo hotel in Sunny Isles Beach installed sensors to monitor how the next-door construction of the St. Regis Residences could potentially affect their own building. The St. Regis project will rise 750 feet in two towers and will be steadied by 200-feet-deep pilings. Foundation work on the St. Regis began earlier in the year. Shortly after that work started, a sensor at the Marenas registered vibrations that raised concern among the Marenas board. Those concerns led to a brief pause in construction while the vibrations and potential impacts were evaluated to protect resident safety and building integrity.
