New Arquitectonica Designed Hotel Coming to Brickell's El Eden Motel Site
More change is expected in Brickell as the owners of the lot currently occupied by the aging El Eden Motel, located at 115 Southwest Eighth Street, 726 Southwest First Court and 110 Southwest Seventh Street; are working on approvals for a new project. Tony Cho of Metro 1 Development and Robert Finvarb of Robert Finvarb Companies purchased the property last year (2016) for $18.4 million and aim to develop a mixed-use millenial-driven hotel with a retail component via a joint venture partnership. The proposed design will be designed by Arquitectonica, will rise 24-stories, cover 250,000 SF, cost about $90 million, and feature 263 keys. The project is currently in the approval process.
