Dozens of luxury condos, hotels in Miami sinking at ‘unexpected’ rates, new study reveals

Dozens of luxury beachfront condos and hotels in Surfside, Bal Harbour, Miami Beach and Sunny Isles are sinking into the ground at rates that were “unexpected,” with nearly 70 percent of the buildings in northern and central Sunny Isles affected, research by the University of Miami found.

The study, published Friday night, identified a total of 35 buildings that have sunk by as much as three inches between 2016 and 2023, including the iconic Surf Club Towers and Faena Hotel, the Porsche Design Tower, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Trump Tower III and Trump International Beach Resorts. Together, the high rises accommodate tens of thousands of residents and tourists. Some have more than 300 units, including penthouses that cost millions of dollars.

“Almost all the buildings at the coast itself, they’re subsiding,” Falk Amelung, a geophysicist at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science and the study’s senior author, told the Miami Herald. “It’s a lot.”

Preliminary data also shows signs that buildings in downtown Miami, Brickell, and along Broward and Palm Beach coasts are sinking, too. Globally, similar subsidence within such a large area has never been reported, the university said in a statement.

Heavy buildings sinking a few inches into their soils sounds exceedingly routine to me.

"Globally, similar subsidence within such a large area has never been reported"

Ya thats definitely not true.

Everyone was waiting for California to fall into the ocean. They should have been waiting for South Florida to turn into Atlantis.

I'm not worried. I've got a snorkel. :o)

Sure. But California actually has some value.

A ginormous sinkhole that swallows the entire South Florida area would be the next best thing to a sinkhole that swallows the entire state of Florida.

Preferably tonight.
