Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

It’s like a skyscraper that moves, man.
A PR flak in New York left a cryptic voicemail on Riptide’s machine late last week: Florence-based superstar architect David Fisher is planning a “major press conference” in Miami on Tuesday, she said, to announce plans for a project here.
The mysterious news is even more intriguing given the project Fisher’s been shilling in a few other major cities for the past year: an insane-looking rotating skyscraper. Each floor in the building would spin independently, creating a constantly changing shape on the skyline.
Fisher told the New York Times a couple weeks ago that he’s looking for a place in Manhattan to build a rotating tower. And he’s supposedly breaking ground for another one in Dubai in a few weeks.
Could Miami be next? Has Fisher heard about the little condo bust that’s left half-built towers packed with empty units up and down the bayfront?
We’ll get some answers tomorrow.
