Kline Engineering to move a historic building in Florida!
A Mediterranean-inspired residential villa will be preserved as part of a new luxury development in Surfside, Florida. Seaway Villas, built in 1936, is the first beachfront apartment house in Surfside and was deemed a historically significant building in 2014 by Miami-Dade County.
The new luxury oceanfront site will include a mixed-use development with below-grade parking, a restaurant, hotel, and high-end condos.
The 3-story historic masonry building will be moved to a temporary staging area approximately 150 ft. south of its present location to allow foundations and basement construction to proceed. After new construction is brought up to grade, the historic Seaway building will be moved back to its final location – approximately 12 feet east of its present location.
Our team has been awarded a design/build contract with partner Structural BR to strengthen the building shell, move the building, and reconfigure the spaces to accommodate future lobby, restaurant, and amenity space.
We are proud to be part of this historic preservation project and to be teaming up with Structural BR on this design/build contract.
