Firehouse II, Miami 1926

The building is now owned by a community redevelopment agency (or a "CRA") called the Omni CRA. Ownership was transferred from the Miami. In late 2011, the Omni CRA launched a US$2M renovation in order to refurbish the building and use it as the CRA's main office. The nearby Omni Center was purchased in October 2011 by the Genting Group in an effort to establish a Las Vegas-style gambling operation. The vacant Fire Station No. 2 was constructed in 1926 by architect August C. Geiger, the tenth registered architect in the Florida. The Groundbreaking Ceremony for Firehouse # 2 will take place on Monday, December 19, 2011 at 10:00 am. It will be held on-site at 1401 N. Miami Ave in Miami, FL.
