Centro Condo High-Rise Project Reaches Key Milestone

MIAMI—Centro, the first residential condominium construction project in Miami since 2008, hit a critical milestone with its recent foundation pour. The process took 20 hours over two days at the project site for the 37-story loft-style condo tower at 151 SE 1st St.

A total of 68 trucks poured 1,360 yards of concrete over two days (April 26th and May 3rd). Centro developer Harvey Hernandez, chairman and managing partner of Newgard Development Group, says, “The foundation pour is a monumental milestone in Centro’s construction progress. In the past, people would come downtown to work and then leave immediately after dark. Today downtown is a dynamic neighborhood, close to cultural venues, offices and public transportation, offering endless amenities. It’s an exciting area where people want to live, and Centro residents will be in the center of it all.”
