Study Reveals Sinking Luxury Skyscrapers in South Florida
Recent research has unveiled alarming findings about luxury high-rises dotting Southern Florida's coastline. A study conducted by the University of Miami has identified almost three dozen buildings,—including condos and hotels along the beach—sinking into the earth at a rate that defies expectations. Most of these structures are relatively new, some having been erected less than ten years ago, with certain buildings already experiencing a drop of nearly 3 inches over a mere few years. The significance of this discovery comes in the wake of the tragic 2021 collapse of a condo tower in Surfside, Florida, which claimed 98 lives.
