Store Files Suit, Asks Judge to Halt Part of Adjacent Brickell City Centre Project Over Safety Concerns

Frame Art owner Alfredo Zayden says he has a box full of items he says have fallen into his walkway off one of the parking garages being constructed for the massive Brickell City Centre shopping, office, hotel, and condominium complex. He told a judge that chunks of concrete big enough to kill someone have fallen, and has sued developer Swire Properties Inc., Turner Construction Co. and the crane company building the $1 complex. The builders deny Zayden’s allegations in court documents, and say they are not threatening or endangering anyone or damaging Frame Art’s property. The developer chose not to speak on camera or send NBC 6 a statement Monday. Ron Weil, Frame Art’s attorney, spoke about their legal action. NBC 6’s Willard Shepard reports.
