A 12-story oceanfront Miami building collapse. The Champlain Towers South Condo in Surfside Florida as constructed in 1981. The town of Surfside, which stretches from the Atlantic Ocean west to Biscayne Bay, is located on the same barrier island as Miami Beach, just south of the luxury Bal Harbour Shops.

This Surfside building which was constructed in 1981 on reclaimed wetlands, has been sinking at an alarming rate since the 1990s, according to a 2020 study conducted by Shimon Wdowinski, a professor in the Department of Earth and Environment at Florida International University.

The Champlain Towers South Condo at 8777 Collins Ave was 40 years old. The 12-story, 130-unit building, which was completed in 1981, was the first project to be built in the area after Miami-Dade County placed a moratorium on new developments during the 1970s, said Daniel Ciraldo, executive director of the Miami Design Preservation League.

Surfside struggled financially during the 1970s, Ciraldo said, and its water and sewer systems had degraded. The county required the town to upgrade its water and sewer systems before approving any projects.
