The building at 19 West Flagler Street in downtown Miami is the historic Biscayne Building, a 14-story office tower constructed in 1925. Throughout its history, it has served multiple notable tenants and is now part of developer Moishe Mana's extensive revitalization project for the area.
Early history
Construction: The Biscayne Building was built in 1925, during Miami's land boom.
Original tenant: The tower was originally home to the Bank of Biscayne.
FBI offices: At one point in its history, the top three floors of the tower were leased by the FBI.
Long-term ownership: Records indicate that the building was owned by Biscayne Building Inc., managed by Dante Fiorini, since at least the early 1980s.
Recent history and current status
Moishe Mana acquisition: In August 2016, developer Moishe Mana purchased the Biscayne Building for $24.5 million. The acquisition was part of his larger strategy to buy up historic properties along Flagler Street.
Mana's vision: Mana has since acquired a "critical mass" of buildings in the downtown area, with plans to redevelop his portfolio into a mix of retail, office, and residential projects.
Ongoing investment: As a key property within Mana's assemblage, the Biscayne Building and the surrounding area are poised for significant redevelopment as part of a master plan to "return that past vibrancy to the urban core".

This building is a family owned and operated commercial office building located in the heart of downtown Miami. What distinguishes this office business from others is the pride and detail in which the business is run.
The building is a single asset property and receives our full attention every day unlike other properties of a larger portfolio. The management team is located on site, in Suite 310 on the property. The team at the Biscayne Building has an impeccable reputation for excellence. The average tenant occupancy exceeds 17+ year.
The building is the first historic landmark to achieve the coveted Energy Star in the Central Business District of Miami in 2008. They are very proactive in maintaining and making improvements to the building keeping a high standard of excellence with upgrades in common areas, improved restrooms that are ADA compliant on every floor, adding technology to the elevators, alarm systems, sprinkler systems, HVAC units as well as back systems in place to ensure you are never without air conditioning.

In September 2014, John Geiger was the Head of Expedition for the Victoria Strait Expedition that searched for Sir John Franklin's ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. One of the two ships was successfully found. It was announced on September 9 by the Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper.
John Grigsby Geiger is an American-born, Canadian author. He is best known for his book The Third Man Factor: Surviving the Impossible, which popularized the concept of the "Third Man", an incorporeal being that aids people under extreme duress. The book is the basis for National Geographic Channel's Explorer: The Angel Effect, in which Geiger appears. A book of the same name was published in 2013.
His four other books of non-fiction include the international bestseller Frozen In Time: The Fate of the Franklin Expedition. He was the editorial board editor for The Globe and Mail, a senior fellow at Massey College, and is currently the chief executive officer (former president) of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. Geiger was born in Ithaca, New York, grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, and studied history at the University of Alberta.

Kate's worn stilettos, Madonna's worn them, Marilyn and Brigitte both definitely wore them. Imelda could have drowned in the number of pairs she owned. Men love them, women adore them. And if they don't just now, they've simply not found the right pair yet.

CRITICAL ASSEMBLY
THE SECRETS OF LOS ALAMOS 1944:
INSTALLATION BY AMERICAN SCULPTOR JIM SANBORN
Civil Defense
CD V-777-2
Radiation Detection Kit
------------------------------
In Critical Assembly (1998-2003), Jim Sanborn has re-created the moment in 1945 when human beings first fashioned a practical device powered by nuclear fission. It was called the "gadget" We know it today as the Trinity bomb. When it exploded on July 16 in the New Mexico desert, it permanently changed the human condition.
The place Sanborn takes us to is Los Alamos, in the 1940s a secret town known to the outside world only by its mailing address, Post Office Box 1663, Santa Fe, New Mexico. The scene is a small building in an isolated canyon, far enough from other buildings to contain the radiation. On the tables are "criticality experiments," their purpose to determine how much plutonium 239 can be packed into a bomb for maximum yield without making the bomb unsafe to handle.
Electronic instruments, hardware, furniture, tools and materials used by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory during the 1940's and 1950's were acquired by the artist during a six year period from a variety of sources including Lab employees (some of whom had originally made or designed them) These employees had bought these objects many years later as surplus materials at public sales carried out by the Laboratory. Any materials the artist was unable to collect in Los Alamos he machined and fabricated himself.
Plutonium and highly enriched uranium are very unstable metals. If the scientists placed too much of either material in one place it would spontaneously fission or "go critical" causing a tremendous burst of radioactivity that would kill everyone in the immediate area. Conversely if too little material was used to make a bomb it would not detonate at all. This is not to say that sub-critical masses were non-hazardous, in fact they were extremely dangerous. At any given time several of the experimenters tables held a highly radioactive sub-critical mass and a hemispherical reflector (the tables were kept far enough away from each other to reduce the chance of a fission event). The sub-critical masses on the tables were so close to criticality that the reflective properties of the human hand could cause a dramatic rise in radioactivity and the scientists frequently played tunes on the ever present sound of the Geiger counters.
In the late 1940's the scientists at the Lab referred to these experiments as "tickling the tail of the dragon" and the table top work was done with very little personal radioactivity shielding. After 1950 these criticality experiments were done using robotic arms controlled from shielded rooms.
The "Physics Package" as it was called of the "Fat Man" bomb (the one dropped on Nagasaki Japan and tested earlier in Southern New Mexico) is depicted on two metal tables in this installation.
Evocative of both the brilliance of the collective human mind and the potentially devastating power of knowledge, this installation is about the allure of pure science and the ethical dilemmas scientific researchers have faced for decades.
