Botero has offered $19.5 million for the developable, vacant land at 30 SE 8 St., 18 SE 8 St. and 830 SE 1 Ave., including the intended site of the Beacon of Brickell Tower, a project that never got off the ground.

The offer exceeds the value of mortgages on the properties, which are in foreclosure and owned by Chapter 7 bankrupt entities Brickell Village and Beacon Developer Partners, linked to developer Renzo Renzi and his brother Pasquale Renzi. [Miami Herald] Emily Schmall
