July 10th, 2023 - MIAMI BEACH, FL:
Bay to Bay Waterproofing has begun the below-grade waterproofing system for the new Andaz Miami Beach by Hyatt, formerly the historic art-deco Confidante Building. Bay to Bay will be using a Tremolo system for the below-grade waterproofing system, an essential and required element of south Florida buildings. Being a historic building of considerable notoriety along with the requirements of Miami-Date County, Bay to Bay's Certified Installation of Tremolo's TREMproof® Amphibia™ will be essential for the mending, coating and protection of the existing coastal concrete.
TREMproof® Amphibia™ waterproofing membrane is self-healing, self-sealing and self-repairing. It has three active layers - a watertight EPDM barrier, an active core with the ability to seal when penetrated and an active barrier which seals the overlap and helps resist lateral movement of water. Also, a non-woven fabric layer promotes the mechanical adhesion of the membrane to the concrete. TREMproof® Amphibia™ waterproofing membrane is designed for use over lagging on blindside walls, below-grade walls, pile caps, grade beams, under slab and buried forms such as elevator pits.
The new Andaz Miami Beach, opening in the fourth quarter of 2024, will go beyond the familiar to discover and define guests’ personal essence. Guests will immerse themselves in the spirit of the eclectic culture around them through a barrier-free redesigned lobby, two re-conceptualized pools and outdoor recreation experience, an exhilarating spa, inspiring guestrooms, suites and meeting spaces, and immersive dining experiences with the hotel’s new culinary provider, José Andrés Group.
With three towers overlooking the beach, the hotel will offer the first-of-its-kind ocean view check-in experience in Miami Beach, a reinvention of all culinary offerings and dynamic spaces including the restaurant outdoor terrace and a second level outdoor Andaz Lounge, which will be a beverage-led destination designed to become the veritable living room of the neighborhood, with a palpable energy that will invite guests and locals to gather, socialize and share ideas in a comfortable and informal setting. The property will offer 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event experience space from ballrooms with ocean views to a pool equipped with technology that converts the space to a hard surface for gathering and activations within minutes.
Set to stimulate guests’ curiosity through distinctively local tastes with a twist, José Andrés Group will expand its South Florida footprint bringing world-class dining to the heart of Miami Beach with the openings of three distinct dining experiences at Andaz Miami Beach: an inspired venue that will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner service, a craft cocktail bar celebrating classics, and innovative modern creations – a José Andrés Group signature concept reimagined for today’s Miami. All venues are slated to launch with the reopening of the reimagined resort.
