A preservation group will ask the city of Miami to designate The Miami Herald building, which new owners plan to demolish for a mega-casino resort, as a protected historic landmark.

A leading preservation group says it will submit an application to the city of Miami to have The Miami Herald’s bay-front building designated a protected landmark, setting the stage for intense debate over the structure’s architectural and historic value as well as the effect that saving it would have on a blueprint for a $3.8 billion casino resort on the site.
