728 Ocean Drive

Scarface Building turned into CVS Pharmacy in this project! The famous chainsaw scene was filmed upstairs in the existing building. Although much of the structure was demolished to create a new two-story CVS Pharmacy, the 1953 Art Deco front façade was saved and reinforced to meet new building codes. Being on Ocean Drive, the building is in a Flood Hazard Area and where the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) passes through the property requiring additional requirement for frangible walls and breakaway slab.
