"From 2016 to 2023, the buildings in the study sank anywhere between 0.8 inches and three inches. That doesn’t sound like a skyscraper-toppling amount, but here’s the catch: If a building sinks evenly, it’s not a huge problem. But if one part sinks faster than another (called “differential subsidence”), it can put stress on a building’s structure. Think about a table with one short leg — it wobbles, right? That’s what happens to buildings when the ground underneath them doesn’t sink evenly.
Miami isn’t built on solid rock like other cities. Instead, it sits on limestone, a soft, porous rock rife with holes and pockets. It’s basically a giant sponge. Atop the limestone are layers of sand, especially in places like Sunny Isles Beach...
That mix of soft rock and sand makes Miami’s ground more likely to sink under pressure. Add rising sea levels, increased construction, and tidal water movement, and you get the perfect recipe for ground settlement....
