Both were covered in a 1988 study of Downtown Miami historic resources, but were not NRHP-listed due to owner objections at the time.

The building remained vacant and abandoned and was the subject to graffiti and vandalism.

Sears was unable to sell the property and it donated the site to Dade County in 1992.

The tower was preserved and incorporated it into the new Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, built in 2006.
