What is the biltmore shores sinkhole?

The Biltmore Shores sinkhole is a geological phenomenon located in the Biltmore Shores neighborhood of Coral Gables, Florida. It emerged in late 2020 and quickly became notable due to its size and the damage it caused to nearby properties. Sinkholes in this area are often attributed to the dissolution of limestone bedrock, exacerbated by heavy rainfall and urban development. The event raised concerns about groundwater management and infrastructure stability in the region.
