The developers refer to it as the “city within a city.” It’s slated to provide retail, hospitality, and residential space in one unique location. It’s so spectacular and encompasses so much that they are calling it the Miami Worldcenter. After close to a decade of uncertainty, plans for this mixed-use urban development project are once again underway. The development project will cover almost thirty acres of land, and it will be within walking distance of the most desired urban amenities and entertainment options.
Specifically, Miami Worldcenter will stretch from Northeast Sixth Street up to Northeast Eleventh Street and straddle Northeast First Avenue. This area is just north of Downtown Miami, and it is mostly vacant lots and what many consider “urban blight.” This urban redevelopment project is expected to provide the transformation that this area so badly needs. Miami Worldcenter will have three public plazas and an array of ground-level only shops with entrances directly from the walkways, as well as concealed parking garages for guests, residents, and vendors. In addition to premier retail such as Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, there will be several residential towers, countless eateries, and a boutique hotel. It’s like a pedestrian’s dreamland.
The project actually sounds a bit like Brickell City Centre, with a unique twist and different location of course. Both projects will obviously add value to the surrounding areas and provide welcome amenities to the many residents of Downtown and Brickell condos. We’re pleased to see that the project is once again moving forward and can’t wait to see the finished product!
