Downtown Miami Is an Emerging Hub for Cultural, Social, Financial, Commercial and Civic Activities for the Region Downtown Miami is an emerging hub for cultural, social, financial, commercial and civic activities for the region. And, given its geographic proximity to Latin America and the Caribbean, it is an international finance capital and a city of global significance. The momentum of growth and investment within the Downtown area has been stronger than in other parts of Miami-Dade County. There is a significant amount of development among a wide range of uses under construction or in the planning stages, and this development is not just focused on serving the immediate area. As a result, Downtown Miami is well positioned to be a primary hub and anchor for most of these projects. INFRASTRUCTURE Downtown Miami ranks among the top five places in the U.S. for walkability and is the hub for rapid transportation. Thousands of people beat daily traffic by utilizing the Metrorail and Metromover elevated transit systems. Downtown enjoys direct and quick access to the I-95 and I-395 highways with major connection to downtown freeways such as Biscayne Blvd., Flagler St. and Miami Ave. PortMiami is directly adjacent to Downtown Miami and Miami International Airport (MIA) is just 20 minutes away by car or rail. Capital improvement projects, including streetscape redesign, wayfinding signage, and bicycle and pedestrian enhancements, continue to make Downtown even easier and safer to navigate. • Airport & Seaport o Miami International Airport: In addition to being the nation’s second largest airport for international passenger travel, MIA is the number one airport in the U.S. for international freight – and the only U.S. airport in the top 10 globally. o PortMiami: Due to its strategic location, PortMiami lists among its Top 10 trading partners countries from Asia, Europe, South and Central America, and the Caribbean. The City of Miami, Miami-Dade County, and the State of Florida invested heavily to prepare PortMiami for the opening of the expanded Panama Canal, making it the only major logistics hub south of Virginia with this capacity. • Telecommunications/Data Connectivity o Network Access Point (NAP) of the Americas: The Equinix NAP of the Americas® is a Tier IV data center designed to interconnect the U.S. and the Americas with the rest of the world. The NAP of the Americas makes Downtown Miami one of the world’s top five best interconnected cities in the world -ahead of San Francisco, Chicago and Washington, D.C. – and is the only facility in the U.S. where optical, Ethernet, voice and internet traffic are exchanged at one location. • Rail Access o Brightline (Soon to be US Virgin Trains): Launched in 2018, Brightline is an express passenger rail service connecting the downtown cities of Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm. Within the next five years, it will also connect to Orlando and Tampa. o Tri-Rail: This is a commuter rail service connecting Florida’s three southeast communities of: Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. By December 2019, it is expected to connect to the new MiamiCentral Station in Downtown Miami. o Metrorail: This is a 25-mile rail that provides service to Miami International Airport and runs from Kendall through South Miami; Coral Gables; and Downtown Miami; to the Civic Center/Jackson Memorial Hospital area; and to Brownsville; Liberty City, Hialeah, and Medley in northwest Miami-Dade. It also connects to transfer stations for Brightline, Tri-Rail, the Metromover, among other mass transit options. o Metromover: This is a free and fully-automated, electrically powered transportation system that operates seven days a week in the downtown area with major destinations including: the American Airlines Arena, Bayside Marketplace, Miami-Dade College, the Miami-Dade County School Board, and Government Center. It also connects to Metrobus at various locations throughout Downtown.

Once complete, the Miami Baywalk & Riverwalk will be a 10-mile connected urban trail & waterfront promenade and safe transportation alternative for cyclists and pedestrians in the urban core https://miamibaywalk.herokuapp.com/page/about Flagler Street The City of Miami and Miami-Dade County are investing $16mm to upgrade Downtown’s historic Flagler Street with wider sidewalks and outdoor dining spaces, prompting the creation of Flagler District. Also, Moishe Mana, a New York based entrepreneur with extensive investments in Wynwood, has spent $300mm + for 39 office and retail properties on Flagler Street in the last few years. His team is working on a 5-10-year timeline for developing the Flagler District Downtown. http://flaglerstreetmiami.com/history I-395 Improvements The project will completely reconstruct the existing interstate and create a signature bridge that will span 1,025 feet over NE 2 Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard redefining the Miami skyline with its six sweeping arches. The project will add additional capacity to I-395 with a total of three through lanes in each direction and provide connector ramps for traffic to and from I-95. http://www.fdotmiamidade.com/i395designproject State Road (SR) 836 Improvements This project is a continuation of Miami Dade Exchange’s work program to modernize the SR 836 corridor. The improvements on SR 836 include the double-decking of SR 836, allowing drivers to bypass the I-95 Interchange and touch down at I-395 east of I- 95. The double-decked section will have two lanes in each direction and will allow drivers continuing east to Watson Island, PortMiami and Miami Beach to entirely bypass the Midtown interchange and its ramps. In addition, the existing eastbound SR 836 ramp to northbound I-95 will be widened to include an additional lane greatly reducing the congestion that drivers currently experience. http://www.fdotmiamidade.com/i395designproject I-95 Concrete Replacement Project The project will include the replacement of the concrete pavement for both the northbound and southbound travel lanes. An auxiliary lane will be added along northbound I-95 from north of NW 17 Street to NW 29 Street to receive the additional traffic from the eastbound SR 836 ramp to northbound I-95 and enhance the flow of traffic through the Midtown Interchange. http://www.fdotmiamidade.com/i395designproject UPCOMING DEVELOPMENTS/INVESTMENTS: MAJOR REAL ESTATE PROJECTS Nexus Riverside Lancelot Miami River LLC, an affiliate of Adler Development is developing a 1.59 acre site located at 230 SW 3rd Street, directly adjacent to the Miami River. The plan calls for the development of four towers; City office 280,000 square feet, multi-family 325 rental units, and two additional residential towers with approximately 1.2 million of combined square footage. https://adlergroup.com/adler-development/ Brickell City Centre (Phase 2) Brickell City Centre is a mixed-use development in downtown Miami from Swire Properties Inc. Swire has filed plans with the City of Miami for an extension of its existing special area plan that would include an additional two residential condo towers, which would be connected to each other and connected to the existing three-block complex by new skybridges. The expansion plan will be built in two phases. The 588- unit, mixed use tower is estimating a start date for construction in the first half of 2020 and will include a three-level retail base with 87,000 square feet of enclosed retail space. The second condo tower will be developed later and will likely be a boutique residential tower. https://www.swireproperties.com/en/portfolio/current-developments/brickell-city- centre.aspx Miami Worldcenter Miami World Center is a mixed-use project covering 17mm square feet of commercial development. The 27-acre complex features Paramount Miami condominium; Caoba, a 444-unit apartment tower that is now leasing and open; CitizenM hotel, a 348-room hotel offering an affordable luxury experience; and Luma, a 434-unit rental tower.

  • Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County : Tequesta
    Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County By ADAM G. ADAMS The great land boom in Florida was centered in 1925. Since that time much has been written about the more colorful participants in developments leading to the climax. John S. Collins, the Lummus brothers and Carl Fisher at Miami Beach and George E. Merrick at Coral Gables, have had much well deserved attention. Many others whose names were household words before and during the boom are now all but forgotten. This is an effort, necessarily limited, to give a brief description of the times and to recall the names of a few of those less prominent, withal important develop- ers of Dade County. It seems strange now that South Florida was so long in being discovered. The great migration westward which went on for most of the 19th Century in the United States had done little to change the Southeast. The cities along the coast, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Mobile and New Orleans were very old communities. They had been settled for a hundred years or more. These old communities were still struggling to overcome the domination of an economy controlled by the North. By the turn of the century Progressives were beginning to be heard, those who were rebelling against the alleged strangle hold the Corporations had on the People. This struggle was vehement in Florida, including Dade County. Florida had almost been forgotten since the Seminole Wars. There were no roads penetrating the 350 miles to Miami. All traffic was through Jacksonville, by rail or water. There resided the big merchants, the promi- nent lawyers and the ruling politicians.

  • Portmiami Cruise Terminal Miami, Florida
    CASE STUDY PortMiami Cruise Terminal Miami, Florida HISTORY In the early 1900s, a powerful hurricane hit the southern end of Florida, creating what is now called Government Cut, by splitting the southernmost tip of Miami Beach. This cut was dredged, along with a new channel, to Bicentennial Park in the heart of downtown Miami. The new access to the mainland created the Main Channel, and shipping access to the new port was greatly improved. The remains from the dredging were used to create three new islands, Dodge, Lummus, and Sam’s Islands. In 1960, the County and City commissioners of Miami-Dade approved the construction of the new PortMiami. This new port would be built on Dodge Island, which was to be connected to both Lummus and Sam’s Islands. Upon construction of the new seawalls, transit shed A, the administration building, and a new vehicle and railroad bridge, operations were transferred from the mainland port to the new PortMiami on the wholly man-made Dodge Island. PROBLEM PortMiami is recognized as the Cruise Capital of the World. It has retained its status as the number one cruise passenger port in the world for well over four decades, accommodating cruise vessels of many major cruise lines. In 2010, PortMiami handled more than 4.1 million cruise passengers. As the population of South Florida grew, so did the needs of PortMiami. The cruise industry supports one of the biggest economic generators for the region, tourism. PortMiami plans to remain number one by competing for the growing cruise industry. To accommodate for this growth, Unmatched Product Range Material Availability Manufacturing Capabilities Innovative Applications and Engineering Expertise CASE STUDY PortMiami Cruise Terminal the port must begin to invest in a new, larger Global and their supplier, Nucor Skyline, to PROJECT PARTNERS terminal complex.
