Miami Worldcenter officials announced last week that construction has started on a portion of the $4 billion mixed-use project’s high-street retail promenade and on one of two parking garages.
The new street-level retail will encompass 50,000 square feet, representing just 25% of the 200,000 square feet of retail already under construction at the Worldcenter. The public parking structure will have a total of 922 spaces.
The 27-acre Worldcenter development will feature a total of 300,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment venues, along with residential, commercial and hotel space and a rooftop amenity deck.
Construction has been ongoing for more than a year at the Worldcenter, and the project’s first tower opened in January — a 444-unit apartment building called Caoba.
Other projects moving forward at the Worldcenter are a 348-room CitizenM hotel, which is expected to break ground this year; a 1,700-room Marriott Marquis, which includes an expo centre.
