The City of Miami is set to break ground this week on a new eight-story administration building within the Miami Freedom Park complex. The ceremony, scheduled for January 15 at 9:30 a.m. at 1802 NW 37th Avenue, will follow the State of the City Address delivered by Mayor Francis X. Suarez at the same location. The project will launch construction of the 382,592-square-foot facility, which will feature an attached parking garage with capacity for 889 vehicles. Completion is projected for late 2027.

Designed by Arquitectonica and developed by Adler Development, the project is part of the larger Miami Freedom Park master plan, which spans 130 acres and reimagines the former Melreese golf course. The building will feature an eye-catching design by Arquitectonica, fostering interaction between those inside the building, the public, and the adjacent 58-acre public park. Moss Construction has been appointed as the general contractor for the project. The site will also include a soccer stadium for Inter Miami CF and a variety of mixed-use developments.

Strategically positioned near Miami International Airport, the new administrative building will relocate the City of Miami’s operations from its current downtown location. Miami Freedom Park is envisioned as a hub for activity, innovation, and community engagement, combining government offices, green spaces, and vibrant lifestyle amenities to serve both residents and visitors. This development highlights Miami’s forward-thinking approach to urban planning and sets the stage for a new era of integrated city infrastructure.

It’s a shame that most city offices are being decentralized from downtown. No wonder 90% of retail in the city center is boarded up.
Shame on the decision makers
Those south-facing window-walls are going to get awfully hot. Stupid design.
