Updated renderings and phased plans have been unveiled for Miami Riverbridge, a three-tower mixed-use development designed by Arquitectonica and developed by Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Miami’s Gencom set to redefine the 4-acre site at 400 Southeast 2nd Avenue along the Miami River. With a review by the Miami River Commission scheduled for March 4, this visionary project has captured the city’s imagination, signaling a major transformation for downtown Miami.

Knight Center dating back to 1982.
