Miami Voters Approve Land Lease Extension For Riverside Wharf In The Miami River District
Last week, Miami voters overwhelmingly approved an amendment to extend the lease of city land for use in the future development of Riverside Wharf, a $185 million hospitality-driven entertainment complex planned for 114 Southwest North River Drive that promises to usher in a new era for the Miami River District. With approximately 60% of the vote in favor of the amendment, the victory marks another step forward in developing the project. Developed by MV Real Estate Holdings in conjunction with Driftwood Capital and Merrimac Ventures, the the 10-story, 200,000-square-foot project will be the defining development for Miami’s Downtown core as a city-within-a-city all-encompassing destination for unparalleled entertainment, exceptional dining and world renowned hotel accommodations. It will encompass a world-class 30,000-square-foot nightclub and rooftop dayclub, a high-energy 12,000-square-foot event hall and mezzanine, as well as the rebirth and expansion of The Wharf Miami, with 16,000 square feet of signature restaurants and a private marina capable of accommodating megayachts. Planning to break ground in the second quarter of 2023, it will also feature a 165-key Dream Miami luxury hotel.
