Witkoff Group, the New York-based development powerhouse, is making steady strides toward transforming the former site of the Miami Arena. This prime real estate, nestled within the heart of the vibrant Miami Worldcenter, is preparing to welcome three towers spanning as many as 57 floors, marking a testament to the city’s evolving architectural landscape.
The developers of Miami Worldcenter have completed another 80,000 square feet of lifestyle-driven retail space. The stand-alone building, Block F-East, marks one of the final retail components of the 27-acre project to be delivered as active vertical development continues at the $4 billion mixed-use development in the heart of Downtown Miami. Featuring a modern design enclosed with floor-to-ceiling glass, Miami Worldcenter’s ‘Jewel Box’ is located at the confluence of the 7th Street Promenade and World Paseo open-air retail pedestrian streets, directly west of the development’s upcoming citizenM boutique hotel and north of the completed luxury apartment tower Bezel Miami.
A national dining and entertainment concept will be joining the already highly-anticipated roster of tenants slated to open at Miami Worldcenter, the $4 billion, 27-acre mixed-use development transforming the heart of Downtown Miami. The development’s ownership has signed an agreement with Live! Hospitality & Entertainment to bring its nationally acclaimed concept, Sports & Social, to the project. Located just steps away from Miami’s FTX Arena, Sports & Social’s Miami Worldcenter location will occupy approximately 20,000 square feet within the development’s glass-encased ‘Jewel Box’ retail building, designed by Nichols Architects, and will include an open-air third level and a rooftop restaurant overlooking the World Square public park and plaza.
YIMBY spotted a new rendering of another potential large scale mixed-use project for an undeveloped site in Miami Worldcenter, better recognized as MWC Block A in Park West, Downtown Miami. 2.2-acres of this city block is under the ownership of Miami-based developer and investment firm Abbhi Capital, led by founder and managing partner Sankesh Abbhi, which was assembled by the firm under the Sanaproperty8 LLC between 2020 and 2021 for a total of approximately $44 million. The developer is reportedly planning a mixed-use project with multi-family, office, retail and hotel components, currently in the pre-construction and entitlement phases. The property allows for up to 2 million square feet of development, which would be incorporated into the 27-acre Miami Worldcenter complex.
YIMBY recently went to check out views of construction from above Miami Worldcenter (MWC), a 27-acre world-class mixed-use development under construction in the Park West district of Downtown Miami. The $4 billion development, led and master planned by Miami Worldcenter Associates, a joint venture between master developers Art Falcone, Nitin Motwani and CIM Group, spans 10-blocks and includes immense residential, hotel, office and retail spaces across multiple buildings. The development stretches as far as Northeast 2nd Avenue on the east, Northwest 1st Avenue on the west, Northeast 11th Street on the north and Northeast 6th Street on the south.
