Nearing completion along the Miami River in Brickell is the first phase of The River District (also known as Miami River), a 4-million-square-foot master-planned mixed-use development by New York-based Chetrit Group. This initial phase features a 54-story residential tower, located at 275 SW 6th Street and 501 W 3rd Avenue, designed by Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, which rises to 640 feet and encompasses nearly 1 million square feet, introducing 632 rental units alongside retail space and parking. This phase also includes two waterfront two-story commercial/retail buildings. The River District is ultimately planned to deliver approximately 1,961 residential units, 29,600 square feet of restaurant space, 12,020 square feet of retail, 40,000 square feet of office space, a 17-slip marina, and 2,000 parking spaces to a 6.2-acre site with four skyscrapers. The property is generally bordered by SW 5th Street and a parcel to its north, the Miami River to the north, SW 3rd Avenue to the west, SW 7th Street to the south, and SW 2nd Avenue to the east, with SW 6th Street running between the two primary parcels.
