The twin 83-story mixed-used towers proposed by Brightline parent Florida East Coast Industries (FECI) for the last remaining development site at MiamiCentral has been approved. According to the Miami Herald, Miami-Dade commissioners voted last week giving the project the green light. Addressed as 195 Northwest 2nd Street and 220 Northwest 2nd Avenue, both towers will rise 848-feet above the Government Center light rail station and yield a combined 2,007 residential units, 49,634 square feet of retail space and 2,136 parking spaces.
