The site is located across the street from the MiamiCentral terminal and adjacent to Miami Worldcenter’s pedestrian-only, open-air shopping promenade. Miami Worldcenter is a 27-acre “city within a city” delivering in phases. It will feature residential, commercial and hospitality uses, as well as of 300,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space.
