Miami World Center
Miami Worldcenter is a large mixed-use development under construction led by principals Arthur Falcone and Nitin Motwani, spanning several blocks in the Park West neighborhood of Miami, Florida, just north of downtown. It may include over 25 acres of land, with a convention center, hotel space, residential, and street level retail and large anchor tenant spaces, such as Macy's and Bloomingdale's.

Design history

The hotel and convention center were planned to be part of the same 55-story building, known as the Marriott Marquis Miami Worldcenter, but this tower and exhibition space was cancelled. The hotel would have included 1,800 rooms over the approximately 600,000 square feet (55,742 m) convention center.

One proposed residential building known as the Miami Worldcenter Signature Tower may rise to the maximum 749 feet (228 m) above sea level permitted in that area. The tallest building so far is the 700-foot (210 m) Paramount Miami Worldcenter building.

The project will connect with the Brightline higher-speed rail system's MiamiCentral station, and is adjacent to the Overtown Metrorail station. Additionally, the Freedom Tower Metromover station located on the east side of the property was renovated in 2021 and 2022, similar to the redeveloped Eighth Street station at Brickell City Centre in Brickell.

Taubman announced that it will not be developing an enclosed regional mall as demand moved away from enclosed malls. Instead the plans were changed to reflect an open-air development better suited for Miami's sunny weather.

Skyscrapers

On 14 January 2019, the first development at Miami Worldcenter, the Caoba apartment tower, was opened. Paramount Miami Worldcenter opened in 2019.
