A company tied to Chetrit Group earned the endorsement of the Miami River Commission for its proposed mixed-use project on the river near downtown Miami.

During Monday’s meeting, the commission recommended approval of CG Miami River’s development, which would include four 60-story towers with office and retail space and more than 1,600 residences. The company changed the name of the project from Miami Riverwalk to Miami River. The five-phase project would span from the Second Avenue Bridge to the northwest corner of Jose Marti Park.
