Miami approves hotel near UM med school

The UMLSTP

Developer Wexford, which built the recently-opened University of Miami
Life Science and Technology Park in downtown Miami, has won approval
from the Miami-Dade County Commission to build a hotel near the
University of Miami’s medical school campus. The hotel would have 225
rooms and 18 stories, along with a 184,000-square-foot conference
center. The hotel was among the potential developments predicted last
year by Bill
Hunter, leasing manager for Wexford at the UMLSTP in the burgeoning
Health District. The commission has approved a $90 million bond for the
hotel project. [SFBJ]
