The developer’s downtown Miami station will include 200,000 square feet of retail, 290,000 square feet of office space, 800 residential units, and a 95-story skyscraper – all on the 11-acre site. Last week, All Aboard revealed the first batch of office tenants for Two MiamiCentral, including Ernst & Young and flex-workspace provider Regus.
The developer hopes to complete the station and its components by mid-year 2017. MiamiCentral will be home to Brightline, the brand of high-speed trains that will run between downtown Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Orlando.
Swire Properties will also include a food hall when Brickell City Centre’s retail component opens. The three-story, 38,000-square-foot marketplace will offer Italian-style products, kiosks and cooking demonstrations.
