Portman CMC is competing with South Beach ACE for the job to redevelop 52 acres in Miami, including the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, city hall and a hotel, the Business Journal said. Each firm will present a master plan on June 5 at the City Commission meeting, after which the commission will choose a developer, according to the City of Miami’s website.
