CLIENT NEWS: Groundwater Report Filed With DERM For Miami Arena Site, Where 2,346 Units Planned
August 25, 2023A Limited Groundwater Assessment has been submitted to DERM for the former Miami Arena site, where a massive redevelopment is planned.
The assessment supports the approval of drainage plans now in permitting for the project’s first phase, an engineer wrote.
A paving and grading plan shows that Phase 1 will include the easternmost tower, on the corner of North Miami Avenue and NW 8th Street. Phases 2 and 3 were not included in the schematics submitted in May.
In June, plans for three towers were submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board. The board voted 4-0 to recommend approval, with the following conditions:
- Reexamine the central driveway to make it more accommodating to pedestrians
- Explore improved pedestrian connectivity from the Metro mover station to N Miami Ave.
Three towers are proposed to rise 615 feet, 589 feet, and 577 feet, with the tallest at 54 stories.
The proposal includes:
- 2,346 dwelling units
- 30,535 square feet commercial
- 2,078 parking spaces
