Construction Update for Miami Riverbridge in Downtown Miami

Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Miami’s Gencom, under the HRM Owner, LLC, have unveiled an ambitious plan that promises to redefine downtown Miami's skyline. The proposal for the Miami Riverbridge development has been submitted to the City of Miami’s Urban Development Review Board, marking a significant step towards transforming a prime urban location.

The Miami Riverbridge project, designed by the renowned architectural firm Arquitectonica, is set to occupy the current site of the James L. Knight Center, the Miami Convention Center, the Miami Conference Center, and the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Located at 298, 300, 330, and 400 Southeast 2nd Avenue, this extensive development aims to create a cohesive mixed-use complex that spans approximately 4 acres along the north bank of the Miami River.

The proposed development features three interconnected towers with a shared podium, offering a blend of residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces:

• 1,342 Residential Units
• 264 Apartment-Hotel Units
• 615 Hotel Rooms
• Convention and Meeting Spaces
• 100,000 Square Feet of Commercial Space
• 1,101 Parking Spaces and Amenities

The towers' heights are noteworthy, with an 87-story supertall structure reaching 1,044 feet, a 62-story tower rising to 734 feet, and a 52-story tower standing at 636 feet.

A central element of the Miami Riverbridge project is the creation of a new public riverfront space. This includes a 50-foot setback along the Miami River to enhance the existing Riverwalk and improve connections with the Miami River Greenway. This design is aligned with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan’s Port of Miami River Sub-Element, which aims to promote mixed-use development, activate the waterfront, and contribute to the city’s economic growth.

Given the project's scale and complexity, Miami Riverbridge will be developed in phases. Importantly, no special approvals or waivers are being requested, as the project complies with Miami 21 zoning requirements. The developers are confident that Miami Riverbridge will significantly enhance downtown Miami, transforming an underutilized property into a vibrant mixed-use complex and regional hub.

The UDRB review for this proposal is scheduled for today. If approved, Miami Riverbridge will set a new standard for urban development in Miami, combining luxury living, commercial opportunities, and public amenities in a landmark waterfront location.
