Miami Freedom Park Begins Construction- Set to Open in 2025

August 30, 2023

Miami Freedom Park development has officially started construction, with the groundbreaking ceremony scheduled to take place later this year. The Miami Freedom Park development will include the Inter Miami CF stadium, a 58-acre public park, and an entertainment zone spreading over 131 acres with a 25,000-seat soccer-specific stadium at 1802 Northwest 37th Avenue in Grapeland Heights, Miami.

A 58-acre public park, the largest new park in Miami, youth athletic fields, a full range of entertainment and commercial offerings, including office space, a hotel, shops, restaurants, and additional experiences and attractions are all included in the privately funded recreational project.

A construction crew is currently working on-site in preparation for vertical construction. Miami Freedom Park’s first phase will advance quickly during this multi-phase project. Both the rehabilitation proposal for the former Melreese Country Club and the lease for Miami Freedom Park have previously received approval from the City of Miami Commission and the general public.

In order to improve this iconic new destination for Miami, leasing and commercial partnership efforts are being made to entice best-in-class partners, tenants, and retailers, including existing and developing brands and companies.

At the beginning of the year, Inter Miami CF ownership hired Devon McCorkle, a seasoned megaproject and sports-anchored real estate investment and development veteran, to head the initiative as President of Miami Freedom Park. For Miami Freedom Park to reach this milestone and advance the project into the execution phase once it has finished the planning and approvals phase, Devon has further assembled a team of best-in-class design, engineering, project management, and construction firms.

Miami Freedom Park will bring further retail, hotel, and commercial phases through 2030 when the stadium is delivered in 2025, along with the initial retail and entertainment services.

Miami-based architecture firm Arquitectonica, international arena and stadium design company Manica, and industry-leading large-scale stadium project managers CAA Icon make up the renowned Miami Freedom Park team.
