Big – Very Big – Massive Plans Slated for Downtown Miami
A big player in downtown Miami development has solidified plans to build a major convention center topped by a massive, 1800-room hotel — the largest in South Florida — on the site of the demolished Miami Arena and would take up several blocks in the Park West district west of Biscayne Boulevard downtown.
The Miami convention hotel (which would be managed by Marriott, though the company would not comment) would have substantial, resort-like amenities, including an expansive pool deck with views of the bay, the American Airlines Arena and the downtown skyline. The structure would rise 58 stories and boast an 80,000-square-foot outdoor event deck.
The convention center plan was given additional momentum by Florida East Coast’s plans to build a massive train station across the street for its planned All Aboard Florida rail service, which will connect downtown Miami to Orlando. The convention center and hotel would be linked directly to the train station and the Metrorail station through sky bridges.

Miami always has something going on, this should certainly help the real estate market and create some buzz. Miami has always been a world magnet and seems to have rebound. Thank's for the info.
