South Beach’s Upcoming Public Park

South Beach is about to get a little prettier, ladies and gentlemen. The Miami Beach City Commission gave the okay last week to a project that will pretty up the South Beach area. Using a trio of empty lots near what was once the South Shore Hospital, the area will be turned into a public park spanning three acres as well as a luxury condo and retail space. The project comes after more than ninety meetings and several months of ongoing negotiations.
In regards to the luxury tower, it will stand 519 feet tall and rise 44 stories into the Miami Beach skyline. The retail space will encompass well over 10,000 square feet. Both projects will be situated near West Avenue and Alton Road not far from the MacArthur Causeway entrance. The public park—besides beautifying the area—will also serve as a “sponge” of sorts to soak up floodwater.
The developer behind the public park and condo project will have a timeframe of two and a half years to complete the park’s first section and then a total of eight years to finish it. The park will feature elevated walkways plus water absorption components intended to assist Miami Beach with tackling climate change.
