Architect: Miami Freedom Park ‘A Vision For Future Of Urban Living’

The under-construction Miami Freedom Park is “a vision for the future of urban living,” according to master-planner Arquitectonica.

The company is overseeing the 130-acre development, which is being built on a former public golf course.

“The master plan integrates green spaces, vibrant public amenities, and cutting-edge design, creating a community hub that will serve Miami for generations to come,” Arquitectonica wrote.

It will include a a mix of civic, recreational, and commercial spaces, Arquitectonica said yesterday.

A stadium for Inter Miami CF that will anchor the development is under construction, and is already rising out of the ground.

Earlier this month, an 8-story 382,592-square-foot office building broke ground. It will serve as a City of Miami Administrative Building.

According to a utilities agreement recorded in August 2023, Miami Freedom park is planned to include:

  • 25,000 seat sporting facility
  • 360,000 square feet of full service restaurant
  • 240,000 square feet of retail
  • 750 hotel rooms
  • 400,000 square feet of office
  • public park with toilets, capacity for 500 persons

There will also be multiple parking garages.

I hope the 360,000 square feet of Full Service Restaurant is a Typo…36k is a stretch.
Urban? Hardly…Convenient with MIC, Airport, other amenities sure…Just some Arquitectonica BS – Enchufados with the local Gvmt etc…whatever makes them feel like they are making the city better.

“A vision for the future of urban living”? Where’s the transit?

where is the transit ? a few blocks from the stadium at the intermodal center

True transit would mean the Metrorail line continues south on Northwest 37th Avenue all the way to Douglas Road Station. But of course, MIC couldn’t even work something out with Amtrak.

The transit, which is real, but is clouded by a random chinese rendering company showing a not-real location believing the project is somewhere in Virginia with all those trees…. jajaja. Does anyone oversight these renderings?

this is the problem with people in Miami. The idea of transit is that you literally get dropped off directly in front of the building from rail. Its probably a less than 10 minute walk to the Miami Airport intermodal station that has metrorail and Trirail

Enjoy that walk when it’s 95 degrees outside with 90% humidity.

Not with false renderings…. so have another look unless you are a bot.

Most people understand that renderings are not photographs.
They are also not maps.
Just relax…if you are still having trouble understanding how this works, find a 10 year old and they can direct you to Google Earth.

Never above 95 with over 75% or 85 at night with 95% humidity. Never both peak numbers together 95 with 95% would be a world record and deadly.

^Just because you might be a 300 lb whale doesn’t mean that the rest of us are like you and thus terrified of walking 10 mins from a trai nstation. You can look up videos of Miami from the 1920s-50s and everyone is wearing suits, trenchcoats, + hats yet nobody is drenched in sweat or visibly uncomfortable.

what about when it’s 75-85 degrees, which is most of the time here?

You must be dreaming. You’re thinking temperatures from 4 am to 6:30 am. Most of the time it’s in the high 80s not taking into consideration heat index and humidity.

You must live in NJ and do a lot of guessing about life here—spoiler alert: It’s not Aruba of the Costa Rican rain forest. From Oct-May it’s usually 75-85 degrees max in the afternoon. That’s most of the year.

Nothing says “future” like some gloried 1970s office parks, moving city offices miles away from downtown, and a stadium used for less than a tenth of the year.

If anybody realizes that that golf course was built out of refuse from the burnt garbage of days, long gone Miami’s incinerators it is a public hazard as a toxic waste disposal.. when I was a child, I drove by it in my parents car and it was smoking from the burnt incinerator garbage, and nobody talks about it

ARQ couldn’t see a vision of the future if it him them in the face. Everything they produce looks the same.

Eduardo Pérez

Everything you know of ARQ may look the same to you.
If you have ever owned an Arquitectonica condo, or hired them to build a building, mixed use development, or plan a SAP, you would know that they are NOT all the same.

It takes a shallow study to come to that conclusion.

At the least the soccer stadium is relatively good looking. Marlins stadium is so ugly…
The parking garage on the west side is HUGGEEEE. Hopefully they do cover it with soccer fields. It will be the dominant feature. The city office building has a large amount of parking garage also. I’m curious about the canal connectivity to the intermodal center. How will they get over the canal and the main thoroughfare there??

“Future of urban living” coming from Arquitectonica of all people is rich, especially since their ex-co-founders are world-class urban planners who gave this city numerous urban living gems

Living at the end of an airport runway isn’t ideal. What a joke of a comment.
