Construction Progress At MiamiCentral, Which Takes Up Five City Blocks (Photos)
Construction is continuing at MiamiCentral, which is set to transform downtown Miami when it opens later this year.
The massive project spans five city blocks, with retail, residential and office space above and around a new train terminal.
Below are photos of the development taken this week:

Big-time investment for city of Miami.. incredible project
Its going to spur more development in every direction.
Love the project. I literally see the progress every day when I walk out my front door.
Hate those v-arches. Gross. haha. It’s not to my aesthetic taste.
Do they still expect us to believe trains will be pulling in and out of here next month? I feel another delay announcement.
Some of the crossings south of 36th street look like there are still single track sections.
Yeah I noticed that too.
That intersection is about to be loads more fun.
They plan on running limited service between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach before the end of the year, if all goes well during the upcoming testing period.
better to be delay and make it right and safe!!!
I am fully inclined to agree with you. Would suspect that March or April 2018 are more reasonable targets.
And…. after 5 years they still have been unable to put down an extra 100 feet of concrete platform at the Miami Airport station so that Amtrak can start using that station.
Man I wish the convention center would’ve started construction at the same time as AAF.
0% chance they start running trains by the end of the year at this rate.
but does it connect to overtown station?
You mean Wilkie D Ferguson? No, it doesn’t appear that it does.
But I also think that would be/would’ve been a good idea.
I think he meant Historic Overtown Station.
What “historic” station?
Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre Station. The official name for the station
Okay… Well, does it connect?
Okay… Well, does it connect?
Overtown is a historic neighborhood
No, it doesn’t .
Looking good but it is still months away from being done. Can’t wait to see trains come and go. Bringing more tourists and reactivating this part of town.
It’s embarrassing how this connects to something like Government Center. A major renovation and expansion (east/west Metrorail line) were needed even before AAF was announced.
