This is what Little Haiti needs! Clean up the streets by doing things like this.
Let’s make most of Miami great again! (lol)
Not really, Design Place and this area is already the best maintained area of Little Haiti. This won’t necessarily clean anything.
you guys sound like nazi’s preparing to raid the jewish ghettos during the Kristallnacht.
Shouldn’t there be more black people in those renderings?
In the 5th rendering they used the same black guy 3 times!
that one black chick in the third rendering is super cute, so is her friend with the bangs.
Bangs is not my type.But those joggers…hawt!
Apostrophes are for making nouns possessive, not for making them plural.
At least it will somewhat help promote future plans.
just out of curiosity what is wrong with Little Haiti that needs cleaning up? Its a stable, blue collar community that suits the people who live there, and have lived there for decades, and provides an area of cultural refuge for one of the largest immigrant community of Miami. Just because it does not suit “your” particular proclivities does not mean it is without value.
Completely agree. However, they are not making any more land and so the construction boom will continue to expand. It started with Brickell and Downtown, it has now moved to Edgewater, Midtown, and Overtown. The next cycle will most definitely include Little Haiti, that is just the way things work. People who live there now will either leave by choice or be forced out because of rising property values, rent, etc.
… And let the gentrification begin!
The smart artists that bought in this area when they were priced out of Wynwood will now benefit from any improvement in the area and will be able to stay.
Completely out of scale with the neighborhood.
where the hell is any investment in transit….im all for development but the lack of action in dealing with this issue is mind numbing…is there not ONE leader in miami politics that can accomplish what is so very necessary to help the people who live and work here?
Face the reality, Miamians like their cars. Always have. You want extensive public transportation, move to NYC or Boston.
People wont like their cars so much when it takes a hour to move 3 miles. Your view is very short sighted.
Special Area Plans; so hot right now.
The best part of this design is the pedestrian bridge crossing the Bright Line tracks. The there is almost 1 mile of unobstructed track that separates Buena Vista/Little Haiti from Biscayne. I forecast more pedestrian accidents in this area when Brightline becomes service.
Allow *only* as a condition of building Coastal Link station at 54th Street.
beautiful design
Also, now we know why they decided to close Archbishop Curley Notredame!
I like the project , the balance of hight and open spaces ….. great design , I hope they can build it !!
Wonderful project for MiMo neighborhood.. incredible the amount of investment in Miami.
The tenants in this area used to throw rocks at us during practice in the ABCND field.
The UDRB Board heard the item on December 22nd, 2016. The Board did not pass it. Too many problems. Why didn’t the planners extend NE 3rd Avenue south? Why isn’t there a big public park? Why didn’t the planners acknowledge the problems with traffic? Why so much retail? Continued to January 2017. Expect dissent.
Yup, UDRB Board refused to pass this mess. The owners are overreaching. Too many units. Guaranteed gridlock for all the neighbors and for anyone going east-west on NE 54th Street and south-north on NE 2nd Avenue. Developer shows no interest in compatibility. In fact, the project, as proposed, would harm the adjacent neighborhoods.
Of course the item was continued. It needs more work. Building a new mini-City at that location will crush its neighbors. Who wants that? NY based speculators, that’s who.
Why is the same black girl in 3 different renders? She cute but is she a prostitute or something? If so I can’t wait for them to build this so I can pay for some fun.
