Miami-Dade’s new civil courthouse tower has had its first glass installed, according to photos by Phillip Pessar.
The Miami-Dade Courthouse Tower is planned to rise to a height of 25 stories, or 474 feet above ground.
It is being built as part of a public-private partnership led by Australia’s Plenary. Operations will also be handled by the private company upon completion, in exchange for payments from the county.
A total of 46 finished courtrooms are being built (compared to 23 operating in the old courthouse across the street, which dates to the 1920s).
The new tower will also include a parking garage with 58 spaces, with one parking level built half below-grade.
