The company unveiled plans in 2011 for Resorts World Miami, shortly after acquiring the former Miami Herald site
The proposal included six LED-lit towers with a design inspired by a coral reef.
Four of the towers were to be hotels, with a total of 5,200 rooms. The remaining two towers would be residential, with 1,000 residences.
An eight-story podium was to sit above a three-story underground parking garage.
The podium was to have a two-story shopping mall with 250,000 square feet of luxury retail.
There would also have been more than 50 restaurants, lounges, bars and nightclubs, and 700,000 square feet of convention space including a 200,000 square foot column-free ballroom that would be the largest in the U.S.
Atop the podium would be a massive 3.6-acre lagoon, allowing one to swim from Biscayne Bay to Biscayne Boulevard. The lagoon would be equivalent in size to 12 Olympic-size swimming pools, and would have a sand beach.
A public baywalk was also planned.
