Inter Miami submitted an application to the city of Miami earlier this year for a Special Area Plan to rebuild the Melreese golf course into a massive mixed-use development next to Miami International Airport.
The club is controlled by David Beckham and Jorge Mas.
Plans were submitted in June of this year,
A lease for the land still needs to be agreed with the city. The proposal is also opposed by the Miami Dade Aviation Department which says it is concerned that it will negatively impact operations at nearby Miami International Airport, according to the Herald.
The lease must also address environmental remediation of the contaminated land, as well as replacing the park land lost to the development as required by city law.
According to the proposal submitted, Freedom Park will include:
- A stadium with 25,000 seats
- 400,000 square feet of office
- 750 hotel keys
- 600,000 square feet of commercial/retail
- Pedestrian bridge to Miami Intermodal Center
- 5,400 parking spaces
Arquitectonia is the architect.
