LVMH & Jungle Island? Talks Reportedly Underway, New Renderings Released

LVMH is said to be in talks with the owners of Jungle Island to partner on dining and entertainment at the resort, according to World Red Eye.

New renderings of the project have also been released.

In December, plans were submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board for an expansion of the complex, including a 12-story, 300 room resort hotel, and a 7-story parking garage with 965 spaces.

A rooftop venue with views of downtown Miami and Miami Beach is planned atop the new hotel building.

Miami Building Department records show that the 7-story parking garage entered into the construction permitting phase in January, with an estimated hard construction cost listed at over $50m.

Another construction permit is also in review since December, with plans for a surface parking lot at an estimated construction cost of $750,000.

Metrorail or Brightline. Nobody patronizing a LVMH will take a ride on the dinky beer can.

Are those photovoltaic panels atop the garage? I hope so. It’s a modest crime and a major waste that South Florida has so little solar. This would be among the larger arrays.

I guess that all those Miami pioneers have died off and Watson Island will now be exploited to it maximum capacity.

Just keep paving over Miami’s natural beauty so the beautiful people and urban music festivals have a “pretty” venue.

It should be taller, and not just half the height of a parking garage.

Build a major convention center hotel at Jungle Island with front-row views of downtown Miami. If Marriott isn’t moving with their downtown Miami convention center, this would be a great opportunity to bring in major conferences across various industries. Build this, then include a Metro Mover stop at Jungle island.

Even with a metromover station a convention center at jungle island would cause to much traffic. It needs to be in the urban core. Plus most convention centers sit empty a 1/3 of the year.

Hence why we need Metrorail, or a rebuilt Metromover with longer and more cars instead.

Sorry but a major convention center between Miami and Miami Beach along one of the few thoroughfares connecting the two… that would be an absolute complete nightmare

That should be built in Overtown, close to the airport and close to Worldcenter, Brickell, the Port, parks, Hotels, museums, etc
