Miami’s Riverwalk recently added a major new piece.
The newly built section is behind River Landing, the massive shopping, office and apartment complex that opened in the past few months.
The photo shows a healthy amount of shade trees planted on both sides of the riverwalk, in addition to palms.
A restaurant row is planned in front on the lower level of the development in front of the riverwalk. The developer has said that there is strong interest from tenants, and that lease announcements would come soon.
Sadly, the riverwalk doesn’t connect anywhere in either direction.
To the east, support columns for the 836 expressway are in the way of any riverwalk. FDOT is adding new piers to support the new double-deck highway it is building, but has promised that it won’t impede a potential new riverwalk there any further.
To the west are older buildings, also without a riverwalk.
