Related Group and Arquitectonica are preparing to bid for Miami Dade College’s prime property on Biscayne Boulevard.
Arquitectonica chief Bernardo Fort-Brescia confirmed to the The Real Deal that the partnership was planning a bid for the 2.6-acre site at 520 Biscayne Boulevard.
They will compete with an enhanced Latin American Art Museum proposal from Gary Nader, Roberto Rocha, and architect Fernando Romero. A lawyer for Nader said that new partners may be added before the January deadline, in addition to other enhancements.
The nearby Pérez Art Museum was named for Related founder Jorge Pérez after he pledged to donate $20 million in cash and $20 million worth of Latin American art over ten years. Nader’s proposed museum would be similar in size to the Pérez museum.
