Riverside Wharf Submitted To UDRB For Review

Plans for an entertainment and hotel development at Riverside Wharf have been submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board.

Riverside Wharf is planned to include a Dream Hotel, entertainment, and food and beverage outlets on the property currently housing The Wharf.

According to the newly submitted plans, the new Riverside Wharf complex will include:

  • 174 hotel units (operated by Dream Hotels)
  • 91,733 square feet of commercial/retail

Zoning rules require 417 parking spaces to be built. The developers are asking for a 50% Transit Oriented Development area parking reduction, and a further reduction by sharing the commercial and hotel spaces, bringing it down to 192 parking spaces required. The spaces are to be provided offsite.

The property where Riverside Wharf is planned partly includes publicly owned land. Miami commissioners have scheduled a special election for August 23 to decide on whether the land can be leased to the developer in a revised deal (voters already approved a lease earlier under different terms), according to The Real Deal.

Cube3 is the architect, with MV Real Estate Holdings the developer.

The UDRB is scheduled to review the proposal on March 16.

The river is going to be lined with buildings that will contribute to its vibe.

The need to start taking care of the river upstream. I’ve seen people dumping all sorts of things to it. Just don’t take a dip in the river guys!

As a compromise, how about the developer adds some dog statues?

Put apartments there, not hotel rooms. Require the full zoning-mandated number of parking spaces.

Didn’t they do that a few weeks ago? When it was first revealed?

“revealed new details” is a lot different than a formal submission, which will be reviewed tomorrow, 3/16.

Hey Cube3, the 1950’s want their architecture back!

Hardly looks like 1950s architecture. It’s too curvy and that brown wall of crap on the west facade would never be contemplated when architecture with was still taught by principal. Still, I wouldn’t at all be surprised if the architect calls it an “iconic, 1950s MiMo-inspired game changer.”

Please, I can show you some furniture from the 1950’s and 60’s that’ll remind you of this design.

This Riverside Wharf is approximately 700 yards from the Government Center station. I thought that a new development should be closer to a station to benefit from Transit Oriented Development.

I have walked that route dozens of times. It is like an 8 minute walk.

I doubt you walk under the over passes here considering it’s a homeless camp

I walk there almost every day my dogs. And yes, there are a lot of homeless, but the area is safe and the riverwalk is beautiful

I’m bigger than the average bear, around NFL DE size, so I can walk there without fear of assault by a 130lb drugged out zombie. I could still be stabbed or shot, but that could happen in a suburban shopping mall too.
