A ceremony to mark the occasion was held on June 15, with a a raffle, prizes, music and a luncheon for the entire project team.
The mixed-use project is being built in downtown Miami, and will have 1.4 million square feet.
Block 55 is planned to include:

- 120,000 square feet of Class A office space
- 180,000 square feet of retail space
All of the space in the building, including the retail, office, and residential, is now said to be spoken for.
The office space will house the national headquarters of a “major global company,” a press release said.
The retail space will be anchored by Target and will include a full-service Starbucks and CVS pharmacy inside. Other retailers will include Aldi Grocery, Ross Dress for Less, Burlington Department Store, and multiple apparel concepts and hard goods.
There will also be restaurants with outdoor seating on the first floor.
