ALL ABOARD FLORIDA PLANNING ON BUILDING 1,120 FOOT TOWER IN MIAMI
The All Aboard Florida rail project is in full swing in certain cities these days. They are in the process of building the train stations in each city and the plans for Miami are extremely ambitious to say the least. They are planning on building the 8th highest building in the U.S., at 1,120 feet. This follows the recent announcement of two 93 story buildings that will be built in Miami. Aside from the enormous tower, the All Board Miami site is also huge, at more than 11 acres. It is expected to become a transportation hub that will also feature residential, office and retail uses. The site will span four city blocks. There is a stated budget of $150 million dollars to build it, but it is unknown if that number would include the construction of the tower. This site is far larger and more expensive than plans for the train stations in Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, which have budgets of $30 and $29 million dollars respectively. Can they pull this off in Miami? I think they can. Everything is coming together for South Florida now, and that always starts in Miami. They already have the world’s busiest port, which is being expanded. The expansion of the Panama Canal will further trade and traffic in the area which is becoming more international every day. There is so much growth and development happening now and in the pipeline that I cannot even imagine what it will look like in 10 years. South Florida is being transformed right before our eyes and it is breathtaking. Don’t forget that the development in South Florida flows from the South to the North, so more growth in Broward and Palm Beach counties is coming next. It is already happening to a much lesser degree but there is plenty more to come. Very exciting time to live in South Florida! As always thanks for reading and have a great day.
