World Trade Center of the Americas Approved For Downtown Miami

Brazilian developer Gilberto Bomeny and Regalia develper Louis Montello have teamed up and are moving ahead with the World Trade Center of the Americas at 340 Biscayne Blvd. after completing a sale and 99 year leaseback of the property and obtaining financing. They purchased the property which is currently the Holiday Inn Downtown in November 2015 for $65 million. 

The World Trade Center of the Americas will be a 77-story mixed-use development that will rise 969 ft. The FAA and city approved the height, which will continue to push Miami's skyline higher. The mixed-use project will include 1.4 million SF of space including 400 residential units, 100 hotel rooms, 250,000 SF office space and 516 parking spaces. The total sell-out is expected to exceed $1 billion. Ground breaking is expected to come around late 2018 with an expected completion of 2022.
