Miami and Miami Beach compete with new convention centers and hotels
Just a few days after two teams submitted their bids to renovate the Miami Beach convention center, neighboring Miami announced its vision for a new convention center and hotel of its own.
The two teams of developes in Miami Beach bid for the chance to renovate the 52-acre convention center district, adding a hotel and ballroom, green spaces, and housing.
The proposal by the South Beach ACE team, led by Tishman Hotels and Realty of New York, was designed by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, the firm led by Rem Koolhaas, the Miami Herald reported.
The proposal by Portman-CMC, led by Portman Holdings of Atlanta, was designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group. Ingels, a Danish architect, once worked for OMA.
OMA’s plan adds a hotel and ballroom on top of the convention center, plus underground parking under a sloping park at the north end.
Plazas, green spaces, and promenades would connect the convention center and a renovated Jackie Gleason Theater to mid-rise residential buildings, a new cultural center, and a small-scale retail building.
BIG’s plan also puts the hotel on top of the convention center, and adds a free-standing ballroom building to the west, a broad plaza shaded by overhanging building corners and greenery, and small residential buildings.
Just days later, the MDM Group and Florida-based architectural firm Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates revealed details of a new Miami Convention Center and hotel.
A cascading three-legged Marriott hotel with 58 stories and 1,800 guestrooms will sit atop the convention center.
There will be an 80,000-square-foot outdoor event deck, a 1,500-seat theater, and a pool deck offering bay and skyline views.
The convention center itself will have just 100,000 square feet of floor space, mostly ballrooms and meeting rooms.
