INTRODUCTION
Overview

Conceptual Rendering
Artist rendering of project
looking north on 1st Avenue
The Miami World Center is a nine block mixed -use development immediately north of
the Central Business District in downtown Miami. It is defined by NE 2nd Avenue to the
east, North Miami Avenue to the west, NE llth Street to the north, and NE 6th Street
to the south.
Spanning over twenty five acres, the Miami World Center includes a dynamic mix of retail,
residential, office, and institutional uses. It will create a vibrant, walkable pedestrian
environment with a unique sense of place: a modem design statement driven by Miami's
unique physical context, culture, and architectural heritage.
The Miami World Center design standards will establish appropriate standards for the
design of streets, public spaces, and buildings within the SD-16.3 Special District area.
These design standards expand on the requirements identified in Section 627.1 and
shall be considered minimum requirements for all new development.

REGULATING PLAN
Overview
Intent
The Miami World Center project was guided by the goal of establishing a memorable,
pedestrian district with a strong integrated public realm. This includes an interconnected
system of well-defined streets, plazas, and pedestrian spaces tailored to Miami's
cli mate.
The regulating plan for Miami World Center defines the size and dimension of the public
realm within the site area. This includes building setback requirements, locations for
exposed parking garages, and the overall street dimensions for the project area.

and retail character.
Designated as the most prominent street at Miami World Center, it will include the
greatest streetwall height and street corridor width.
A major gateway street defined by the elevated Metromover train and intense residential
development along the east side of the street near Biscayne Boulevard.
A major north -south neighborhood gateway street providing linkages to the Central
Business District and the Omni Neighborhood.
Arcaded street with major connection to the Miami Dade College and the Central
Business District.
