met SQ - YouTube



Met Square, originally planned as a commercial component to the Metropolitan Miami condo towers on that tippy tip of downtown Miami where the Miami River hits the bay, died a quick death in the crash. Now, like every other zany plan to build big or go home, it's back, and it's even bigger. According to exMiami, the project, design by the firm of Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates, has been revived and supposedly will have a 1,700 seat theater beneath a 570 room hotel and, get this, a 41,000 square foot restaurant.

Looks pretty cool. Good to see commercial development returning to downtown Miami. Together with Citi Center, it will be impressive.

Good to hear they are putting up another highrise to fill in the gaps in the MET project but another hotel? How many hotels are within a few hundred feet anyways?

Not enough, really. For an urban core of a major city there's really not a tremendous amount of hotels... off the top of my head there's: the Holiday Inn Port of Miami, Hyatt, Intercontinental, River Park, Casa Moderna, JW Marriott Marquis, Epic, and then some very shady hotels like the Leamington and Miami Sun Hotel.

Even in Brickell there's not a tremendous amount of hotels... JW Marriott, Viceroy, Mandarin Oriental, Conrad, Hampton Inn, Four Seasons and I think that's it.

I guess actually Brickell could use more hotels is anything!

This is someone good news but I feel that area didn't need another tower; most views are obstructed there already. And the more people in that loop area on the river the traffic will get worst especially if brickell bridge is up ( why there isn't a tunnel there ill never understand) They should be redeveloping further north of the area where there is more space

More bubbleheaded projects from free Fed money. What an ugly waste of resources. Too bad it will be mostly vacant in a few years.

Good point. Instead we're building a tunnel, for trucks only, out to the Port...go figure.
