"Something is coming to Miami that will help shape its
future," is the motto used to promote the Convention Center in the Miami
World Center.
A big player in downtown Miami development has solidified plans
to build a major, privately financed convention center topped by a massive,
1,800-room hotel — the largest in South Florida — on the site of the demolished
Miami Arena.
MDM Group confirmed Thursday it has a contract to purchase the
old arena site from the developers of the larger Miami World Center, a long-planned
mixed-use project that would take up several blocks in the Park West district
west of Biscayne Boulevard downtown. Terms were not disclosed.
MDM and its architects also released a rendering and a video,
posted on You Tube, of a swooping, cascading, three-legged Marriott hotel tower
rising over a huge podium containing the 500,000-square-foot convention center,
a 1,500-seat theater, and a 2,300-car garage partly buried under ground.
