The redevelopment site, currently branded as MetroCenter, is part of a larger 28-acre area which serves as the seat of the Miami-Dade County government. The county likened the vision for the project to Hudson Yards in New York City, Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco and Umeda Kita in Japan.
The site makes up a combination of excess land and underutilized parcels formed from 11 primary sites, the majority of which are already occupied and would need to be vacated or relocated for redevelopment.
