Swire work closing Metromover stop for year

Written by Scott Blake on August 13, 2014

Say goodbye to the Eighth Street Metromover station on Friday.

The commuter rail station will close until next summer to undergo $4.6 million in improvements as part of Swire Properties Inc.’s Brickell City Centre project.

The facility will be integrated into Swire’s giant mixed-use complex, featuring the addition of another level at the station that will have direct access to a hotel lobby at City Centre, county staffers familiar with the project told Miami Today Tuesday.

Miami-Dade County Transit, which operates the Metromover system, is coordinating the station project with Swire, but it is essentially a Swire job. The real estate development giant is paying for the project and hiring the contractors, county staffers said.

Used by nearly 1,200 passengers a day, the Eighth Street station is slated to begin undergoing reconstruction Saturday. The first phase of City Centre is directly west of the station.

During the work, Metromover trains will bypass the station, but will continue serving all other stops on the system’s Brickell Loop. While the station is closed, passengers can use two other nearby stops: the Fifth Street station to the north and the 10th Street Promenade station to the south.

The Eighth Street station project will upgrade access to the passenger platform from the ground with a new elevator, a new escalator, new stairs on the north side of the station, and a new third level that will lead to City Centre’s hotel.

Also, staffers said, the work will involve erecting new columns at the station, enlarging the station’s footprint, putting up a new canopy covering the third level, and making security improvements. When complete, the station will have a larger passenger capacity.

Officials did not have a specific date for the station’s reopening.

Saks has signed on as a retail tenant. Cool to see as most other downtown are losing department stores, Downtown Miami will be adding a Macy's, Bloomingdales and now a Saks in the next few years.

Saks Fifth Avenue will anchor Brickell City Centre

Saks Fifth Avenue will anchor Brickell City Centre, the $1.05 billion mixed-used development now underway in Miami.

BY INA PAIVA CORDLE
ICORDLE@MIAMIHERALD.COM

Saks Fifth Avenue will anchor Brickell City Centre — the first retailer to sign onto the massive, $1.05 billion mixed-use project, now under construction.

Saks’ 107,000 square-foot store, spread over three floors, will open in fall 2016. It will be the most centrally located of Saks’ stores in Miami-Dade. Owned since November 2013 by Hudson’s Bay Co., Saks’ other Miami-Dade locations are in Dadeland Mall and Bal Harbour Shops.

“It’s a milestone for us and it’s a true achievement on our part to secure such a fantastic, luxury brand as our first announced tenant,” said Stephen Owens, president of Swire Properties, which is developing Brickell City Centre along with Whitman Family Development, owners of Bal Harbour Shops. “Saks’ commitment to join us is a further confirmation of the luxury interest in Brickell and in urban Miami.”

When completed, high-end Brickell City Centre, in the heart of the Brickell financial district, will span 9.1 acres. It will have 565,000 square feet of shopping and entertainment, two residential towers, a 263-room hotel with 89 serviced apartments, a wellness center and office space.

The project, which will have an underground car park, runs along South Miami Avenue between Sixth and Eighth streets in Miami, in the midst of a burgeoning area full of condo towers, hotels, shops and restaurants that cater to both residents and tourists.

The development is one of two major new mixed-use projects under construction in Miami’s urban core, along with Miami Worldcenter, which will be anchored by Bloomingdales and Macy’s. At the same time, the Miami Design District is turning into a luxury shopping destination, and Aventura Mall and Bal Harbour Shops are expanding, as South Florida deepens its role as a shopping hub.

Owens said Brickell City Centre will be unlike suburban malls. Its retail component will have only have one luxury anchor — Saks, with restaurants, shops and entertainment venues serving as other major tenants, Owens said.

And as an urban, multiuse complex, Brickell City Centre will not be dependent on the automobile. A Metro Mover station will be an integral part of the shopping center, and customers can exit the Metro Mover and go right into the retail center, said Owens, likening it to other projects Swire Properties Limited has developed in Asia, as well as such shopping streets as Chicago’s Michigan Avenue.

Brickell City Centre has been under construction since 2013, and the first phase of construction is scheduled to begin completion at the end of 2015. A second phase of construction will begin in 2016.

Pics from QuantumX @ ssc. The East hotel is getting some nice height to it. The condo towers are over 20 floors up and the core of the office towers are rising along with the shell of the retail mall.

You can see the East Hotel angling up the West now. Means its getting pretty close to topping out. The 2 smaller office towers are topped out and only have roof ornamentation left to go.
