It appears that foundation work is about to begin on All Aboard Florida’s MiamiCentral project.

A photo sent in by TNM reader Marc show that construction equipment is already on the site.

The first phase of the project was granted final approval last month, and includes a train terminal along with 178,000 square feet of retail space. A supermarket is part of the plans.

AAF is also finalizing plans for 700 MiamiCentral, which will be be built on the CRA’s Block 56 (details will be posted here next week.) The company will also soon submit plans for the second phase of the main MiamiCentral project.

On track: Details for downtown Miami railway hub are revealed





Quote:
Work has now begun on a new station at the same spot that will bring back passenger train service — this time between Miami and Orlando.

Though the overall plan for the rail and business complex was disclosed last year, executives of All Aboard Florida recently described specific new details on how the station will operate and what its associated towers and buildings will contain. They also provided a timeline for construction of various structures that will make up the station and business hub they call MiamiCentral.

[...]

Three towers will rise from the top of the elevated platform, Sanders said.

On the north end, a 10-story tower will house offices. On the south end, two other towers — one 39 stories and the other 33 — will be built for apartments. One of the towers will contain 450 units and the other 350.


Residents will have amenities that include pools, dog-walking areas, a jogging track and a basketball court.

The elevated platform and the towers rising from the top are all part of project’s first phase of development, along with a separate building just to the west of MiamiCentral where All Aboard Florida will house its headquarters, a parking lot with 1,181 spaces for passengers, more office space, and retail outlets.

On the elevated platform itself, All Aboard Florida envisions rail tracks for its Miami-Orlando passenger trains and for Tri-Rail, which is planning to operate commuter service out of the MiamiCentral station.

Workers are now setting up the foundation for the structure, drilling the holes where massive beams will be installed to hold elevated tracks. Sanders said he expects the beam work to be completed by November. Then workers will begin building the towers. Under the current plan, MiamiCentral will open by the end of 2016, Sanders said.

The office tower and the residential towers are expected to be completed by 2017.

For now, the contractor, Suffolk, is drilling 1,680 piles into the ground, some going 60 feet deep and others 115 feet, to support the elevated structure.


“We will have four rigs, a rig on each block, drilling piles and filling them up with concrete every day, so the entire building can sit on these fingers that go down into the ground,” Sanders said.

In the second phase of the project, Sanders said, All Aboard Florida plans to build a tower just south of the elevated station to house a hotel and more residential apartments. The work is expected to begin in mid- to late-2017.

When completed, the hotel-residential tower would rise to about 850 feet, Sanders said.

All Aboard Florida expects to start express passenger train service in two phases. The first is from Miami to Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach in late 2016 and the second to Orlando in 2017.

Go ask SOM about it since they designed most of the stations for All Aboard Florida.

First Vote Next Week On $69 Million Subsidy To Bring Tri-Rail Into Downtown Miami

Quote:
Miami commissioners will vote next week on providing $11 million towards the cost of bringing Tri-Rail into All Aboard Florida’s MiamiCentral project in downtown Miami.

AAf is asking for $69 million in financing to accomodate Tri-Rail. In addition to $11 million provided by the city, $20 million would come from the state, $8 million from the county, and $29 million from the CRA in the form of rebated property taxes. None of the other agencies have approved financing the project yet.

Mayor Tomás Regalado has said that he would veto the financial assistance to the project and will campaign against it on radio.

Commissioner Keon Hardemon told the Herald that he has been promised free rides on Tri-Rail for his constituents in Overtown, and will support the financing. Marc Sarnoff also supports the plan, while the remaining commissioners are undecided.

Construction at MiamiCentral is already underway. All Aboard Florida officials have said that they must know within weeks whether to build the project to accommodate Tri-Rail.

I split the threads.

Post #42 from Chris08876 clearly states that what is under construction now is the 33 and 30 floor towers along with 12 and 10 story buildings.

It states the 80 story tower will not begin until 2017, and it looks like it may have been cut down to 850 feet.

So therefore, the "Supertall" portion will be moved back to the proposals sub-forum until there is proof that this portion is under construction and still in fact a Supertall and has not been downsized.

bummer but not surprising, I wonder if Miami will ever see 300+ meters. There are enough proposals but they never quite seem to make it.

Thats accurate. The supertall portion is phase 2 and is definitely not under construction.

All Aboard Florida Working On A Fifth Downtown Miami Tower And A Fort Lauderdale Rental Tower

Quote:
All Aboard Florida is in talks to expand their real estate and rail project:

The company is in negotiations with the city of Miami for a land swap deal that could allow for a fifth tower to be built as part of the MiamiCentral project. AAF wants to exchange a piece of land that they own near the Miami Arena site, for a parcel next to Government Center

Negotiations with the city are ongoing over air rights needed for the train guideways that will run above city streets into the terminal. A vote on the matter is likely later this month.

Dade commissioners approved a payment to AAF to place a Tri-Rail station in the MiamiCentral project on a first reading. Talks are ongoing over payments for Tri-Rail from the CRA and the city.

All Aboard Florida unveiled plans for a 20-story tower next to the Fort Lauderdale station. In addition, the company wants local officials to consider a deal that could redevelop and add new towers to property currently occupied by a bus depot, state office towers, and city hall.
