Weve been writing about Buildings That Changed Miami. What about buildings that will change Miami in the future? Miami is home to many new exciting architectural projects and the Miami Beach Convention Center redevelopment plan is no exception.
Fifty-two acres of premium real estate are at stake this year in South Beach as the city moves forward to overhaul the Miami Beach Convention Center. Completed in 1957, the original structure has undergone several renovations since, costing millions of dollars. The convention center is important to Miami Beachs economy and history.
In years past, the center hosted the Miss Universe Pageant from 1960 to 1971 and both Republican and Democratic National Conventions in 1972. In 1964, boxer Muhammad Ali fought Sonny Listing in a match at the center. An adjacent theater was also home to the Jackie Gleason Show, which made television history in the 1960s.
More recently, the center has been home to major events that attract affluent visitors from around the world. Two of the most prominent being the Miami International Boat Show and Art Basel, a sister art fair to the original in Switzerland. The art deco Jackie Gleason Theater for the Performing Arts, currently operated as The Fillmore by Live Nation, brings in top musical, dance and comedy acts.
Plans are underway, pending commission approval and public referendum concerning pubic land, to revamp Miami Beachs current Convention Center district. It now abuts the Frank Gehry designed New World Center and the technologically innovative Sound Space Park. Proposed plans for a modernization include more green space and public strolling areas just one block from Miami Beachs famous pedestrian mall, Lincoln Road.
The two proposed developments involve renowned architects and both have drawn up plans that feature a hotel and improved traffic patterns. Danish Bjarke Ingels of BIG has envisioned an enclosed public square, which includes retail and residential. Hes working with firm Portman CMC. Dutch architect Rem Koolhass and his Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) have incorporated a 190-foot tall hotel into their plans that would sit above the meeting spaces.
A loading dock and parking area would be covered by a public park. OMA is working with South Beachs Tishman ACE. The two innovative, contemporary architects are vying to leave their mark on Miami Beach. For future homeowners, this means buying property with significant architectural landmarks in their own backyard. Incidentally, Ingels is also behind the new Grove at Grand Bay development, which will feature two ultra modern towers on Miamis bay front.
