One of the most prized pieces of waterfront land in Florida will soon come alive with Resorts World Miami, a Destination Resort featuring iconic skyscrapers inspired by a coral reef. The $3 billion investment by Genting Group comprises approximately 10 million square feet rising from 13.9 acres currently home to the Miami Herald. The new facility includes four hotels with 5, 200 rooms and two residential towers with 1, 000 units., each building designed with balconies adorned with LED-lit exteriors. The resort will include a super-luxury hotel, contemporary hotel, convention hotel, and a family hotel. The towers sit atop an 8-story podium featuring a two-story, 250, 000 square foot luxury retail galleria; more than 50 restaurants, lounges, bars and nightclubs; a high-tech multimedia entertainment area showcasing the music and culture of Florida and South America; and 700, 000 square feet of convention and meeting space which includes a 200, 000 square foot column-free ballroom, the largest in the United States. A casino is also planned, pending government approval. Outdoor features include terraces offering spectacular views of Biscayne Bay, Miami and Miami Beach and a 3.6 acre outdoor lagoon with natural sand beaches. Each hotel will also have a private swimming pool. Resorts World Miami will be the highlight of a three-mile Baywalk, which will link Bayfront Park, Bayside Market Place, American Airlines Arena, Museum Park, the Miami Art, the new Miami Science Museum, the Adrienne Arsht Center and the Omni Center, all connected by new public spaces and pedestrian, jogging and cycling paths. The complex maintains an emphasis on sustainability and LEED-certified solutions, including three levels of below-grade parking.
