Miami Downtown’s $10 Billion new developments The evolution of Downtown Miami.


Miami’s Skyline from today until 2020 are depicted. Two of these projects are bigger than big and will change Miami’s landscaping forever; Brickell City Centre and Miami World Center.

Brickell – Miami’s financial district and sometimes referred to as the Wallstreet of the South. Real Estate in Brickell has moved fastly with a high number of luxurious new condos, selling at a record speed


Brickell City Centre is a $1.05 billion mixed-use development. Strategically located in the center of the Brickell financial district, this is the single largest project currently underway in downtown Miami. Brickell City Centre is anticipated to bring a whole new level of urban living and sophistication to the area and caters to the new Miami residents: a young, ambitious and wealthy crowd that travels the world and has sophisticated taste.


The Miami World Center is a nine block mixed-use development, which will bring a new energy to Miami with a blend of exceptional retail, restaurants, entertainment, hotels, residential and commercial offerings in one unique location. With almost 30 Acres Miami World Center will transform the heart of downtown Miami into one of the largest private master-planned urban environments in the world. With up to 20 million square feet of buildable area, this is not a project or a development – it is a city within a city. This new project will create a dynamic and vibrant urban core of diversity and excitement.

Miami Downtown will be the heart of Miami led by major developments as mentioned above. Besides these developments there is more entertainment, culture and arts coming to the Downtown area. The Perez Art Museum and the the Museum of Science are two brand new museums that just opened their doors in our city.

Miami will also be home to SkyRise Miami, this brand new icon on Miami’s skyline is more than just a mere observation tower with breathtaking 40 mile vistas of this oceanfront city. Its entertainment venues are designed to be enjoyed by visitors and residents alike. From fine dining and an exclusive nightclub to its ballroom and distinctive event space. This vertical entertainment center has something for everyone and will deliver an unforgettable experience for all.
Residents of the great Miami Downtown area are now also enjoying a striving arts, fashion and fine-dining culture. While everyone might have heard from the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts not all people know about Miami’s Art Walks or the high-end fashion scene in the Design District.

Everything is Rosy




Rose gold has made it’s comeback in a massive way – in everything from jewellery and watches to clothing and interior design. Warm rose gold tones blend well with a variety of colours and can be used to compliment either a bold, masculine look or a soft, feminine vibe. If you’re considering adopting this trend for your home this year, read on to discover the best ways to integrate this trend within your home.
“The designers had a La Cornue oven commissioned in copper to pick up on the family’s extensive range of copper pans. The copper detailing in the hood was also bespoke, designed and made by Artichoke. ‘La Cornue is a French company, and each oven is unique and specific to each customer, with different types of plates depending on their cooking styles,’ Andrew explains.”


Obviously, a 10-20k price range is not in everyone’s budget however, this kitchen trend is coming in strong with most manufacturers. Whirlpool is launching their Sunset Bronze color,.


Officially, Whirlpool told us, “We received tremendous positive response to the introduction of Sunset Bronze and are looking forward to bringing it to market in the future. Although we do not have a hard launch date yet, please continue to check Whirlpool.com for updates.”

KITCHEN APPLIANCE TREND

Say “good-bye” to the standard stainless steel package in the kitchen. Forward thinking kitchens are mixing metals and still looking strong with copper and unlacquered brass. If you’re all set with your appliances, you can mix in some metals through lighting, cabinet hardware and barstools.

Mosses are small flowerless plants that typically grow in dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations. The individual plants are usually composed of simple, one-cell thick leaves, attached to a stem that may be branched or unbranched and has only a limited role in conducting water and nutrients. Although some species have vascular tissue this is generally poorly developed and structurally different from similar tissue found in other plants.

Advances in the technology used to create ultra-compact surfaces have allowed the development of facade materials that are not what they first appear to be. 

Join Dwell senior editor Aileen Kwun in a discussion with Chip Bisignaro, Cosentino North America Facades Director, and Eric Styer, Principal at DXU architecture, on how those materials–which can be read as concrete, wood, and stone–have higher performance and can extend a building’s life expectancy.

It brings a new level of freedom, flexibility and fun to personal aviation and you can reserve yours today.
