Design District Museum Garage
The 7 story Museum Garage in the Design District that can hold up to 800 cars is nearly completed and ready to open any day now.
When we first looked at the project in February 2018, most of the outside façade was completed with a few additions since then.
Museum Garage was curated by Terence Riley K/R Architects and featuring the work of WORKac - "Ant Farm", J. MAYER H. - "XOX - (Hugs & Kisses), Clavel Arquitectos - "Urban Jam" and Nicolas Buffe - "Serious Play".
Museum Garage is the second garage to be built in the area after City View Garage in 2015.

Museum Garage will feature the work of six different artists including Sagmeister & Walsh, Work Architecture Company, K/R Keenen Riley Architects, Clavel Arquitectos, J. Mayer H and Nicolas Buffe that was curated by Terence Riley of K/R Architects.
One of the more unique designs is called "Urban Jam" by Clavel Arquitectos that features 45 cars painted in silver and gold lining the façade of the South portion of the garage.
Museum Garage, which will also have retail on the ground floor, is located only a couple blocks from City View Garage that opened in March 2015.
Brickell Heights Mural by Fabián Burgos
At the end of July, the colorful mural by artist Fabián Burgos started going up on the North side of the parking garage at Brickell Heights.
Now that the cranes have come down and more work has been done on the site, the mural is really starting to take shape.
The vibrant colors add a pop to the two towers and will look even more incredible when it surrounds the entire parking garage.
Brickell Heights is expected to be completed by early 2017.

Rockne Krebs - The Miami Line
As part of the Miami-Dade Art in Public Places Program, artist Rockne Krebs was commissioned to create "The Miami Line" in 1984. The colored bulbs extended 1,540 feet on the Metrorail tracks that created a colorful glow over the Miami River.
Over the years the bulbs went out or were damaged. Eventually the lights burned out for good in 2012.
The City of Miami art in public spaces has restored the iconic Rockne Krebs' "The Miami Line" lighting exhibit along the Metrorail bridge that illuminates the river at night. Troy Taylor (VP, The Riverfront Master Association and Board President, The Mint Condo Association) joined with Brett Bibeau of the Miami River Commission 3 years ago, and Taylor states, "with the growing demand for luxury condos and trendy restaurants, along the Miami River I vowed 3 years ago that I could not let the lights go out on this Iconic landmark."
Although "The Miami Line" is partially re-lit an stops about halfway over the Miami River, only partial funding has been has been given so far, which includes 52 LED lights at a cost of $822,500, according to The Miami New Times.
Funds still need to be raised and budgeted to extend "The Miami Line" to its original length and on both sides of the Metrorail tracks.
The Miami Line Over The Miami River
The neon lights that used to light over The Miami River called "The Miami Line", may finally light again in the next few weeks, according to The Miami New Times.
The neon lights on the Metrorail tracks are the work of artist Rockne Krebs, who was commissioned in 1984 to produce the work for the Miami-Dade Art in Public Places Program. Initially, the lights only spanned 300 feet, but was later extended to 1,540 feet.
When "The Miami Line" first debuted, the city was not known for its lighting and that section of town was very inactive. Over the years, Miami/Brickell has grown to include many colorful buildings such as The Miami Tower and Brickell World Plaza, that only enhance the city, especially at night.
Below are photos of The Miami Line in 2012 before the lights burned out.
