Miami Riverwalk

Miami Riverwalk Now Called Miami River

Chetrit Group's Miami River Project

Originally called Miami Riverwalk, Chetrit Group has now decided to call the massive 4 60 story towers Miami River, according to Miami Today.

Phase one of the project will include one tower with 368 residential units, 150 hotel rooms and over 50,000 square feet in commercial space. 

Originally, improvements to the riverwalk which would connect under the bridge to Latitude on River was to be done in phase 3, but Miami Commissioners want work to be done right away. 

Currently, this is what the area looks like now.

Plans for Chetrit Group's Miami Riverwalk have been slightly altered before going under commission review, according to exMiami.

Revised plans call for public money totaling $22 million, which will include rebuilding the riverwalk and reconfiguring an exit off of I-95.

Currently, most of the houses and buildings on the site are boarded up with only a few businesses open before they have to vacate. Finnegan's on the River has been closed and workers are dismantling the site.

More details have emerged on Chetrit's Group Miami Riverwalk from Miami Today.

Since announcing their plans to build four 60 story towers, which will include 1,762 units, 246 hotel rooms on 6.5 acres of land, Chetrit Group has bought land around the area including the bar Finnegans on the River.

Miami architectural firm Kobi Karp is designing the project, which will be done in 5 phases. Included under phase 3 will be the addition of a public riverwalk that will connect to the condo Latitude on the River, on the other side of the bridge. Also interesting is that they will be creating a new street in the middle of the whole project.

The project is located on an emerging part of town that is just east of I-95, a few blocks west of Brickell City Centre and across the street from a Walgreens that is soon to begin construction
