When we last looked at the Miami Beach Convention Center construction in January 2017, the outer façade was stripped and work was being done on the expansion.

The $620 million renovation and expansion will eventually have 1.4 million square feet of space. The new design on the the outside of the building is virtually complete, giving the building a modern look.

Although the building is open, completion is expected by the end of the year.

Built in 1958, the aging Miami Beach Convention Center is currently undergoing a $615 million renovation and expansion.

Construction, which started at the end of 2015, will include an extra 1.4 million square footage that will have a 60,000 square foot ballroom, 20,000 junior ballroom and 874 parking spaces. A proposed 300 foot hotel was planned, but was rejected by Miami Beach voters.

Although the convention center has been partially open, no events are scheduled until May, which allows workers to speed up construction and for an opening in time for Art Basel 2017.
