A Ten Mile Linear Park For Miami?

The Greenlink Project is proposing a ten mile linear park that would extend under the Brickell Metrorail station to the Dadeland station.

The idea is to have all the dead space under tracks converted into more of a green space that would be ideal for bikers and joggers. The plan would increase property value around the linear park. 

Right now the group has $2 million for funding.

If everything goes as planned then the project could start within a year and be completed in five to ten years.

Located North of the first phase of Brickell City Centre construction lies an empty plot of land. The land was used to hold the construction equipment for Brickell City Centre. The construction has been moved as Swire has plans to use the site as another condo apart of Brickell City Centre named North Squared. 

North Squared is between SE 6th St. and SE 5th St. and next to the metromover line. The condo is expected to have 350 units and is apart of the second phase of construction. No renderings of North Squared have been released yet.

Walgreens bought two lots to build a futuristic store and on that first lot was an abandoned car wash that sat empty since 2006. The second lot had a two story low income apartment building that is directly across from Chetrit Group's new Miami Riverwalk. 

Demolition was just completed on the car wash and Walgreens just recently knocked down the apartment building. Construction should begin on the new Walgreens in the next few months.

Below are photos of the apartment building that was on 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
