City View Garage Miami

The Design District in Miami is rapidly changing with the addition of Dacra's expansion to the area. 

One of the those addition's is the City View Garage located next to I-195. Used mostly as a garage, but it will also include retail on the ground level, plus some office space. 

On the Southeast side of the garage is a façade created by IwamotoScott made of 1/8" painted aluminum.

The Western façade of the garage features the work of Leong Leong that will create foliage like patterns. 

Since we last looked at Palm Court, just east of City View Garage, the centerpiece has been added, which is Buckminster Fuller's 24 foot "Fly Eye Dome." Along with Sou Fujimoto's blue fin glass structure, Palm Court will add to the visual appeal of the expansion.

Progression Of Brickell City Centre From South Miami Ave.

Swire Properties' Brickell City Centre is a massive construction project in the heart of Brickell. It's hard to get a sense of how big the project is until you stand on South Miami Ave. and see the construction on three full city blocks. 

On what was once empty lots, are now large skyscrapers changing the Miami skyline. 

Below are photos of Brickell City Centre facing East on South Miami Ave where construction on Hotel East, Reach Brickell City Centre, North Squared Condo, offices, wellness center and retail are being built. In the other direction facing West (not in the photos) is construction on Rise Brickell City Centre, offices and retail.

Brickell City Centre's growth can also be seen from the 8th St. Metromover Station before its closing.
