Swire Properties was set to begin construction on their new mixed-use development, Brickell CitiCentre, later this year and the plans will now include public transportation upgrades. Recent reports state that the $1.05 billion project that will be comprised of 2.8 million square feet of office, residential, hotel, retail and entertainment space will bring a redesign and additional enhancements to the Eighth Street Metromover station.
The proposed upgrades to the station intend to enhance its connection to Brickell CitiCentre, improve the landscaping under the Metromover guideway, and add two overhead pedestrian crossings that will span from South Miami Avenue to Southeast Seventh Street. Alyce Robertson, executive director of the Miami Downtown Development Authority, stated that “with the Metromover upgrades Brickell CitiCentre is slated to become another anchor for Downtown’s thriving Brickell Financial District, enhancing the neighborhood’s 24/7 appeal among residents, businesses and visitors.”
