With City Landswap, Flatiron Park Is Out, Flatiron Building Is In - Unarrested Development - Curbed Miami

Remember this? The Brickell Flatiron Building, a wedge-shaped residential tower designed by Enrique Norten, is back. Developer Mallory Kauderer is in negotiations with the City of Miami for a complicated landswap deal on the site of the long-delayed project that would allow him to expand it to the full block, giving him thousands of additional residential square feet. Sadly, the resurrection of the building means the death of Kauderer's never-quite-finished Brickell Flatiron Park.

I hope it will serve as a catalyst to convert South Miami Ave. into a pedestrian plaza like TImes Square, NYC or at least a mini Lincoln Road. It could pretty smoothly connect to CitiCentre as well--a true retail/dining/entertainment center in the city center! The current setup is laughable: surface parking lots, no mid-block pedestrian crossing, and valet parking where the mid-block pedestrian cross walk SHOULD be.

Agree with hurricaneman -- I think this project (which incorporates a city street and the Metromover into the design) could integrate with the street well. The development going on in Brickell, which includes this and CityCenter, is going to do more for the city than a tiny park could have
