Location Park West, Miami, Florida, United States

Miami Worldcenter is a large mixed-use development under construction[1] led by principals Arthur Falcone and Nitin Motwani, spanning several blocks in the Park West neighborhood of Miami, Florida, just north of Downtown.[2] It may include over 25 acres of land, with a convention center, hotel space, residential, as well as copious street level retail and large anchor tenant space, such as Macy's and Bloomingdale's.[3] The hotel and convention center are planned to be part of the same 55 storey building.[4] The hotel will be very large with 1,800 rooms over the approximately 600,000 square feet (55,742 m2) convention center.[3] One proposed residential building known as the Miami Worldcenter Signature Tower may rise to the maximum 749 feet (228 m) above sea level permitted in that area.[5] The project may connect with the under construction All Aboard Florida intercity higher-speed rail system's Miami station.[3]

Taubman announced that it will not be developing an enclosed regional mall. Instead the company is planning to build an open-air development better reflecting Miami's sunny weather.[6][7] The change in plans reflects a change in strategy for REITs as they move away from the enclosed regional mall concept.[7]
