All Aboard Florida has officially named its Downtown Miami megaproject/railway terminal, and it's called MiamiCentral. This of course is a derivative of the nickname that many have already given it "Miami Grand Central Station", and is quite snappy. In addition to that, and announcing the official leasing agents, blah blah blah, the three million square feet project, encompassing the main station block as well as the site in Overtown, will include 1,100 residential units and 800,000 square feet of office space in multiple towers. The first two office towers will contain 215,000 square feet of leasable space total. Oh, and 200,000 square feet of retail, which is basically a small-ish mall.

on July 16, 2014 – CBRE arranged the sale of 200 South Miami, an income-producing high-rise development opportunity in the heart of downtown Miami, adjacent to the Third Street Miami Metromover station. As an optimal site for a condominium, apartment community, or mixed-use project within Miami’s walkable “live/work/play” downtown, 200 South Miami features Miami21 zoning of T6-80, to allow for a total density of 1,390 units. While the site currently hosts a four-story, 85,907-square-foot building, proposed designs suggest it could accommodate a 1.7 million square-foot building with 1,020 units and 974,804 square feet of salable condominiums.
