I heard somewhere that UM was trying to build two 15-story towers for the purposes of medical research... has anyone heard anything about these, cause that would be amazing... the number of beneifts is uncountable, increasing density in an already dense area, more public transportation use, cause the civic center metro station (the one that serves jackson) is one of the only ones that actually gets used a good amount, and gives a huge advantage over parking if u work there, i know, i did for a while and i took the train, and the prestige that it would bring to UMs medical school, which is already one of the best in the country, imagine, 30 stories worth of research

but i havent heard anything in a while... did these plans get scrapped?

This is from April 2004


"...Seybold, 816 NW 11th St., is expected to open in September, said co-developer Albert Milo. He said all but two of the project's 96 units are already sold.
Wagner Square, 1700 NW 14th St., is in the permitting process, he said. Mr. Milo said it will have 198 units starting at $130,000 and should be complete by July 2006.
Related Group of Florida opened a 209-unit development last fall next to the Santa Clara Metrorail Station and Jackson Memorial Hospital at Northwest 13th Avenue and 20th Street. Related is planning a 204-unit project next door.
Prices for units at the projects range from $120,000 to $300,000, and the developers said targeted buyers have an annual household income of $35,000 to $75,000.
"We have a lot of intern doctors and nurses and a lot of downtown workers, too," Mr. Milo said.
The projects are surrounded by older single-family homes and limited retail stores that include a Winn-Dixie supermarket and several fast-food chain restaurants.
Despite the large employers and the convenience to mass transit and downtown, the Civic Center area met with little interest from residential developers until recently.
Mr. Milo, who broke ground on his first Civic Center project in 2003, attributed that to poor leadership in previous city administrations.
"It was in part because of the political instability in the City of Miami," he said, "and I think it is a credit to Mayor Manny Diaz that he has had the vision to get people to the table."
Miami Riverhouse is to include 8,856 square feet of retail space and 12,900 square feet of office space.
The city announced a partnership recently with the University of Miami to work to create more jobs in the area - the first step in the city's master plan for the area, developed by a 14-person team of graduate students last year during a two-week workshop.
Other improvements in the plan include:
nRestoration of green spaces along Wagner Creek to connect different clusters in the area via trails.
nConstruction of an entertainment complex with a cinema, a gymnasium, restaurants, retail stores and an amphitheater along Northwest 11th Street.
nConstruction of housing on Northwest 11th Street as well as retail stores and hotels on Northwest 14th Street near the medical center.
nEstablishment of an outdoor marketplace where people can get coffee and fresh produce and enjoy entertainment.
nImprovements to the Medical Campus Metrorail Station, including the addition of public artwork and signs to give the station an identity.
nCreation of a diverse mix of housing for students, senior citizens and families.
