Mixed-use project may rise on Miami-Dade school district land

Quote:

The parcel is part of a 10-acre portfolio of offices, parking lots and vacant land next to the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts that the school system is considering selling. The parcels are also home to the school district’s headquarters, as well as two schools.

I thought they were in talking with Genting to buy their land. Did that fall through or not happen?

Resorts World Miami and several other groups are buyers in that neighborhood...depending on the price and terms.
The land has not been sold yet.

Exactly. There are at least three bidders.

Do they all want to build a 54-story building?

I don't know....but if you figure that a 54 story building with 11ft (slab to slab) per story, 54 stories would be about 596 ft.
