Miami Worldcenter occupies 27 acres in the heart of downtown Miami and is one of the largest private real estate developments currently underway in the U.S. The newest planed addition to Miami Worldcenter is 110 10th Street, a 45-story, 600,000-sf office-led mixed-use tower developed by Hines.
In addition to its Class A office space, the tower, which will be designed by Pickard Chilton Architects, will provide high-street retail. The tower represents the first Class A office building of scale constructed in Miami’s Central Business District in eight years. It will rise between northeast 1st and 2nd Avenues and northeast 9th and 10th Streets, adjacent to Miami Worldcenter’s 360,000 sf high-street retail promenade.
“It has been nearly a decade since Miami has received an office tower of this size and scale. We strongly believe that the quality, location and accessibility of this building will be appealing to a wide range of tenants,” says Hines Senior Managing Director Michael Harrison in a release.
110 10th Street and Miami Worldcenter will link Miami’s Central Business District with its Arts & Entertainment District. Miami Worldcenter will include retail, hospitality, residential, and commercial space when completed. The first phase is currently under construction and includes high-street retail, a 50-story Paramount luxury condominium, and a Class A rental apartment building.

CityCenter’s new Harmon Hotel targeted for demolition
MGM Resorts officials want to demolish the unopened 27-story Harmon Hotel—one of the main components of its brand new $8.5 billion CityCenter development in Las Vegas. In 2008, inspectors found structural work on the Harmon didn’t match building plans submitted to the county, with construction issues focused on improperly placed steel reinforcing bar. In January 2009, MGM scrapped the building’s 200 condo units on the upper floors and stopped the tower at 27 stories, focusing on the Harmon having just 400 hotel rooms. With the Lord Norman Foster-designed building mired in litigation, construction has since been halted on the interior, and the blue-glass tower is essentially a 27-story empty shell.
