<br />Principal-in-Charge
<br />RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
<br />Miami Worldcenter, Miami, FL — Project Manager. Kimley-Horn partnered with a private
<br />developer, the City of Miami, the Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), and other
<br />stakeholders in preparing typical sections for streetscapes for the City’s largest proposed
<br />downtown project. Kimley-Horn also partnered with numerous utility companies to determine
<br />existing underground conditions. Once this information was obtained, we worked with multiple
<br />stakeholders to develop and evaluate various streetscape options for roads and avenues within
<br />the multi-block project limits.
<br />Hialeah Park Development of Regional Impact (DRI), Hialeah, FL — Project engineer for
<br />this redevelopment project. Kimley-Horn is currently providing entitlement services, which include
<br />DRI, comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning, and master planning for the redevelopment
<br />of Hialeah Park in the City of Hialeah, Florida. Hialeah Park is a 202-acre, former horse racing
<br />facility which first opened in 1926. The redeveloped site is expected to include 3,760 residential
<br />units, retail and office space, a town center, school, and several parks and urban plazas. For
<br />future portions of the project, Kimley-Horn will provide civil engineering, urban design, landscape
<br />architecture, planning, and project management services.
<br />North and South River Drives - Miami River Greenway, Miami, FL — Project Manager.
<br />Kimley-Horn was retained to redesign North and South River Drives in the City of Miami to
<br />incorporate a continuous greenway along the Miami River. The firm developed schematic designs
<br />and 30 percent construction documents. Additional aesthetic improvements included site
<br />furniture, pedestrian lighting, and preliminary landscape recommendations to enhance the overall
<br />quality and provide a definable image for the Miami River Greenway. In addition to landscape
<br />architecture and urban planning, Kimley-Horn also provided civil engineering, roadway design,
<br />and stormwater retrofitting services for this project. With these in-house capabilities, the design
<br />team was able to produce high-quality 30 percent construction drawings for the City within the
<br />anticipated timeframe.
<br />Gables Station Mixed-Use Development, Coral Gables, FL — Principal-in-charge. Gables
<br />Station is a transit-oriented development that combines residential space, public space, and
<br />commercial space in a prime location. Gables Station is a unique development that will connect
<br />Coral Gables to Downtown Miami through the transit corridors of US 1 and the Metrorail. Kimley-
<br />Horn is providing civil engineering, transportation/traffic engineering, and landscape architectural
<br />services for this development.
<br />Swire Properties, Brickell City Centre, Miami, FL — Project Manager. Located at the core of
<br />the City’s financial district, Brickell City Centre is a nine-acre mixed-use development—and one
<br />of the largest active projects in the City of Miami today. The site comprises approximately three
<br />city blocks. At completion, this $1.05 billion project will include 2.9 million square feet of retail,
<br />office, residential, and entertainment space. The parking demand for this proposed development
<br />will be satisfied by the construction of a two-level subterranean parking garage, which will extend
<br />beneath the right-of-way for full connectivity between the three blocks. This LEED Neighborhood
<br />Certified project will also include sustainable elements such as a climate ribbon, green roofs, and
<br />cisterns for irrigation use. As the engineer of record, Kimley-Horn is providing an array of civil
<br />engineering, transportation planning, and traffic engineering services. The scope of work includes
<br />design, permitting, and construction administration for the installation of more than 7,000 linear
<br />feet of new water and sewer utilities within an extremely congested utility corridor; full roadway
<br />reconstruction including drainage improvements; traffic signalization; and on-site stormwater
<br />management.
