<br />City’s financial district, Brickell City Centre is a nine-acre mixed-use development—
<br />and one of the largest active projects in the City of Miami today. The site comprises
<br />approximately three city blocks. At completion, this $1.05 billion project will include 2.9
<br />million square feet of retail, office, residential, and entertainment space. The parking
<br />demand for this proposed development will be satisfied by the construction of a two-
<br />level subterranean parking garage, which will extend beneath the right of way for full
<br />connectivity between the three blocks. This LEED Neighborhood Certified project will
<br />also include sustainable elements such as a climate ribbon, green roofs, and cisterns
<br />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
<br />work includes design, permitting, and construction administration for the installation
<br />of more than of 7,000 linear feet of new water and sewer utilities within an extremely
<br />congested utility corridor; full roadway reconstruction including drainage improvements;
<br />traffic signalization; and on-site stormwater management.

<br />is partnering with a private developer, the City of Miami, the Miami Community
<br />Redevelopment Agency (CRA), and other stakeholders in preparing typical sections
<br />for streetscapes for the City’s largest proposed downtown project. Kimley-Horn is
<br />also partnering with numerous utility companies to determine existing underground
<br />conditions. Once this information was obtained, we worked with multiple stakeholders

<br />multi-block project limits. The project is ongoing.
