Inter Miami CF released a video today that showed new renderings of a stadium proposed at Miami Freedom Park.

In the new video, a roof appears to shield most fans from sun and rain while leaving the field under open air, in a concept similar to that at Hard Rock Stadium. Arquitectonica, the firm previously announced as the architect for Beckham’s stadium, also was the architect for the roof at the Hard Rock.

‏The roof appears to be white with pink illumination at night, and may also be either translucent or reflective.

A large plaza is shown next to the stadium, along with a lineup of parking garages with rooftop soccer.

A series of other buildings is also shown, which has been said to be a hotel and a tech hub.

Japan’s Softbank announced plans today for a new $5 billion Softbank Innovation Fund, which would have offices in Miami and a focus on Lain America. Softbank COO Marcelo Claure, a partner with Beckham in the Freedom Park project, will oversee the fund (Softbank founder and CEO Masayoshi Son is also a partner in the Miami project).

The location of the Softbank Innovation Fund office hasn’t been announced, but one obvious choice could be the Freedom Park tech hub.

Renderings revealed: Beckham group’s Miami stadium
$1B complex calls for 25K-seat stadium, hotel, office park

Quote:

Inter Miami CF, the Major League Soccer team owned by David Beckham, Marcelo Claure, Jorge and Jose Mas and their partners, unveiled new renderings of its future home.

Miami Freedom Park would be the permanent home for the team. The Beckham group is pursuing another site in Fort Lauderdale for a temporary stadium, where the owners would spend more than $60 million to redevelop the now-closed Lockhart Stadium.

Inter Miami, also known as Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami, would play its first two seasons at Lockhart Stadium while a stadium is built in Miami. After the team’s second season, Lockhart Stadium would serve solely as an 18,000-seat exhibition and training facility.

The Miami site scored a victory late last month when Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz preserved the outcome of the referendum in November, when 60 percent of Miami voters authorized the negotiation of a 99-year lease for the development of a stadium and commercial complex on the Melreese Country Club property.

The $1 billion development calls for a 25,000-seat stadium and a hotel, office park and commercial campus on the city-owned Melreese golf course, which spans 73 acres. Beckham’s MLS team would also build a public park on an adjacent site.

Four out of five city commissioners still have to approve the plan, and legal challenges remain. In March, the Miami City Commission set a Sept. 16 deadline for City Manager Emilio Gonzalez to present a negotiated 99-year lease allowing Beckham’s group to build Miami Freedom Park.

City commissioners are also requiring Gonzalez to seek their approval for any real estate consultants he wants to hire to assist with the negotiations.

The developers behind Miami Freedom Park have submitted a concept book with revised renderings of the project to Miami planners.

According to the revised proposal, Miami Freedom Park is planned to include:

25,000 seat MLS stadium
600,000 square foot retail/soccer village
400,000 square feet office
750 hotel rooms
5,100 parking spaces

It isn’t clear of there will be a direct connection to the Miami Intermodal Center, where there are Metrorail, Tri-Rail, and other mass-transit connections. A presentation states that a connection is proposed as part of the project’s vision, and a bridge is shown in one of the renderings. A letter from the developer’s attorney says there will be “enhanced crosswalks” and “new pedestrian access points.”

The project was scheduled for a hearing before Miami’s Urban Development Review Board this week.

According to the new concept book, the entire development will be in compliance with FAA and Miami-Dade Aviation height restrictions, despite sitting at the end of one of MIA’s runways.

Miami commissioners voted last week to begin negotiations on moving their administrative office building to the new development, according to Miami Today.

Arquitectonica is the architect.

Hmmm... Looks like Miami got bamboozled. Original renderings looked so much more sexy. Still a good project, I guess but still.

The previous version looked like a neon purple cockroach.
