Julia Tuttle Park Proposed As Part Of Hyatt Redevelopment

By TNM Staff on July 13, 2017

Miami commissioner Ken Russell wants a public park to be built as part of a redeveloped Hyatt in downtown Miami.

At a commission meeting today, Russell presented a conceptual proposal for Julia Tuttle Park, which would be built next to the rebuilt Hyatt and Knight Center.

Russell showed a rendering of the concept prepared by Zyscovich Architects, which places the park on the river. The Hyatt is set back, while access ramps to I-95 are removed.

With the new proposal, the Hyatt redevelopment likely won’t be placed before voters on November’s ballot, after the item was withdrawn.

Hyatt’s current lease runs until 2078, so the company still has the option of walking away from redevelopment talks and remaining in the existing hotel.

In a statement, architect Bernard Zyscovich said that his concept would open up the area by bringing I-95 ramps to grade.

Under Zyscovich’s plan, the Miami Ave. Bridge would become more accessible by providing a second access point from I-95, which could help reduce congestion at the intersection in front of the Brickell Avenue Bridge.

Moving the Hyatt development to the North opens up a new way of entering the City while still leaving enough space for a new park, according to Zyscovich.
