Casino giant Genting Group gears up for hotel/county bus terminal combo

Construction related to a mixed-use development encompassing the Omni bus terminal, Adrienne Arsht Center Metromover station and a planned hotel and retail center should begin before December, according to county transportation spokesperson Karla Damian.

Resorts World Miami, a subsidiary of Malaysian casino giant Genting Group, is to build a temporary bus station east of the current Omni terminal on North Bayshore Drive in or near the fourth quarter of this year. The station is to take about six months to complete and be used by riders during reconstruction of the Omni terminal.

The temporary station marks the first major move forward for the joint development since its unanimous approval by Miami-Dade County commissioners on April 18, 2017.

A timetable for the total project, including construction of the hotel, retail space and upgrades to the adjacent Metromover station, has yet to be determined, Ms. Damian said, adding that to minimize service interruption and ensure maximum safety, the temporary station must first be built before improvements to the existing bus terminal and Metromover begin.
