DESCRIPTION:

Situated in the heart of Downtown Miami, Metropolitan Miami will be comprised of luxury high-rise residences with authentic lofts. Known as Met 1, Met 2 and Met 3, these three towers will be enhanced by 200,000 square feet of exciting retail, lifestyle and entertainment space. Among the entertainment venues will be a distinctive, community-oriented multiscreen cinema--which will become downtown Miami's main multiplex. Not to be forgotten is the ample parking, pedestrian-friendly piazzas, tree-lined walkways, loggias and the signature city and water views Miami is known for. This development is expected to be a key factor in energizing downtown Miami.

Metropolitan Miami's three residential towers will be classic modern buildings with a simple palette. Blue-green glass windows and railings, accented with silver metal and stone finishes, will give the buildings a cool feel and reflect their proximity to Biscayne Bay.

The initial phase of Metropolitan Miami will be launched with the unveiling of Met 1, the project's first residential tower. This 40-story tower is comprised of 447 diverse luxury condominiums that include classic floor plans, lofts with 20-foot ceilings and penthouses. This curved, L-shaped building features magnificent, unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay and the City of Miami.
