CitizenM sets sights on Downtown Miami
Netherlands-based hotel brand CitizenM has announced plans to open a 348-key hotel within Miami Worldcenter, one of the largest private mixed-use developments underway in the United States, occupying 27 acres in the heart of the Downtown Miami.
The 128,000ft², 12-story hotel will include a 10th floor sun deck and swimming pool, as well as a fitness centre and gym on the 11th floor. Located adjacent to Miami Worldcenter’s pedestrian-only, open-air shopping promenade, the property has been designed by Gensler Architects. The hotel will also feature 1,850ft² of space for societyM, the brand’s signature creative spaces and meeting rooms, along with a cloudM rooftop bar offering views of Biscayne Bay.
Ernest Lee, Managing Director, Development & Investment for CitizenM US, comments,: “CitizenM’s rollout strategy has always centred around following our guests – a group of modern travellers who frequent true live/work/play destinations within the world’s gateway cities. We are very excited to join the Miami Worldcenter development, a transformative project that will offer a high quality mix of workplace, residential, dining, nightlife, shopping, conference, and transit outlets.”
Spanning ten city blocks, Miami Worldcenter is a $2 billion mixed-use development seeking to reshape the heart of Downtown Miami. Construction on the first phase of the project, which includes the 60-story Paramount luxury condominium, the 444-unit CAOBA Class A apartment tower, and high-street retail, is now underway and slated for completion later this year.
Nitin Motwani, Managing Principal for Miami Worldcenter Associates adds: “We set out to create an economic driver and international destination, Miami Worldcenter, in the heart of Downtown Miami as well as a vibrant neighbourhood that will draw locals and visitors alike. Welcoming CitizenM to Miami Worldcenter expands our reach in being able to offer an affordable yet luxuriously-designed hotel within our ‘city within a city,’ and is in line with our grand vision, the likes of which Miami has never seen before.”
