With 69 live-work residences integrated with 40,000ft² of retail space, the development is also said to provide about 50,000ft² of mixed-use, showroom, office and commercial space for Miami’s arts, technology and design sectors.
Project spokesman Lyle Chariff said: "Once it’s completed, Wynwood Central will appropriately represent the future of one of the country’s fastest growing neighbourhoods and serve as a catalyst for its growth and vitality, enhancing the overall quality of life."
Wynwood Central broke ground in November and is expected to be completed by mid 2015.
Comprising three floors of retail and commercial space, the eight-storey atrium building will also have two neighbourhood firsts, namely a parking garage with 420 covered spaces and a rooftop pool and bar.
