COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM

TO: Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee Members


FROM:
Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager


DATE: February 28, 2020


SUBJECT:DISCUSSION REGARDING THE BEST USES FOR THE COLLINS PARK GARAGE RETAIL SPACE 

ANALYSIS:

The Collins Park Parking Garage on 23rd Street once completed in the summer of 2020 will span the entire block from Park Avenue to Liberty Avenue, and immediately adjacent to the Miami City Ballet. The structure includes approximately 16,000 square feet of ground floor retail space with over 500 vehicular parking spaces above. The commercial space is located along 23rd Street, with an open terrace wrapping around the exterior that is suitable for outdoor cafes.  We understand there are multiple ideas for what would be the best use of that space and we look forward to the discussion regarding prioritization of uses.
