Metropolitan Miami, Mixed-use architectural complex in Downtown Miami, United States
Metropolitan Miami is a mixed-use complex of four skyscrapers in Downtown Miami containing apartments, offices, hotels, and shops. The development integrates these different functions across multiple connected buildings and grounds.
Met 1 was completed in 2008, followed by Met 2 in 2010. Met 3 opened in 2015 after delays caused by the subprime mortgage crisis, and Met Square was completed in 2018. Construction at Met Square uncovered Tequesta limestone circles and part of Henry Flagler's 1897 Royal Palm Hotel.
Construction at Met Square uncovered holes cut into limestone that form circles, interpreted as traces of a Tequesta village, with radiocarbon dates from A.D. 650 to 1500. The same site held part of Henry Flagler's 1897 Royal Palm Hotel. The tower was redesigned around these finds, with public observation areas and a planned Miami history museum that was never completed.
The complex is fully walkable and includes a supermarket, restaurants, and cafes throughout the grounds. The location offers good access to downtown Miami's public transportation network.
Met 2's podium holds 1,400 parking spaces and joins the 47-story Wells Fargo Center with a second tower housing the JW Marriott Marquis Miami and Hotel Beaux Arts, which has 313 guestrooms and 44 additional rooms. The two hotels share the building but keep separate entrances and facilities.
