Introduction
The Miami Worldcenter is a multi-block mixed-use development immediately north of
the Central Business District in downtown Miami. It is generally defined by NE 2nd
Avenue to the east, North Miami Avenue to the west, NE 11th Street to the north, and
NE 6th Street to the south.
Spanning over thirty acres, the Miami Worldcenter is planned to include a dynamic mix
of retail, restaurant, entertainment, hospitality, residential, office, and other uses that
will create a vibrant, walkable pedestrian environment with a unique sense of place and
a modern design statement driven by Miamis unique physical context, culture, and
architectural heritage.
The Miami Worldcenter Development Standards will establish appropriate standards
for the design of streets, public spaces, and buildings within the MWC Special District
area. These Development Standards shall be considered the guiding principles for all
new development.

Regulating Plan
The Miami Worldcenter project was guided by the goal of establishing a memorable,
pedestrian district with a strong integrated public realm. This includes an interconnected
system of well-defined streets, plazas, promenades, paseos, and other pedestrian
spaces tailored to Miamis climate.
The regulating plan for Miami Worldcenter summarizes the general configuration of
the open space within the site area, including major civic spaces, publicly accessible
sidewalks, paseos, and pedestrian-only thoroughfares. The regulating plan also defines
the location of open spaces and significant towers within the district.

Street System
A unified street system with a clear hierarchy has been developed at Miami Worldcenter.
Narrow streets set the stage for larger, more significant streets, each street having a
distinct personality and function to create a range of experiences. This will include
variation in scale, enclosure, materials, sidewalk width, and retail character.
Designated as a prominent street at Miami Worldcenter, NE 1st Avenue serves as a
primary connection from the Central Business District and Downtown.
A gateway street defined by the elevated Metromover train and intense residential
development along the east side of the street near Biscayne Boulevard. Improvements
to areas around the Metromover are contemplated to improve the pedestrian experience
and to improve transit ridership and accessibility.
A north-south neighborhood gateway street providing linkages to the Central Business
District and the Omni Neighborhood.
East-west perimeter street with a strong connection to the Port of Miami.
Pedestrian-only promenade with retail and restaurant activity, connecting the American
Airlines Arena to the east and the future FEC development to the west.
Major east-west street connecting the American Airlines Arena and the Biscayne
Waterfront to the Overtown Transit Village and I-95 to the west.
East-west street, a portion of which will be a covered pedestrian Paseo.
A Tree-lined street that provides an east-west linkage between the Overtown
Neighborhood and Museum Park.
Mixed-use street with a focus on entertainment uses.
Existing freight rail corridor between the MWC Promenade and NE 6th Street.

Building Continuity
y To establish a high standard of excellence in building design.
y To develop a district with a distinct sense of form and place.
y To avoid the development of streets with varying levels of design quality.

Individual structures shall be continuous in design with no street facing side unimproved.
Architectural details (including roof lines, cornices, and parapets) shall continue around
all sides of a structure.
Comparable materials shall be used on all sides of a structure.

Architectural Scaling Elements
y To avoid large areas of undifferentiated or blank building facades.
y To create a comfortably scaled and thoughtfully detailed pedestrian environment
through the use of well-designed architectural forms and details.
y To create building facades that take advantage of Miamis sunny climate to reinforce
changes in plane, material texture, and detail through the interplay of light and
shadow.
Architectural scaling elements should be used to reduce the appearance of large
building facades. Variation in building scaling may include changes in wall plane or
height and may relate to primary building entries, important corners or other significant
architectural features.
Architectural detail may relate to but not necessarily mimic traditional building details,
such as pilasters and belt courses, to establish a human-scale vocabulary.
Balconies and terraces are strongly encouraged for residential uses. These elements
shall be incorporated into vertical and horizontal shifts and building massing wherever
possible.

Building Materials and Finishes
y To encourage human scaled buildings through the use of smaller material modules.
y To ensure the consistent use of high quality materials appropriate to the urban
environment.
y To promote the use of environmentally responsible building materials.

All building materials to be used shall express their specific properties. For example,
heavier more permanent materials (masonry) generally support lighter materials (stucco
and glass).
Building materials at the lower floors shall respond to the character of the pedestrian
environment through such qualities as scale, texture, color and detail.
Building materials shall be selected with the objectives of quality and durability within
an urban context.

by creating multiple external, street oriented entries to ground floor,
pedestrian-active uses.
Entries to ground floor uses shall be direct and as numerous as possible to encourage
active pedestrian use.
Each commercial use with an exterior, street-oriented exposure shall have an individual
public entry from the street.
All street-oriented building entries shall be directly connected to the public sidewalk via
paved walk, stair, or ramp.
Primary building entries shall be emphasized by recessing the door a minimum of 3-0,

facades that provides a greater variety of scale through material variation, detail and
surface relief.
The Facades on retail Frontages shall be detailed as storefronts and glazed with clear glass
no less than seventy percent (70%) of the linear ground floor facade and any second floor
facade fronting pedestrian-active uses such as breezeways, hallways, or bridges, and shall
be constructed of transparent materials, or otherwise designed to allow pedestrians to
view activities inside the building or displays related to those activities. Security screens
shall be seventy percent (70%) open.
For retail stores with an area of 35,000 sf or more along Frontages, the required area of
glass in a retail facade shall be equal to 50% of the length of the unencumbered facade
times 12 in height. For purposes of satisfying this glass requirement, the area of glass
can be measured to a height of 16 above grade.
