surface parking lots located on 23rd Street, behind the Miami Beach Regional Library, and behind
the Miami City Ballet building, bridging over Liberty Avenue. The ground level of the proposed
structure, between Park and Liberty Avenues, will provide approximately 17,500 sq. ft. of retail
space, while the upper five (5) levels of the parking garage will accommodate approximately 470
parking spaces. The Project also contemplates a large public plaza at the ground level,just east of
Liberty Avenue, which will merge into the Liberty Avenue right of way, between 22nd and 23rd
streets,encouraging the pedestrian connectivity between the garage,Collins Park,the Miami Beach
Regional Library and the Miami City Ballet.
