SUBJECT: Convention Center Hotel Project-Grand Hyatt Miami Beach
Surface Parking Lot (P-29) -Temporary Closure
The purpose of this Letter to the Commission ("L TC") is to advise you that on April 14, 2022, the
surface parking lot (P-29) located on the corner of 17th Street and Convention Center Drive (the site
of the future Grand Hyatt Miami Beach) will be temporarily closed for a period of two (2) days, to
allow the root pruning of existing trees to be relocated as part of the Project. A total of fifty-one (51)
trees and palms will be relocated to other City-owned sites.
On March 4th , 2020, the City entered into an Early Access Agreement (Early Work) to accelerate
the opening date of the Hotel by allowing access to the Developer, MB Mixed Use Investment, LLC,
to commence certain projects required prior to the site possession date stipulated in the Ground
Lease and Development Agreement. Tree relocation is part of the scope of work under the Early
Work Agreement.
The Tree Work Permit was issued on March 15, 2022, and the activities will be supervised by a
certified arborist. Upon completion of root pruning activities, the parking lot will re-open to the public
and will remain available until this summer, when the remaining activities associated with the Early
Work will commence.
