MIAMI—As Miami Beach weighs two plans for the redevelopment of the Miami Beach Convention Center and its 52-acre site, an operating proforma recently filed with the City reveals that Portman-CMC plans 186,200 square feet of retail and commercial space. That's roughly 50% more than the 125,000 square feet the team is promising publicly.

A spokesman for Portman says these are actually earlier and inaccurate numbres. the newst loi calls for 125,000 square feet. of rtail and commercial.

What's more, the team plans commercial kiosks around the site and along Washington Avenue that they have not defined in scope, according to public documents submitted to the City. That runs contrary to the Miami Beach community's opposition to significant retail and commercial space on the convention center site. This new revelation contrasts sharply with South Beach ACE's plans for a minimal amount of retail space designed to link the convention center site with Lincoln Road Mall, according to city records. Portman-CMC could not immediately be reached for comment, but we will update the story if the group responds.
