Brickell City Centre Developer Pledges Funds to Underline

MIAMI—Swire Properties Inc., the developer of Brickell City Centre, has committed $600,000 to fund The Underline, the proposed 10-mile linear park that aims to transform the underutilized land below Miami’s Metrorail. Similar to the concept of New York City’s High Line, The Underline will focus on transforming the space around Miami’s urban infrastructure and is set to be one of the city’s most ambitious projects.

Once completed, The Underline, which will act as both an urban trail and living art destination, will be anchored on the north end at the Miami River near Brickell Avenue and on the south end by the Dadeland South Metrorail Station. The Underline will encourage Miami residents to embrace a new urban lifestyle by walking, biking or taking mass transit as an alternative to driving.
