Canals front some of the most romantic and serene streets found in the world. The Town Center’s Canal Street will give pedestrians the opportunity to be close to the water and to enjoy its pleasant sounds and cooling effects that make for a highly memorable experience.
The civic buildings of a town identify the symbolic and ceremonial heart of a city. City Hall, the Cultural Center-Arts Park, the Community Library-Education Complex and the Mass Transit Hub have been grouped together to create a civic center that reflects the symbolic importance of the civic buildings of the City of Miramar. The Civic Plaza will anchor all of these uses. It will also serve as both a formal entry and a gathering space for various city functions. The design of the plaza is flexible enough to accommodate diverse programs.
The City Hall, Cultural Center-Arts Park and the Community Library-Educational Complex overlook the Town Center’s largest lake and greet the traveling public on the Red Road/Flamingo Road Connector and Miramar Boulevard. The Botanical Garden, located between the City Hall and the proposed Cultural Center-Arts Park also shares breathtaking views to the lake. The Botanical Garden is envisioned as an open air arcade that displays specimen plants from the South Florida region. It will also serve as the “trail head” for the “emerald necklace” path system that circles the lake and traverses the entire Town Center site.
City Hall Promenade will serve as the main shopping district filled with retail stores, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. Covered walkways along City Hall Promenade will connect City Hall Plaza to Market Square and create a comfortable shopping and entertainment environment.
Market Square is envisioned as an eclectic, people oriented space that is used for dining, markets and entertainment. Market Square opposes the Civic Plaza as the eastern terminus of City Hall Promenade. As a single ensemble, the Civic Plaza and Market Square (the two primary public spaces) connected by City Hall Promenade will accommodate Miramar’s largest cultural and entertainment events. Market Square will be home to all types of activities; formal and informal; arranged and spontaneous.
Located across from Market Square, the 4-story office building is designed to meet the highest business standards. The first floor of the building will contain specialty retail while floors 2-4 will contain office suites ranging in size from approximately 1,600 square feet to 43,000 square feet. An adjacent parking garage containing over 600 parking spaces offer tenants and their visitors generous parking.
The 5,700 square foot three-story clubhouse will contain a fully equipped fitness room, large party room with kitchen facilities, game room and a lagoon-style pool all nestled along a serene lake that serves as a backdrop. Residents of the Miramar Town Center will have an opportunity to enjoy these amenities which are located in walking distance from their homes.
