Miami board OK’s Beckham stadium design

Posted by:

David Beckham’s proposed Major League Soccer stadium and surrounding mixed-use development just cleared another hurdle.

The Miami Urban Development Review Board approved designs for the 25,000-seat stadium and nearly 5,000-car parking garage, as well as the master plan for the broader project, which includes a hotel, offices and a public park.

The decision is another milestone for the Miami Freedom Park project, a permanent home for the Inter Miami CF soccer club that’s been nine years in the making and has drawn opposition along the way.

Manica is the lead architect of the stadium, which will be on the north end of the site. At the northwest corner of the land will be a 750-key hotel and 400,000 square feet of office space targeting the growing influx of tech companies to South Florida, according to an Arquitectonica presentation at the board meeting. The plan is for roughly 600,000 square feet of commercial space, largely within a “soccer village” south of the stadium with retail and restaurants.

Inter Miami CF began playing MLS games two years ago at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, which replaced the old Lockhart Stadium. The team will continue practicing there but will move its competitive games to Miami Freedom Park.
