Miami Science Museum receives $10 million from Knight Foundation for new building in downtown Miami
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has committed a challenge grant of $10 million to the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science (Miami Science Museum). The support will foster science education and help strengthen Miami's rapidly emerging downtown cultural center.
Knight Foundation’s grant must be matched with an additional $20 million in funding, a requirement meant to encourage additional community support.

Brickell City Centre
Brickell City Centre is a $1.05 billion shopping and mixed-use project that will, when finished, span four blocks to the west of Brickell Avenue and to the south of the Miami River, in downtown Miami, Florida.
The project is being developed by Swire Properties Inc (the US subsidiary of Swire Properties Ltd), and will span 9 acres,including a department store, luxury shops, restaurants, hotel, office towers and condominiums.The hotel flag was awarded to EAST, a Swire Hotels brand, which will be their first venture in North America. Currently there are EAST hotels in Hong Kong and Beijing, China. In February 2013, Swire Properties and the owners of Bal Harbour Shops announced that they had come to an agreement to co-develop the retail portion of the development.

Miami Rail Station To Rise This Year
Florida East Coast Industries’ All Aboard Florida railway station in Miami will be built on land historically owned by the company in Downtown.
"The land was the original site of the old Miami Grand Central Station from the days of Flagler," said Michael Reininger, president and chief development officer for All Aboard Florida.
The station site, just under 10 acres, is currently a series of surfaced parking lots that are to be redeveloped as part of the terminal station for Downtown Miami.
"Ten acres is a pretty significant area of Downtown," Mr. Reininger said.
"The station that we are building goes across several blocks of the Downtown area and really becomes the completion of that neighborhood redevelopment."
The project is still at the design stages of the station and no other locations are planned to open in Miami, Mr. Reininger said.
"We hope to break ground probably late this year," he added.
"We’ll turn that neighborhood into a very connected urban village, and we’ll become a very significant intermodal kind of facility that will link our infrastructure and transportation uses with many of the other existing transportation uses, like the Metrorail and Metromover station, which exist adjacent to the station," he said.
Fares are not determined at the moment, Mr. Reininger said, but he said they will be "highly competitive" compared with other transportation alternatives.
"We are certainly developing this new business as a competitive business and we know that we’ll be competing with other modes of transportation that are available, like air travel and cars."
Miami Today previously reported that the project is to provide convenient and cost-effective travel by connecting South and Central Florida through a 230-mile route of combined existing and new railroad tracks, and will also offer travelers "an escape to highway congestion and costly delays" by offering 13 to 16 daily departures from each of the two terminuses — Orlando and Miami.
Each train is to have the capacity to carry 400 passengers.
The privately-owned intercity rail system’s amenities and services are to include WiFi internet service, gourmet meals, beverage service, comfortable seating, luggage accommodations, reserved business and coach service seating, and online reservations.

The PortMiami Tunnel
The PortMiami Tunnel project is a highly complex project which is being built through a public-private partnership (PPP or P3) that includes the design, build, finance, operation and maintenance of said project. It is a 35-year concession agreement between the Florida Department of Transportation (Owner) and MAT Concessionaire, LLC (Concessionaire), which includes 55 months for design and construction being carried out by Bouygues Civil Works Florida (BCWF).
Nearly 16,000 vehicles travel to and from the PortMiami (POM) through downtown streets each weekday. Truck traffic makes up 28% (or 4,480) of this number (Source: 2009 PB Americas Traffic Study). Existing truck and bus routes restrict the port’s ability to grow, drive up costs for port users and present safety hazards. They also congest and limit redevelopment of the northern portion of Miami’s Central Business District.

The share of U.S. homes purchased by international buyers is on the rise
The share of U.S. homes purchased by international buyers is on the rise.
As HousingWire reported on Tuesday, international buyers spent nearly $100 billion on properties and investments from April 2013 to March 2014.
The $99.2 billion that international buyers pumped into the market in from April 2013 to March 2014 represents a substantial increase from the previous 2012-2013 level of $68.2 billion, according to the National Association of Realtors.
According to the NAR report, Canada maintained the largest share of purchases, dropping from 23% in 2013 to 19% in 2014; however, China held the lead in dollar volume, purchasing an estimated $22 billion with an average sale cost of $590,826.
China was also the fastest growing source of transactions, now accounting for 16% of all purchases, up 4% from last year. Domestically the Chinese are facing their own property meltdown, one that could help push real estate investors into new markets.
For those so inclined, Forbes provided a slideshow list to the most popular real estate markets by country for Chinese investors.
Of note in that data is the increase of Chinese buyers from 2013 to 2014. Paul Diggle, property economist at Capital Economics, suggests that the increase in Chinese buyers could be a harbinger of things to come.
“This bigger picture hides a rapid rise in purchases by Chinese investors, who may overtake Canadians as the largest group of foreign buyers of US housing within the next five years,” Diggle said.
Diggle expands on the increase in the share of Chinese buyers over the last few years in his U.S. Housing Market Update. “The upshot is that the share of foreign homebuyers who are Chinese increased to 16% in 2014, up from 12% in 2013 and just 5% back in 2009,” Diggle said.
“Put another way, the value of homes bought by Chinese buyers in the US has increased from $1.2 billion to $7.5 billion, or slightly more than 500%, over five years.”
Despite the tremendous growth of Chinese buyers, the share of international buyers still only represent 3.8% of the total property sales in the U.S., according to Diggle. That’s up from 3.2% in 2013, but it’s below the 4.4% share in 2012 and the high of 4.6% in 2010.
“Looking ahead, tightening monetary policy will support the dollar and ensure overall foreign demand remains a relatively small part of the housing recovery,” Diggle said.
“But that will disguise the growing presence of Chinese buyers, who will outweigh Canadians as the largest source of foreign demand within five years should the trends of the past five years continue,” Diggle added.
“The strength of Chinese demand is another reason to watch closely developments in the Californian housing market, where housing is now no better than fairly valued at the statewide level and starting to look frothy in a number of metros.”
