Kengo Kuma Associates has shared the announcement of a new mixed-use project in the Miami Design District. 

The MIRAI Design District is a $1 billion development to be realized at 65,000 square feet with 16,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and another 40,000 square feet of high-end offices located above.

The development's marketing arm describes the spaces as "each in meticulously curated, modular bays for luxury brands and trophy offices," designed to "allow each brand its own identity." 

From there, a "series of micro-experiences" will define the concept, which is located at the intersection of Northeast 42nd Street and 2nd Avenue. The building's two main transparent mesh facades are angled to create a mix of shadows and greet users from different angles, while the shops underneath are serviced by a wooden soffit pedestrian walkway. 

The design district was also recently announced as the location for last year’s Pritzker Prize winner David Chipperfield’s next American project, another mixed-use development with retail and a hotel component that was announced in December. Heatherwick Studio is also working on its own Gaudí-inspired shopping center in Midtown. 

The MIRAI Design District will represent Kuma's first-ever mixed-use project in the United States once construction is completed in 2025.
