Here’s a first look at the Miami Beach Convention Center

Curious to see the $620 million transformation of the Miami Beach Convention Center? Almost at the end of the works, the team at Fentress Architects, Arquitectonica, and West 8 released new images and renderings of the project with its iconic wavy exterior and lit reception.

Made from 500 aluminum “fins” to mimic the waves, the project boasts a 500,000-square-foot exhibit hall, combined 127,000 square feet of meeting space and four ballrooms.

The outer part is almost complete; now it is necessary to work in the adjacent park. The space has been used as a staging during nearly three years of construction.

Works must finish in time for Art Basel Miami Beach in December.
