A pre-application has been initiated for an administrative site plan review with the Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources for 700 North Miami Avenue, the site of the cancelled Marriot Marquis Miami Worldcenter and the former location of the Miami Arena (demolished in 2008). The application lists WG 700 North Miami LLC, an entity owned and managed by New York City-based Witkoff Group, as the owner of the application, and reveals Miami-based Kobi Karp Architects is leading the design for the project.

Plans for the 4.7-acre (1.9-hectare) site consists of two mixed-use high-rise buildings with up to 2,195 residential units, 540,000 square feet (50,167 square meters) of office space, and 49,999 square feet (4,645 square meters) of retail space. Witkoff, along with Chicago-based Monroe Capital, acquired the property for US$94 million from MDM Group in July of 2021.

The site for the proposed development is located within the 27-acre (10.9-hectare) Miami Worldcenter master-planned complex on the southwest quadrant of the intersection between North Miami Avenue and Northwest 8th Street, bound by Northwest 1st Avenue on the west.
