New DACRA Master Plan Renderings for Miami's Design District

Plummer street is a pedestrian friendly walk way connecting the Oak Plaza, shopping areas and new parking. The beautiful huge trees at Oak Plaza have been preserved.

Above the Celine store on the roof, Dacra will have a roof top garden, available for events. The expansion plans also include plenty of more trees throughout the district to provide more shade on sidewalks.

Design District eateries includes Michael's Genuine, Sra. Maritnez (which is closing), Harry's Pizza, Egg and Dart, Orange Cafe, Parchment cafe, Frateli. Night venues include The Stage and Gavana. More to come...

Among the current stores and soon-to-be in the Design District include: Christian Louboutin, Fendi Casa, LVMH brands opening in this summer Louis Vuitton, Cartier, and Celine, Hermes opening a 3 story locale, Dior and we hear a Barney's Co-op, but not confirmed.

Buckminster Fuller’s Fly’s Eye Dome, owned by Craig Robins, will be surrounded by a palm garden and will be the entrance/exit to underground parking garage.
