The Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/southflorida\/news\/2020\/09\/11\/county-committee-to-vote-on-miami-wilds-proposal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last reviewed<\/a>the 27.5-acre development in mid-September, and the county commission on Friday will consider awarding a $13.5 million grant through the county&#8217;s Economic Development Fund.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx meterwall__content\">According to the agenda item for the county commission&#8217;s special meeting, developers would need to invest at least $99 million into Miami Wilds. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/southflorida\/news\/2020\/11\/09\/southflorida\/search\/results?q=Paul%20Lambert\">Paul Lambert<\/a>, a co-owner and developer of the project, said it&#8217;s expected to generate 1,500 construction and development jobs, as well as just over 600 recurring jobs after it is completed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx meterwall__content\">An agreement between the developer and the county dictates that the project would include the following components:<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx meterwall__content\">\u2022 <strong>Hotel<\/strong>: The Miami Wilds hotel must have at least 200 hotel rooms and suites, and must be at least three stories tall. It must also include a guests-only pool and a dedicated drop-off and valet area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx meterwall__content\">\u2022 <strong>Water park: <\/strong>The water park attraction would include a minimum of seven water slides and three kids&#8217; attractions. The park must also have a lazy river occupying 20,000 square feet and a 40,000-square-foot wave pool. There must also be a food service and\/or seating area that can accommodate up to 350 guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx meterwall__content\">\u2022 <strong>Retail and restaurants: <\/strong>The retail and dining portion of Miami Wilds would be between 15,000 and 25,000 square feet, and the building or buildings could be up to two stories tall. A minimum of five retailers or restaurants must be included. Retailers are not allowed to sell Zoo Miami-branded merchandise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx meterwall__content\">Miami Wilds is to be constructed on land that currently includes the surface parking lot for Zoo Miami. The size of the project was scaled down to ease environmental concerns, according to the agenda item.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx meterwall__content\">Lambert said the ownership group believes it will break ground on Miami Wilds in about 18 months.
