River Landing Shops and Residences

A Reset by the Miami River.

River Landing reimagines a once-overlooked stretch along the Miami River as a vibrant hub for modern urban life.

The project strikes a balance between movement and rest, work and leisure, for residents, professionals, and shoppers alike.

We designed every element with that harmony in mind to create residences that feel like personal retreats, offices that inspire, and public areas that bring people together.

Redesigning River Landing

BC Architects stepped into the project after the initial concept was in place. We were tasked with turning a bold vision into a fully realized destination.

River Landing called for careful navigation through a complex build and input from a wide range of stakeholders. So, we set out to shape a dynamic, walkable environment, and fill a long-standing gap in the city’s commercial market.

Elevating Riverside Living

We looked to the river itself to guide our design choices and material palette. Green-tinted glass reflects the shifting tones of the water. A stone-clad retail base anchors the development, while decorative metal screens dapple the garage in light and shadow.

At the heart of the site, a multi-level, open-air atrium invites daylight, movement, and greenery into the space. It acts as a central hub for River Landing, connecting retail, office, and residential uses.

Above it all, the pool deck offers residents a refreshing change of pace from the bustle of the urban lifestyle with stunning panoramic views over the city.

Throughout the design, we prioritized sustainability with LEED Silver-certified materials, regionally sourced stone, and a stormwater system that protects the Miami River and surrounding ecosystem.

An Enduring Landmark

Years after completion, River Landing remains a popular spot among residents, visitors, and boaters alike. Morning joggers dot the promenade, workers chat at café tables, and weekends come alive with riverfront brunches and retail bustle.

As our largest and most visible project to date, this project was a defining opportunity to elevate the original vision and deliver a space that draws people in, even years after opening.

We’re proud to have proved ourselves as the last and most suitable architect the client needed to bring this ambitious project to life.

The success of River Landing reinforced our belief: when
design works in harmony with place and purpose, it leaves
a lasting mark on the city.
