Last week a developer, a one Andrew Hellinger, submitted plans to the city for a two tower, $150 million megaproject on the site of the old Mahi Shrine building, the home of those fez-wearing shriners, wedged between the Health District and the Miami River that - get this - will be geared towards actual middle class people. Yes Virginia, Miami could actually get a megaproject that isn't full of luxury shopping, valet parking, pet concierges, and that sort of thing. The two-towered project is planned to have 440 residential units, a building of vertically stacked big box stores, and a lushly planted river walk.
