The $452 million River Landing Shops & Residences on the Miami River has embarked on phased opening starting with retailers despite the coronavirus pandemic’s hard hit on shopping foot traffic.

The 8.14-acre project visible north of the Dolphin Expressway has 345,000 square feet of retail and other commercial space, 135,000 square feet of office space, 528 market-rate apartments and more than 2,000 parking spaces along a 25-foot wide riverwalk.
