Quirky Developer Looks To Add Retail Component To Miami's Condo Boom
Developer Mark Siffin, who some believe to have a troubled past, is planning to build Citisquare Center, a two block commercial center, to compliment Miami's downtown highrise condo boom.
"Armed with one simple notion, plus the hundreds of millions of dollars his backers can deliver, Mark Siffin aims to alter downtown Miami's future -- if his own complicated past doesn't get in the way.
His notion: Downtown Miami has plenty of new condos. What it needs now is a sprawling, $370 million urban mall where the condo people can shop.
Situated, happily, steps from the front door of the new Miami Performing Arts Center, Siffin's Citisquare would be the centerpiece of a big new development on one of the biggest undeveloped tracts in downtown Miami, a critical piece of the district's revitalization."
