A COMMITMENT TO INFRASTRUCTURE

Miami International Airport For the seventh consecutive year, Miami International Airport (MIA) broke its all-time record for number of passengers with 44.6 million travelers. Notably, MIA is the 2nd busiest airport in the country for international passenger arrivals, behind JFK. MIA also leads all U.S. airports in international air freight at over 2.2 million tons of cargo in 2016 (over 85% represents international cargo). PortMiami The Port of Miami is the world’s leading port for cruise line passenger traffic (5.6M passengers annually) and the top container port in Florida. Five major projects that total more than $2 billion were recently completed: the Port of Miami Deep Dredge Project, the Port of Miami Tunnel, the addition of four Super Post Panamax cranes, bulkhead strengthening and the restoration of the bridge and rail line connecting the PortMiami to the mainland. I-395 Bridge & Park The I-395 Signature Bridge & Park development project is underway and in the process of completely reconstructing the existing interstate with a new signature bridge that will span 1,025 feet over NE 2 Avenue and State Road 5/Biscayne Boulevard. This bridge will redefine the Miami skyline with its iconic six sweeping arches. The project will include a 55-acre linear park underneath as well as additional ingress and egress access at N Miami Avenue - giving Midtown Five residents quicker highway access to southern and western cities of Miami-Dade. The project is set to complete in 2024. MiamiCentral MiamiCentral, the main hub for Brightline Trains, is also the central node for three other public transportation systems - Metrorail, Metromover, and Tri-Rail. The intersection of these four systems provides excellent connectivity and convenience for the tri-county South Florida region to Downtown Miami. Metromover Metromover is a free mass transit automated people mover train system that opened in 1986. The Metromover serves most of the Greater Downtown Miami neighborhoods. The Metromover connects directly with Metrorail, Tri-Rail, and Virgin Trains at MiamiCentral. Currently, the system is composed of three loops and 21 stations. The stations are located approximately two blocks away from each other, and connect near all major buildings and places in the downtown area. The city is currently in the early stages of planning to expand the Metromover line northward into Wynwood and Midtown.

Brightline seeks $350M to build five stations in Miami-Dade, including Design District, relatively close to the Property
