University Of Miami Plans New Cancer Center Tower

UM Cancer Tower 760x320

The University of Miami submitted plans for a new cancer research tower at its medical campus in Miami.

The Coral Gables-based university submitted a municipal pre-application to Miami-Dade County officials so they can review the site plan before it heads to the city. The new facility would total 222,000 square feet in 11 stories.

It would be located on the 1.78-acre site at 1420 N.W. Ninth Ave., which currently has the 22,879-square-foot UM Neurological Research Building and another UM medical office of 22,483 square feet. Both of them would be demolished to make way for this project.

The new UM cancer center would have 167,000 square feet for cancer research and 55,000 square feet for clinical trials, plus a roof deck. There would be no parking garage, but the site would have about 43 surface parking spaces and UM owns several parking garages at its medical campus.
