With gambling approval denied in Tallahassee, Genting Group scales back its design to initially use just a fraction of the bayside resort site.

This time around Genting seems to be taking a go-slow approach. The company has been quietly discussing its new plans with select city leaders and distributing only a three-paragraph press release with limited specifics.
The new proposal would take up only a fraction of Genting’s 30 acres in the Omni neighborhood.
Genting’s development plans, as they exist now, call for demolishing the Herald building and removing what has for decades been a barrier to public access of the waterfront. The idea is to create a gathering place where people can stroll or dine overlooking Biscayne Bay. Plans call for a waterfront promenade 50 feet wide that spans 800 feet. The design will also maintain 100-foot corridors on either side of the development with landscaped green space to allow a view of Biscayne Bay.

Was looking forward to it, but we'll see what the new plan looks like.
