Dadeland Village

There are so many new construction sites in South Miami, around the Dadeland area it's hard to know which is which. Huge buildings appear as by the flick of a magic wand. The new condos are so huge it's impossible to take photos of them unless you are in a helicopter. But this is what I came up with, a shot from under the metro rail. The two new condos are to the right, and the rightmost is the Toscano Condos. If I have a chance, I will ride the metro rail to have a few better shots. That will be for another day.

Is this on or near the highway to Homestead? I went to Homestead to the NASCAR races last November, so I'm curious.

This is near the last station of the metro rail in South Dade. The buildings hidden by the rails are the Marriott hotel and the Datran center. This is the view taken between the Wachovia bank and the Datran center, looking South. The neighborhood is Dadeland Mall, about 35 miles North of Homestead.

Nice shot. There's alot of construction in PA too. Never can seem to get away from it.

Great dramatic shot, with the tracks as a "frame" of sorts for the condos in the background.

I stand back with amazement at the growth around our metro train stations, from North Miami to Kendall. The two stations in Coral Gables are not as fast in building due to there zoning laws. Your Dadeland station is the best of the group.

I like this picture. It's intriguing in a way. And hey, you have a Contaainer Store? I can spend hours in that store!!

Yes, this is a very large Container Store on Kendall Drive across Dadeland Mall.
