Virginia Key is located midway from mainland
City of Miami and the Village of Key Biscayne
and is accessible via the Rickenbacker Causeway.
The City of Miami and Miami-Dade County are
seeking to implement a master planning process
that studies Virginia Key in its entirety. It is
the Master Plan’s intent to develop meaningful
waterfront and public open space areas, offer
policies for the use, development and management
of land, the protection and enhancement of
natural resources while providing the necessary
infrastructure and traffic flow to serve future
development within the Marine Stadium Basin
properties on the island.
The City’s population growth, coupled with
current urban development trends and demands for
waterfront access and recreation has created the
need for a comprehensive master plan study. The
proposed Virginia Key Master Plan will emphasize
the opportunities for mixed-use waterfront
development along the Marine Stadium Basin
properties, integrate and recommend improvements
to the existing Sewage Treatment Plant,
integrate and preserve the historic Virginia Key
Beach Park, as well as make recommendations for
future island wide improvements and protection
of remaining public beaches, parks and
conservation areas.
The planning and landscape architectural firm
EDSA was chosen through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process
to develop a Master Plan that represents a
unified vision for Virginia Key.
