Yet the $800 million project will have to meet certain criteria and would include additional investment partners before the investment moves forward, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/southflorida\/news\/2013\/02\/13\/stephen-ross-might-invest-in-miamis.html?iana=ind_cre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>Business Journal<\/em><\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Previously announced development plans state that Island Gardens will feature an ultra-luxury Shangri-La Hotel; a Residences Island Gardens-Miami, managed and serviced by Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts; a lifestyle hotel; 60 cutting edge and high-end retail boutiques; 18 waterfront restaurants, caf\u00e9s and nightlife venues; world-class dining; a unique waterfront promenade; a fish market; leisure gardens; and a maritime gallery created in conjunction with the Historical Museum of Southern Florida.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Plans also call for a distinctive marina exclusively designed for mega-yachts.

The project architect is Spillis Candela DMJM, one of the oldest and largest professional design firms in the southeastern United States.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Island Gardens was first approved by the city commission on July 8, 2004 and went before the county <a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2013\/02\/04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-102899\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2013\/02\/04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" \/><\/a>commission in September 2004 on the marina aspect of the proposal. Yet construction stalled, and developer Mehmet Bayraktar faced several lawsuits and financial problems.
