The international infrastructure group has been tapped to build River Landing Shops and Residences, a 2 million-square-foot property that will sprout up along the Miami River in the city\u2019s Health District. H&amp;R REIT, Urbanx Co. and Matthews Southwest are the developers behind the mixed-use project.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis transformational development in the heart of Miami builds on Balfour Beatty\u2019s historical and growing relationship with Matthews Southwest as we expand on our presence in the South Florida market,\u201d<\/em> Leo Quinn, Balfour Beatty group chief executive, said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>River Landing has been in the works for a few years, and H&amp;R gave the project a major push forward in January 2017, when the REIT shelled out $34 million on the acquisition of a mortgage receivable secured against the eight-plus acres on which the mixed-use development will be erected. Designed by ADD Inc., River Landing will consist of two residential buildings encompassing 475 rental apartments and a five-story, 426,000-square-foot retail center. There will also be 2,200 parking spaces and green space at the site. Construction on the project should commence towards the end of the year.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>THE CONTRACTS JUST KEEP COMING<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The U.S. division of London-based Balfour Beatty is keeping quite busy. Current assignments include the $230 million Harrison Medical Center in Seattle; a $150 million contract for an airport hotel in Atlanta; and a $100 million contract for the 500,000-square-foot renovation and expansion of Cleburne High School in the Dallas\/Fort Worth area. However, the Sunshine State remains high on the company\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019re concentrating on Florida,\u201d<\/em> Quinn said during Balfour Beatty\u2019s half-year 2017 results presentation on August 16. <em>\u201cWe\u2019ve recently upgraded the leadership in Florida and in Georgia; we\u2019ve combined our Georgia operations with our Charlotte operations so we\u2019ve got strong leadership in there; Washington DC is strong.
