The Underline recently received $75,000 in donations that will be used toward the first phase of the transformative project, “Brickell Backyard,” which is the underutilized section beneath the Metrorail from the Miami River to Southwest 15th Road.

The Brickell Backyard will include such amenities as a dog park, an outdoor gym with a basketball court, a play area, climbing wall and picnic areas.

The $75,000 donation was a contribution by the Pinnacle Housing Group, who donated $50,000 and 13th Floor Investments with The Adler Group who contributed $25,000. Pinnacle is excited to support this project, according to Louis Wolfson, Partner at Pinnacle Housing Group, who said that The Underline “incorporates safe biking trails, educational, play and fitness areas, environmentally-green initiatives, art in public places as well as economic and real estate benefits which will result along this revolutionary 10-mile linear park corridor.”

About The Underline

The vision of The Underline is to positively transform approximately 10 miles of underutilized land beneath the Miami Metrorail, from the Miami River in Greater Downtown Miami to Dadeland South Station in South Miami, into an iconic linear park, first-class urban trail and living art cultural destination. The Underline will connect neighborhoods, improve bicycle and pedestrian safety, encourage a healthy lifestyle by providing easily accessible areas to exercise, restore over a hundred acres of open space and provide a 10-mile linear canvas for artistic expression along busy US1. The innovative Underline, which is a private/public project, will have an overall incredible impact on further transforming Miami’s urban core into a transit/pedestrian-friendly city.
