Known today as Metropolis Dadeland, the amenity-rich twin residential towers were among the first of their kind in the Kendall Drive area of Miami. Previous development in decades past focused on garden-style apartments, townhomes, and mid-rise complexes, all in gated communities. Metropolis was different, with a vertical design that introduced views, an amenity not prevalent in the existing market. The collection of 1- and 2-bedroom lofts, 1- and 2-bedroom condominium units, and luxurious penthouses offered views of the Miami skyline, downtown Coral Gables, and Biscayne Bay.
