Congratulations to the two local Philadelphia teams from the University of Pennsylvania who received honorable mentions for the submissions to the ULI Hines Student Competition. In total, seven Philadelphia teams submitted.

This year’s competition asked students for creative ideas for an area in midtown Miami, split between the Wynwood and Edgewater neighborhoods. Participants evaluated the potential to create a thriving, mixed-use, neighborhood around a commuter train station along the Florida East Coast Railway. The brief asked students to address housing affordability, sustainability, and resilience in their proposals. The competition, which began January 13, simulates an actual design, planning, and development scenario, and reflects Miami’s vision to reduce congestion and become more resilient by encouraging walkable neighborhoods around transit nodes. The four teams now advance to the final round of the competition in April, where they will compete for a $50,000 prize.
