Miami Worldcenter connects with the Brightline higher-speed rail system's MiamiCentral station, and is adjacent to the Overtown Metrorail station. Additionally, the Freedom Tower Metromover station located on the east side of the property was renovated in 2021 and 2022, similar to the redeveloped Eighth Street station at Brickell City Centre in Brickell.

Taubman announced that it would not be developing an enclosed regional mall as demand moved away from enclosed malls. Instead the plans were changed to reflect an open-air development better suited for Miami's sunny weather.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/real-estate-news/article60675676.html | title=New renderings of redesigned Miami Worldcenter show open-air shopping district | first=NICHOLAS | last=NEHAMAS | work=Miami Herald | date=November 25, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/downtown-miami/article210715459.html | title=Take a peek inside construction at Miami's biggest development project.
