Downtown Dadeland is an urban residential and retail development in Dadeland, Kendall, Florida, USA. Dadeland is an edge city in Kendall, which is part of unincorporated Miami-Dade County. Downtown Dadeland was completed in 2005, during a South Florida real estate boom. Notably, the 7.5-acre (3.0-hectare) development contains 15 acres (6.1 hectares) of parking on two underground levels, unprecedented in South Florida, which averages under 10 feet (3.0 m) of elevation AMSL. Since then, some other projects have pursued more than one sub-grade level, including Brickell City Centre in the Brickell district of Downtown Miami. Underground development in the Miami area is complicated and expensive, due to the high water table (low elevation). A project on Fort Lauderdale beach planned three levels of underground parking, but revised plans down to a single level mechanical parking garage. The mixed-use development is adjacent to Dadeland South station, the southern terminus of the Metrorail system, which saw significant ridership increases in the 21st century after many transit-oriented developments such as Dadeland were completed. Underground parking, including -1.5 and greater depths, began to become more common in the 2010s, pressured by building codes, aesthetics, and economics.

The race track was built by Bill Dwyer, a prohibition era bootlegger, and Frank Bruen with backing from Canadian distilling tycoon, Samuel Bronfman. It opened on December 26, 1931, and closed January 15, 1972. The track hosted meets for both for Thoroughbred and Standardbred horses. Tropical Park introduced the first synthetic racetrack surface for horse racing in the 1966-67 season. Known as "Tartan Turf, " it was a rubberized surface manufactured by the 3M company. Built inside the regular dirt track, one race per day was contested on the Tartan track but for safety reasons the majority of horse trainers and owners refused to run their horses on the track. Saul Silberman bought Tropical Park in 1953 after president Henry L. Straus died in a plane crash. A major gambler from Cleveland, Ohio, Silberman was a former majority shareholder of the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League who had also owned Randall Park Race Track in North Randall, Ohio and the Painesville Raceway in Northfield, Ohio. When Silberman died in 1971, new owner William L. McKnight made his intentions known. He wanted to close the track and have all of the racing dates switched to the new Calder Race Course, of which he was a principal investor. Tropical Park was closed after the 1972 racing season. In 1979, the Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation service converted the facility into a public park they named Tropical Park. [1] The park offers a number of sports activities including Tropical Park Stadium used for track and field athletics. The old racetrack's stables were used as part of the park's equestrian center.

Town Center One is a high-rise building located in Dadeland, an urban area in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida. Constructed from 2007 to 2009, it contains class A commercial office space and was built near the end of the United States housing bubble of the 2000s. The building reaches a height of about 295 feet (90 m), making it one of the taller buildings in Dadeland. The building stands out for its dark green glass curtain wall façade. This was the result of a design change; as the name implies, the building was intended to be the first of several buildings in a mixed-use development. Due to poor market conditions and a regional overbuilding of office space, the building sat largely vacant until several years after completion. In 2011, the majority of units went into foreclosure when a construction loan could not be repaid, which led to the restructuring of the building's finances in 2012 by its anchor tenant, BMI Companies.
