Construction for the station began October 2014 with the demolition of existing structures on the site. The complex consists of an elevated concourse above an 800-foot-long (240 m), 35-foot-wide (11 m) island platform for the trains. The station is a modern style structure with illuminated V-shaped columns supporting the upper concourse, echoing the designs of the Miami and West Palm Beach stations on the line.[2] It was planned and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in association with Zyscovich Architects,[3] and was completed in January 2018.[1]
