Miami is one of the most beautiful, diverse, vibrant cities in the world with the most gorgeous beaches and unparalleled tropical weather. As Miami’s multicultural population continues to grow and the tourism continues to break records, Miami is transforming from a purely beach destination into an increasingly sophisticated, chic metropolis.  The combination of natural geographic beauty and the increasing economic strength and geographic convenience is the foundation of Miami’s realization in its place on the world stage.

Miami is the perfect location for international business and has the potential to be arguably the best city in the world with all of the positive changes and transformation in the near future.  With the financial district of Brickell to the city’s vibrant blend of languages and cultures giving rise to a world-class arts scene, and a well-deserved, first-class reputation for fine dining and exhilarating cuisine to the luxury living and sophisticated lifestyle, the “Magic City” is soon to be the most desirable place in the world.

Some of the major factors into the confident transformation of Miami into a viable and prosperous metropolis are briefly explained below, although this is far from an inclusive list.

BRICKELL CITY CENTRE

Brickell City Centre, currently under construction, will be the hottest, multi-dimensional landmark in South Florida.  Strategically and conveniently located in the center of the Brickell financial district on South Miami Avenue between 8th Street and 6th Street, Brickell City Centre will not only be an upscale place to shop, but it will be a place to live and work in ultimate luxury, a vibrant destination to visit and a comforting place to relax and be therapeutically rejuvenated.  Brickell City Centre will feature the one-of-a-kind, highly-sophisticated Climate Ribbon ™, a never-before-seen environmental management system spanning 150,000 square feet.

MIAMI WORLDCENTER

Miami Worldcenter is the newest inspired urban mixed-use development in Downtown Miami, which is certain to revamp Downtown Miami with its 765,000 square feet of first-class retail space, modern, ultra-luxury condo residences and the region’s largest convention hotel, Marriott Marquis World Convention Center Hotel, which will offer 1,800 modern hotel rooms and over 600,000 square feet of convention and business space with ample parking.  Miami Worldcenter will span approximately 30 acres in Downtown Miami and will be a 10-block site located directly north of the Central Business District, extending between 2nd and Miami Avenues to 6th and 11th Streets.

RESIDENTIAL CONDO TOWER BOOM

Most people are shocked by the amount of residential condo towers being built in Miami-Dade County, with a high concentration in the Downtown Miami and Brickell area.  To date, approximately 173 new condo towers consisting of approximately 27,656 condo units are projected to be built in Miami-Dade County, with over 61 condo towers just in the Downtown Miami area.  But, face it, with all of the influx of people wanting to invest or have 2^nd, 3^rd or 4^th homes in Miami, the demand for these Miami condos is there.

MIAMI ARTS DISTRICT

The growth and beatification of the Miami Arts District is unreal. From the conveniently located shops and restaurants at Midtown Miami to the fabulous, ultra-chic Wynwood restaurants, art galleries and open-air street art, the Miami Arts District is being modernized daily.

MUSEUM PARK

Museum Park, was opened to the public on June 14, 2014 in the heart of Downtown Miami beside the American Airlines Arena and consists of 19 acres of beautifully landscaped green space, the Perez Art Museum Miami, Frost Museum of Science, a public plaza, a stunning baywalk and a sandy “beach” near the water’s edge.  Surrounded by towering, shaded oak trees, Museum Park is a beautiful place to relax or take a walk with expansive, breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay.

Port of Miami Tunnel

Port of Miami Tunnel opened on August 4, 2014 and is a complete blessing to Miami.  The Port of Miami Tunnel provides cargo trucks direct access between the major highways, I-395 and I-95, and the seaport, discontinuing the use of the Downtown Miami streets, providing safer streets in Downtown Miami and the surrounding areas along with less street congestion.  The Port of Miami Tunnel is certain to improve the traffic flow in Downtown Miami and all surrounding areas.

GREENLINK PROJECT

GreenLink Project, later to be renamed, will completely transform the land beneath the Metrorail from the Brickell Metrorail Station all the way to Dadeland South Station into a continuous, 10-mile pathway used for walking, biking and exercise and a linear park.  This 10-mile linear park would be the largest ever linear park!
