Welcome to Downtown Miami

Find a new rhythm in Downtown Miami and explore the skyscrapers that continue to multiply. Anchored off the aquatics of Biscayne Bay, this up and coming neighborhood, while located in the epicenter of South Florida’s business district, is a pantheon of rising new modern developments offering exclusive commercial and residential spaces. Bounded by NE 6th Street to the North, Biscayne Bay to the East and the Miami River to the West, the Central Business District (CBD) of Miami (known to natives as Downtown Miami) is a mecca for post millennium monochromatic towers that newly replaced the formerly faded city center.


Breaking ground on its first residential property in 2005 with One Miami, this once colorful and 1980s centric hub was transformed into a revamped metropolis where business executives, young professionals and families could live, work and play next to unobstructed views of the Miami skyline. Since then, signature residential options have been added such as One Thousand Museum Residences and Okan Tower. Most recently, a 30-acre mixed use “city within a city” development arose featuring a 58-story luxury residential property, high end open-air shopping district, dining and entertainment promenade and the Marriott Marquis World Convention Center Hotel. Named Miami WorldCenter, this state-of-the-art development is the second largest in the United States, behind New York’s Hudson Yards.

 

Experiencing not only an architectural but cultural renaissance, Downtown Miami was further brought to life with contemporary museums like Perez Art Museum, Mana Contemporary Miami, Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and HistoryMiami. This resurgence of creative hotspots signaled the opening for new-concept eateries and live music venues to peak interest in the area. Haute Cuisine restaurants like Zuma, Novikov and Il Gabbiano are amongst the most popular with locals. Craft cocktail bars and neighborhood speakeasies that serve everything from mocktails to wine aperitifs include Lost Boy, The Wharf, Area 31 and Bloom Skybar. Downtown Miami is located near award winning public and private schools. Key Point Academy, New World School of The Arts and Design and Architecture Senior High School are positioned minutes away. A short walk to Virgin MiamiCentral and brief drive to Port of Miami and Miami International Airport, Downtown Miami is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in South Florida due to its central location and pedestrian friendly streets.

 
 
 

Architecturally Significant Buildings

A historic neighborhood at its core, Downtown Miami is one of Southeast Florida’s oldest neighborhoods with early pioneer settlement dating back to the 19th century. Presently witnessing a real estate renaissance, Downtown Miami still displays a patchwork of significant buildings, each representing a rich architectural legacy. The Miami News Freedom Tower, located on 600 Biscayne Boulevard and home to Miami Dade College’s Musuem of Art and Design, provides for a cultural and educational landmark that honors the past while engaging an active audience from across the world.

Designed by Shultze and Weaver and built after the great medieval cathedral in Seville, Spain, this iconic structure once housed the city’s first newspaper and federally run Cuban Refugee Emergency Center, coined the “Ellis Island of the South” by the U.S. Department of Interior. Surrounding the Miami News Freedom Tower are a profusion of historic properties that share a similar neo-classical design style. Some structures resemble the Mediterranean Revival aesthetic, preserving a unique nexus to the past. Must visit architectural marvels include Central Baptist Church, United States Post Office and Federal Court House, The Old Federal Building and Alfred I. Dupont Building.
