Miami Mayor Inspiring Residents to Dream Big

Miami Mayor Inspiring Residents to Dream Big

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez promoted the idea of a convention center in downtown Miami during his annual “State of the County” address where he stated that we need to dream big. In that spirit, Gimenez endorsed a downtown convention center, saying the presence of the Miami Beach Convention Center should not be a deterrent according to the Miami Herald reported. Gimenez has long pushed for renovating the Beach convention center, and he said Wednesday he would continue to do so. However, he added, “There’s also room for more than one convention and conference center in Miami-Dade County.

MDM Group is planning to build a tower with 500,000 square feet of convention space within the Miami World Center mixed-use development site. The multi-block Miami Worldcenter project includes a Marriott convention complex to be built at the site of the old Miami Arena, with 1,800 rooms and enough exhibition space to fill about one of the Miami Beach Convention Center’s four halls.After the speech, Gimenez noted he is not pushing for public funding for a downtown convention center.

The Miami World Center is one of the largest urban renewal projects in the United States and qualifies to be a renowned World-class destination by all standards. The Miami World Center is a nine block mixed-use development immediately north of the Central Business District in downtown Miami. It is defined by NE 2nd Avenue to the east, North Miami Avenue to the west, NE 11th Street to the north, and NE 6th Street to the south. Spanning over twenty-five acres, the Miami World Center includes a dynamic mix of retail, residential, office, and institutional uses. It will create a vibrant, walkable pedestrian environment with a unique sense of place: a modern design statement driven by Miami’s unique physical context, culture, and architectural heritage.

The mayor also reiterated his support for several different projects like a light rail system connecting the mainland to Miami Beach and Beckham’s new soccer stadium.  Though Gimenez did not go into the status of the talks, he argued that Beckham chose Miami because of its potential. Someday, Miami might host the Pan-American Games — or even the Olympics, the mayor suggested inspiring many more Miami residents to dream big.
