At Blackbook Properties, we are passionate about our city’s growth and love to stay on top of what’s happening next in Miami, so we can keep you updated on future Downtown Miami developments. This time, we visited the Miami DDA (Downtown Development Authority) for an exclusive interview with our friend and CEO Christina Crespi to gain insights on all the behind-the-scenes action that’s making Downtown Miami the most thrilling live-work-play-invest destination of the future. Grab a coffee or tea and listen to what she had to say to our very own Sep Niakan, Miami realtor and founding broker of Blackbook Properties!
You’ll discover in our new video interview how the Miami DDA—Miami Downtown Development Authority—was initially focused solely on this core neighborhood’s economic development. However, in recent years, it has evolved into a community development authority that aims to create a great quality of life for its residents and maintain a positive business environment. Plus here an insider’s view on the latest and most exciting developments planned for Downtown Miami (including the best of Downtown Miami pre construction).
To materialize its vision of creating a world-class, inclusive, and safe city, Miami DDA leads a variety of public-private investment initiatives that will help build a more resilient and sustainable Downtown Miami, by:
- Improving and expanding the city’s infrastructure with additions such as the Signature Bridge that will help ease traffic bottlenecks around Downtown Miami or the eco-friendly Freebee fleet that makes car-free travel a breeze.
- Directing urban planning initiatives for the new Downtown Miami such as the 2025 Downtown Miami Master Plan that will heighten the arts and culture experience in Downtown along with enhancing Miami’s position as the business epicenter of the Americas.
- Attracting new businesses and supporting local businesses with various grants and incentives.
- Implementing a range of eco-friendly projects, such as The Underdeck, and making Miami’s waterways feasible for public transportation.
