BRICKELL AV Downtown Miami is not only the central business district for South Florida, Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami – it has emerged as the ﬁ nancial and business capital of the Americas. As the largest employment center in the State, Downtown Miami is truly the heart of business, commerce and culture in the region. A vibrant, livable Downtown is critical to promoting the vitality and health of the entire region. With that in mind, we all have a vested interest in realizing its vision as the EPICENTER of the Americas.

Building on dozens of studies, economic and land use analyses, and project proposals, the DDA’s Master Plan provides a necessary foundation to achieve this long-term vision.

Our 2025 Master Plan is an action plan with concepts and ideas setting the pace for projects attached to a doable timeline. A number of quality of life projects are already underway in the district, with some of them expected to be completed before the end of 2010. Steps are also being taken to lay the groundwork for a number of large-scale, long-term projects. Below you will ﬁ nd an overview of the Plan’s goals and action items.
