The lively city of Miami is about to shake things up. The Miami Downtown Development Authority recently approved the 2025 Downtown Miami Master Plan, designed to transform the area into the "Epicenter of the Americas." Plans include the development of its convention center, facilitating waterway and road transport, and assimilating its waterfront into burgeoning districts, according to the South Florida Business Journal. Among the other main goals of the district are to leverage the city’s beautiful and iconic tropical waterfront; elevate downtown’s grand boulevards to prominence; and create great streets and community spaces throughout the district.
The Miami Convention Center was last updated in 1989. Though it opened as the nation's fourth-largest center in the 1950s, it is now the 28th largest. According to Miami Today, a recent convention center study has suggested that expanded exhibit space, a ballroom, 25,000 square feet of new meeting space, an alternative outdoor rooftop venue, and another convention center hotel be added to the center.
