Benefits of Locating Within the Miami DDA Boundaries
The Miami DDA district brings together everything that makes our state, region and city exceptional - it elevates it with dedicated cleaning and safety teams, strong advocacy, placemaking initiatives, regular business networkers & global-scale events, a love of urban progress, and direct governmental representation. Our mission is to enhance the attractiveness, desirability and value of our district while ensuring that residents and businesses have every opportunity to thrive. We are committed to the long-term social, economic, and environmental resilience of Downtown Miami.
Downtown Miami has grown its population faster than any other U.S. downtown over the past few years. We are proud, energized and unsurprised to see our hard work reflected in this momentum. Our board of directors - composed of local elected officials, business owners and residents - volunteer their time to ensure that we are serving the district's residents, businesses, visitors, and investors at the highest level.
Connectivity is one of our greatest strengths. Miami International Airport is less than seven miles away and PortMiami borders our district and welcomes over 8.5 million cruise passengers per year, and our regional train hub - Metrorail, Metromover, Tri-Rail & Brightline - sits within the district. The breathtaking Biscayne Bay and the Miami River are part of our district, and the beach is only six miles away - visible from many of our office towers.
Downtown Miami offers the city's newest housing stock, its highest levels of educational attainment, and a concentration of top companies supported by a robust business services ecosystem. We are home to a number of modern museums, the championship-winning Miami HEAT, and the largest and most diverse college system in the country. Our dining and nightlife are world-renowned, and our hotels are countless in number and quality. Every amenity is walkable, accessible by frequent and direct public transit - including two FREE modes - or reachable via our efficient road network.
While many people around the world know Miami for its beaches and weather, locals know that our district's energy is just as compelling. What the world considers a vacation, we consider everyday life - and we are open for business. This unmatched urban experience is the Downtown Miami way.
