QUALITY OF PLACE

ECONOMIC CLUSTER

INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM

The Magic City innovation district was born out of the idea of creating a space that is dense, connected, walkable so that it foments the open culture of innovation. Its goal is to bring together a large diversity of companies, individuals and organizations that work within related industries and find ways to increase face-to-face encounters and increase opportunities for the collision of ideas.

Magic City will establish a series of mixed use commercial, residential, and entertainment complexes that apply advanced models of social and environmental design, with a spotlight on local business and community networks.

Being nestled in a neighborhood surrounded by impressive foliage will nurture creativity versus being located in the city center.

Magic City aims to create an economic cluster for related industries. Innovators will benefit from the proximity of related industries as they will be able to collaborate in common problem-solving initiatives. The District is also committed to attracting a diversity of support organizations including business incubators, accelerators, coworking spaces and anchor institutions.

Miami’s startup ecosystem is still at its infancy compared to more established tech cities. Currently Miami’s startups are segregated in different areas of the tri-county area. Magic City will serve as a platform for emerging companies to build a concentration of assets within the four missionary pillars of the project.

Ultimately the industry clustering will allow companies and individuals to have a support network that will position them to better tackle problems on a global scale. The adaptability and flexibility of the district will also allow for it to host trade fairs, conferences and increase the possibility of visibility of the common initiatives.

Based on the Kauffman foundation 2017’s Annual Index report, Miami is the metropolitan area with the highest concentration of startup activity.

Magic city is looking to create a space for emerging industries to converge under one same roof, thus creating an innovation ecosystem never seen before in South Florida. The Magic City Innovation District is looking to support a diversity of people and to connect nearby communities to its growth.
