Event Host
Wynwood Plaza
Wynwood Plaza is creating a new destination to live, work and play at the nexus of Miami’s Wynwood, Midtown, Design District and Edgewater neighborhoods. Developed by L&L Holding Company, Oak Row Equities, Shorenstein Properties and Claure Group, this expansive one-million-square-foot mixed-use campus is set to deliver luxury rental residences, an array of indoor and outdoor dining and shopping options, as well as a highly-amenitized office tower.
At the core of Wynwood Plaza is a lushly landscaped public plaza with a lively paseo that winds through a series of sculptures, art installations, native trees and other plantings. The thoughtfully designed, airy outdoor space will be surrounded by a dynamic mix of restaurants, lifestyle boutiques, curated storefronts, convenience locations and fast-casual dining spots — creating a vibrant hub for residents, workers and visitors alike.

Why Attend the Wynwood to Edgewater: Development Forum
Why This Matters: Miami’s Wynwood and Edgewater districts represent two of the most dynamic urban redevelopment stories in the United States. What was once an industrial wasteland and low-rise waterfront neighborhood has evolved into a thriving urban center blending luxury, culture, and innovation. For developers, investors, and city planners, the transformation of these neighborhoods offers crucial lessons about balancing cultural preservation with growth, integrating sustainability into luxury development, and managing gentrification while fostering economic opportunity.
Wynwood is a cultural epicenter, known for its street art and creative industries, but the area is at a crossroads as developers seek to build commercial and residential projects. Meanwhile, Edgewater’s appeal as a luxury waterfront destination is growing, attracting global investors and transforming its skyline. Understanding the forces shaping these neighborhoods provides valuable insight into the future of Miami’s urban core and its ripple effects on the broader real estate market.
What You Will Learn:
- Wynwood’s Creative Economy: As Wynwood transforms, the area continues to attract a mix of cultural, tech, and entrepreneurial ventures. The Wynwood Business Improvement District reports that Wynwood has over 400 active businesses, with tech startups and co-working spaces on the rise, fostering innovation alongside its creative roots . Understanding how this intersection of art and commerce can drive growth while maintaining artistic integrity will be crucial for stakeholders.
- Edgewater’s Real Estate Boom: Edgewater’s high-end developments are significantly impacting Miami’s real estate landscape. Luxury high-rises have set new standards for condo prices in the area, with prices at $1,200 per square foot or higher. Additionally, Edgewater’s population has been rapidly growing, making it a prime area for investment while also raising questions about affordability and infrastructure.
- Investment Trends: Miami remains a global hotspot for real estate investment. Foreign buyers, particularly from Latin America and Europe, accounted for a larger percentage of all property purchases in the region. Wynwood and Edgewater have benefited from this influx, with foreign capital driving both residential and commercial developments. Hear how these capital flows are shaping the future of Miami’s urban core.
- Sustainability and Resilience: With Edgewater’s coastal location, developers must navigate rising concerns about climate change. Edgewater, given its waterfront location, is particularly vulnerable to flooding, storm surges, and rising sea levels, which directly impacts new developments. Developers are increasingly adopting climate-resilient designs, incorporating green technology and flood mitigation strategies to meet both investor expectations and environmental regulations.
- Mixed-Use Development Growth: Wynwood and Edgewater are leading Miami’s shift towards integrated urban development. Mixed-use projects are now the norm, blending residential, retail, and office spaces in a way that promotes walkability and reduces car dependency. Understanding how these developments can drive both economic growth and urban vibrancy will be key for attendees.
