With its deep connections to the United States, Latin America and beyond, Miami offers a setting for international leaders to exchange perspectives, explore shared challenges and identify opportunities. Long recognized as a gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean, Miami has evolved into an international destination for finance, real estate, technology, hospitality and major global events, including Formula 1 and the FIFA World Cup. Its growing relationships with investors from the Middle East and other markets reflect the international nature of its economy. But attracting capital and international attention is only part of the equation. The greater challenge is translating that momentum into sustained economic

Brickell church land is set to become a high-rise. Goodbye to another open space | Opinion
Brickell residents are losing their battle to stop church land along Biscayne Bay from becoming a 75-story high-rise. Yes, they chose to live in Miami’s busiest corridor, where condo and business towers have created the city’s modern signature skyline. But the push for development over preservation risks hurting what makes Miami so attractive to so many people. The 619 Brickell By Nobu, a luxury condo building, is slated to rise behind First Miami Presbyterian Church at 609 Brickell Ave., now that one of the last hurdles to the project has been lifted. The city’s historic preservation board voted 6-1 on Nov. 3 to lift a historic designation from the church’s annexed school and parking lot, where the tower will be built. The board also voted to shrink the site’s historic boundary to just the church and a 15-foot buffer, the Herald reported. The area overlooking the bay behind the church has been used over the years by residents and food trucks. It has also been a welcome bit of open space along the waterfront. The $240 million sale of the land to developers would certainly help a church that has had money issues, but it has rocked First Miami’s congregation
