The world's economic rules are changing. What's at stake for Miami? | Opinion

At a moment of significant geopolitical and economic realignment, the question facing investors, business leaders and policymakers is no longer simply where capital will flow, but what conditions will allow it to succeed. Shifting trade relationships, geopolitical tensions, technological advances and growing energy demands are reshaping the global investment landscape. Financial returns remain essential, but so do political stability, reliable infrastructure, access to energy, skilled talent and international partnerships. For 15 years, the International Economic Forum of the Americas has chosen Miami as a meeting place for conversations about the forces shaping the global economy. 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

Ken Griffin wants to join Coral Gables' exclusive country club. The price? $2M

Miami billionaire Ken Griffin may soon add another exclusive South Florida institution to his portfolio: Coral Gables’ Riviera Country Club, where a newly created membership category carries a $2 million price tag. The founder and CEO of Citadel is among a select group of 10 people nominated for the new memberships, which offer full golf privileges, but more importantly, allow members to bypass the club’s long waiting list, The Real Deal first reported , citing people familiar with the membership push. The club’s board is expected to vote on the nominations later this month, the publication said. The new membership category, created in October, is non-voting, meaning members receive full golf privileges but do not have voting rights at the club. For regular members, an existing golf membership costs $175,000. The Riviera Country Club at 1155 Blue Rd., Coral Gables’ most prestigious, is among the private institutions attracting the newly arrived ultra-wealthy — though wealth alone does not guarantee admission. The country club’s decision to offer a limited number of $2 million memberships shows how some clubs are accommodating the demand and capitalizing on the influx of ultrawealthy newcomers willing to pay a premium for exclusive access.

Miami-Dade's elections department paid for a cartoon mascot. It's the supervisor

Alina Garcia, Miami-Dade’s elections supervisor , now has a cartoon avatar who stars in a tax-funded coloring book about democracy and, this fall, looked out from lapel pins that were distributed to poll workers. Like Garcia, “Super Ali” has long blonde hair, but Super Ali has a red cape and a star-spangled ballot box for a body. That cartoon ballot box has a seal with Garcia’s name on it. “These are great tools for engagement with our youngest citizens, to create a voting culture,” Elections spokesperson Juan Mendieta said of the Super Ali swag the Elections Department is funding. In August, the Elections Department paid $1,160 for 1,000 of the Super Ali pins. The next month, the department paid $1,560 for 1,500 “Guardians of Democracy” coloring books, which have Garcia’s name and Super Ali on the cover. Mendieta provided invoices for the purchases at the Miami Herald’s request this week. Inside the coloring book, there are voters, candidates and ballot boxes to color, plus a crossword and word search that both have “Alina Garcia” as clues. Garcia, a Republican, is Miami-Dade’s first elected supervisor of elections — a post that used to be a department head under the county’s mayor.

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
