From a former municipal golf course to a booming, sports-anchored mixed-use district, Miami Freedom Park is redefining urban development in South Florida!

Spanning 131 acres near Miami International Airport, this massive project goes far beyond Nu Stadium (home to Inter Miami CF). It’s evolving into a true year-round destination featuring:
🏢 ~1 million sq. ft. of Class A office space (including One Heron, slated for 2028)
🛍️ Experiential retail, entertainment, and dining (featuring concepts like PopStroke and Toroverde)
🏨 Multiple hotels & modern civic spaces
🌳 A massive 58-acre public green space (Jorge Mas Canosa Park) complete with a 1-mile wellness loop and sports facilities

With incredible connectivity to transit and the continued global momentum of our city, projects like this showcase why Miami’s real estate market remains one of the most dynamic and innovative in the country.
