History of Wynwood
Once known as a decrepit business district, Wynwood has developed into one of Miami’s most vibrant community. This neighborhood has seen an increasing number of attention and investments since the early 2000s with Tony Goldman playing a significant role in its advancement. In 2005, Midtown Miami development projects started. This included the North 29th and 36th street and Miami Avenue and the Florida East Coast Railway expanding the scope of the area. This project brought renewed attention to this region.
Today, Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood is the world’s largest open-air museum dotted with restaurants, dance venues, breweries, artwork, clothing shops, and many other retail options.
