Wynwood’s Tech And Finance Boom Sparks Development Blitz

From coast to coast, formerly industrial areas are being transitioned into white hot urban enclaves. None, however, are as sizzling as Miami’s Wynwood, a neighborhood north of downtown Miami and Overton, and bordering Edgewater.

A destination for Puerto Rican immigrants beginning in the 1950s, Wynwood went from being known as “Little San Juan” to a mecca for 21^st Century investment starting about two decades ago. More recently, the ‘hood has morphed from a haven for creatives to a home for big-name technology and financial firms from California and the Northeast. In the wake of the relocation of Founders Fund to Wynwood, the district has welcomed household name corporations Spotify, PwC and Live Nation.
