Greetings from The City Beautiful

Together with the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, the City of Coral Gables is proud to celebrate our 95th anniversary this year. Since our founding in 1925, we have shared deep bonds and common goals. When George Merrick established the city as one of the first planned communities in the United States, he understood the important role trade and commerce played in the life of a community. So, he not only created the Chamber but developed a business district as part of his master plan.

Today, businesses continue to be key to our success. We are proud to be the home of multinational corporations as well as to corporate regional headquarters. We have a strong and growing professional and entrepreneurial class and look forward to continuing to grow this sector.

In partnership with the Chamber, the city is committed to assisting companies and entrepreneurs looking to start, relocate or expand their presence. So, if you are looking for an ideal location and a business-friendly environment in South Florida, Coral Gables is the perfect choice. We are located within

15-minutes to both Miami International Airport and PortMiami, our area’s largest economic engines, and are the home to top-ranked University of Miami and Northwestern University’s prestigious Kellogg School of Business Executive MBA program.

With more than 40-miles of waterfront access and parks located within an easy walk of any location in the city, our quality of life is unmatched. We have a plethora of excellent schools, a great inventory of residences and multi-family dwellings, availability of Class A office space, and a vibrant arts and entertainment community. Most importantly, you will have access to a highly skilled workforce.

For these and many other reasons, I encourage you to work with the Chamber and our Economic Development Department when considering a new business location. Please know that the City of Coral Gables is committed to working in partnership with you.

Sincerely,

Raúl Valdés-Fauli Mayor
