A City of Opportunity

With its unique architectural beauty, outstanding quality of life and flourishing economy, Coral Gables is not only an exceptional place to live, but also to work. Several corporate businesses such as American Airlines, Bacardi, and Fresh Del Monte Produce have chosen to make Coral Gables home for their corporate headquarters because of the city’s central location and premium office market.

As mentioned in the “Coral Gables - Primed for Business” pamphlet, Coral Gables has 10.8 million square-feet of office space and 91.1 percent occupancy rate. Being the No. 1 Chamber in South Florida, we are committed to making our community a focal point for business, while continuing to serve our residents, employees and visitors. As the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce Chairman, I have built my business on the excellent opportunities offered by numerous businesses in Coral Gables, and I firmly believe that a person need not leave the city limits to create a thriving business.

During these difficult times, the Chamber has been navigating and adapting to all of the changes brought on by COVID-19, by providing timely programming in a smart and safe way. The Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce is committed to pursuing a diverse and comprehensive board, membership and community, starting from within. Through the Chamber’s policies and implementation, we continue to support these values and hope to further develop diversity and inclusion within the Coral Gables community.

The City Beautiful is more beautiful with you in it!
