For many years, Miami Beach officials and its business community have engaged the community in a discussion about the future of the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) and, in particular, how to keep Miami Beach a vibrant convention destination in the competitive North American market.
By now, most residents know that the MBCC is set to have a massive $500 million renovation and expansion, which will "set a high standard of excellence and redefine meeting and entertainment solutions when hosting large-scale business, trade, civic and cultural events," according to the City of Miami Beach. Miami Beach’s professional design team consisting of nationally recognized Fentress Architects, the local design firm of Arquitectonica, and international landscape architects West 8, have designed a project that will "position itself among the top globally significant convention centers in the world."
