$615 million investment to renovate and expand Miami Beach Convention Center
Once home to Muhammad Ali boxing matches, the NFL Super Bowl Media Headquarters, NAACP National Conferences and both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, and today home to Art Basel Miami Beach, the Miami Beach Convention Center is being reimagined as a state-of-the-art LEED certified facility with more than 500,000 square feet of exhibit space, a 60,000 square foot mixed use ballroom and 81 new break-out rooms spanning 190,000 square feet. The $615 million investment has already contributed to notable meeting bookings including the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), International Association of Chiefs of Police and The Premier Association of Financial Professionals (MDRT). The new MBCC is expected to bring an additional $100 million per year to the destination’s economic impact. In addition to the renovated and expanded facility, the GMCVB is fully supportive of the proposed headquarter hotel. The adjacent hotel build-out will provide the destination with an 800-room, Art Deco inspired hotel. The future hotel, developed by Portman Property Group, will provide meeting planners and future convention organizers with an easily accessible hotel directly linked, lobby to lobby, to the renovated MBCC via Sky Bridge.
