The city of North Miami has undergone a major revitalization in recent years. Downtown North Miami has emerged as a dynamic cultural and entertainment center, fast becoming known as the NoMi Arts District.

The catalyst for the revitalization was the opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), a 22,000 square foot building designed by internationally-renowned architect Charles Gwathmey which many say "enriches the dialogue between art and architecture."

North Miami is also a major center of education with two major four-year universities: Florida International University (FIU) and Johnson & Wales University (JWU). FIU opened its Biscayne Bay Campus in 1972. Since then the campus has grown to house many departments, including the School of Nursing, School of Journalism and Mass Communication and JWU, an internationally-acclaimed culinary and food services management school.

One of North Miami's most innovative and growth-inducing projects will be the 193-acre Biscayne Landing development. In addition to the 5,000 high-rise luxury condos, it will have a 100,000 square foot town center with restaurants, dining and other retail establishments. A four-star hotel will be built to accommodate visitors coming to the city for business and leisure.

Add to that the establishment of a Community Redevelopment Agency to capitalize on the tax increment to be generated by the Biscayne Landing development and to provide resources for the redevelopment of city neighborhoods and additional city services to local residents. It is estimated that Biscayne Landing alone will contribute over $13 million in tax revenues per year to the city.
