About two dozen leaders of Miami’s major businesses are forming a nonprofit to tackle some of the city’s growing pains after a population boom, and they are using lessons from around the globe to help shape South Florida’s future.
Miami has become one of the nation’s least affordable housing markets and use of public transit is down significantly, two challenges the new Partnership for Miami group plans to address.
Partnership for Miami’s members include well-established locals such as Jon Paul Pérez, president of Related Group and one of South Florida’s most active developers; Ana-Marie Codina Barlick, CEO of the family-owned Codina Partners and the developer behind downtown Doral; and Jose Mas, the CEO of multinational engineering and construction company MasTec. The group also includes some of Miami’s more recent arrivals like billionaire Ken Griffin, the founder and CEO of hedge fund Citadel, and Orlando Bravo, founder of private equity firm Thoma Bravo.
