Strategic Analysis | Q4 2024
Miami has transformed into the Americas' gateway for remote executives, positioning itself as the bridge between US business and Latin American markets. The city's tech ecosystem has exploded post-2020, with significant VC migration from SF/NYC. Brickell, Wynwood, and Miami Beach anchor distinct professional and lifestyle zones. Zero state income tax matches Austin's advantage.
Infrastructure reflects international hub status: gigabit fiber available 90%+ in core areas, coworking scene includes WeWork, Pipeline (local tech hub), and 50+ options. Zero visa considerations for US citizens, with exceptional LatAm flight connectivity for regional business. Direct flights to every major US city plus extensive international network.
Key consideration: Hurricane season (June-November) requires awareness and preparation. Cost of living has increased significantly post-pandemic, particularly in waterfront areas. Our recommendation: prioritize Brickell for professional density or Wynwood for creative tech scene. Consider hurricane insurance and building construction quality when selecting long-term housing.
