In an effort to boost business conference bookings at Fontainebleau Miami Beach, Jeffrey Soffer’s firm has begun construction on a new five-story event center on a former surface parking lot adjacent to his iconic oceanfront resort. It was designed by Coral Gables firm Nichols Architects.
The 50,000-square-foot building at 4360 and 4370 Collins Avenue will connect to the historic hotel’s Tresor Tower via a new sky bridge, and have an underground garage that will include employee parking, Fontainebleau Development President Bret Mufson said via email.
The growing number of financial services firms, hedge funds and tech companies moving or expanding to the Miami area offers an opportunity for Fontainebleau Miami Beach to ramp up the resort’s business conference offerings and compete with other major resorts in South Florida that attract corporate events, Mufson said.
