The principals of MDM Group were selected for the prestigious award in recognition of their transformative projects, which are the source of a high volume of investment and job creation, and help shape what today are some of Miami-Dade’s most recognizable neighborhoods.

Founded in 1990, MDM Group began with the acquisition of the Miami Marriott Dadeland, along with the subsequent acquisition of the Datran I and II office complexes that same year. The development of the Courtyard by Marriott Dadeland in 2004 further stimulated the transformation of the Dadeland area, and MDM became a key catalyst towards the evolution of Dadeland into a vibrant business, retail and hospitality center.

In 1998, MDM Group embarked on the visionary development of the JW Marriott Hotel Miami (the first luxury-branded hotel on Brickell Avenue) and Barclay’s Financial Center, a mixed-use center in the heart of the Brickell financial district. This project was also a catalyst, serving as the key factor in the overall development of the Brickell corridor.

Subsequent to that project, MDM pioneered the development of mixed-use communities within the downtown Miami central business district, with the unprecedented $1 billion Metropolitan Miami project. Metropolitan Miami helped usher in a new, sophisticated identity for downtown Miami, beginning with the opening of the Met 1 condominium project in 2008; the completion of Met 2, which includes the JW Marriott Marquis Miami and Hotel Beaux Arts, along with Wells Fargo Center, both completed in 2010; and the recently-opened Whole Foods Market as part of Met 3. The last phase will be the soon-to-be under-development Met Square component, the crowning phase of Metropolitan Miami, which will feature a luxury high-end movie theatre, restaurants, retail outlets and residences.

MDM’s latest project will help transform another area of Downtown Miami, with the development of the Marriott Marquis World Convention Center, an 1,800-room hotel and 600,000-square-foot convention facility on the site of the old Miami Arena, and adjacent to the Miami Worldcenter and All Aboard Florida projects.
