The Miami Design District is located in what was initially a pineapple farm. Over the years, the district became a center for furniture design, but by the mid-1980's as the retail landscape changed, the district went into disrepair. A joint venture between several developers and design firms transformed the once-gritty Miami neighborhood into a glamorous international luxury shopping destination. The site encompasses a four-block pedestrian promenade anchored by two department stores, with rooftop gardens and mature shade trees lining the streets.
