Miami Ironside is a vibrant, multidisciplinary urban center situated in Miami's historic Upper Eastside's neighborhood. Established in 2008 by developer and designer Ofer Mizrahi, it encompasses over 65 showrooms, studios, and coworking spaces. The district is home to a diverse group of architects, interior designers, material and furniture designers, boutique retailers, creative services, and art galleries. Miami Ironside offers a unique, green environment punctuated with rainbow eucalyptus trees and outdoor paths linking glass storefronts accented by public plazas serviced by cafes, boutique retailers, and showrooms.
Ofer Mizrahi, an active leader in Miami's development for over 20 years, envisioned Miami Ironside as a European-style village complex. His previous projects include revitalizing areas in the Miami Design District and Wynwood. With Miami Ironside, Mizrahi aimed to create an enclave that caters to the community and cultural shifts in art, architecture, and design trends.
The complex integrates lush greenery, creating a park-like enclave that exemplifies sustainable practices. The Ironside Arboretum houses the region's largest private collection of Rainbow Eucalyptus trees, complemented by Poincianas, Live Oaks, and Coconut Palms. Perimeter landscaping features Climbing Jasmine, Creeping Fig, and colorful Bougainvillea, fostering a self-sustaining natural habitat for bees and butterflies.
Miami Ironside is home to 65 designer showrooms, [1] art galleries, architecture firms, creative services, and a public piazza with permanent Berlin Wall sculptures painted by street artist Thierry Noir. [2] [3] Twice a year, Ironside hosts a Campus Collective, a community event.
