Business Development

The Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) directly supports our local district by attracting new businesses and supporting the retention and growth of existing businesses. The DDA is working diligently for a brighter future for the district by attracting new and expanded investment to the downtown area.

Business Development specifically focuses on the recruitment of new-to-market businesses, the growth of our existing business ecosystem, and bolstering our talent base. The agency places a high amount of emphasis on the technology and finance sectors. The services provided to ownership groups, and their representatives, assist them both before and after their arrival. These efforts include incentives packages, research assistance, joint presentations, permitting assistance, talent recruitment, introductions to key stakeholders, exposure, and more. Beyond this highly personalized approach, we also leverage more traditional methods. We collect and analyze relevant market research, economic trends, and downtown‐related news and policies.

Please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help; we are here for you.
