PROJECT APPROACH
We have a vested interest in this neighborhood as we have purchased over 33 properties in this part of downtown in the
last year and a half. We see this site as the gateway to Downtown Miami from the north. It is critical that we create a state
of the art project to act as a catalyst to elevate the neighborhood. Our proposed design includes outdoor space for the
use of the community and neighboring schools and institutions. We are passionate about this site and want to partner
with the MPA to jointly develop one fantastic project instead of two separate buildings.
CONCEPTUAL PROJECT SUMMARY
We envision a modern mixed-use facility that complements and elevates the architectural urban fabric of the surrounding
area. The following outlines the nine major elements included in our proposal for a Public/Private Partnership with the
Miami Parking Authority for the combined Parcel B and the Property:
Element 1: Hotel 1 An approximately 75,000 SF, 160 key (room) hotel (likely to be a select-service hotel) with
a liner garage on the lower oors;
Element 2: Hotel 2 A Luxury Hotel of approximately 150,000 SF and approximately 160 keys (rooms) including
common areas such as a restaurant located at the top of the building;
Element 3: WeWork: Approximately three (3) oors and approximately 90,000 SF of coworking space for
WeWork, a strategic partner and tenant of Mana;
Element 4: WeLive: Approximately 100,000 SF with an average of approximately 350 square feet per unit for
a total of 228 WeLive lifestyle apartment units targeted to the Millennial generation;
Element 7: Approximately 460 parking spaces to be combined with MPAs existing parking garage;
Element 8: An approximately 5,000 SF Open Plaza along the northernmost portion of Parcel B, planned with
the goal of preserving the open space and park available for local students and residents to relax, gather and
meet; and
Element 9: Utilization of the roof of the existing parking structure for organic gardens, a green roof and potential
outdoor space for WeWork, WeLive and other tenants.
The planning and architectural rm of Zyscovich Architects has prepared conceptual drawings that illustrate the proposed
elements of the Public/Private Partnership for the Re-development of Parcel B and our Property, combined as a joint
Miami Parking Authority RFP for Prospective
Public/Private Partnership for Redevelopment of Parcel B

MANA MIAMI
Ultimately Moishe Mana and his collective entities are committed to real estate development that fosters creative culture,
not only of the arts, but also of innovative businesses that push the evolution of society. The current developments
under his direction span across markets and industries, and have proven to impact the communities in which they are
located. Whether its creating a space that functions as a hub for the arts across disciplines, or rehabbing neighborhoods
into creative communities for mixed use purposes, Moishe Manas vision for the development of emerging locations is
unparalleled. Our goal in pursuing the acquisition of additional properties in the Miami Metro area fall in line with our
ultimate shared vision of transforming Miami into a hub for creative culture, innovation, and business opportunity for
the Americas.
PRIMARY COMPANIES
MANA MIAMI
Moishe Mana is a visionary entrepreneur who has created many different businesses. As a committed real estate developer,
Moishe is known to have never ipped a property. In 1983, Moishes Movings inception started out with one man in a
single van and grew from there. By 1990, it had become the largest independent moving
company in New York City. By 1995, they were the largest in the entire tri-state area.
Today, they operate from regional offices across the nation and worldwide (Brazil, China,
Columbia, and Peru) with hundreds of employees. Moishes red trucks are ubiquitous
and iconic in NYC and a part of the social fabric of the city and have been featured in
both stage and lm production.
Moishes Moving is an New York institution with Moishe Mana owning a conglomerate
of 150 companies. Over time, Manas interests grew to develop creative communities
that cater to artists, and the people supporting their work. Manas rst effort in this
direction was to spearhead the development of NYCs Meatpacking District in 1995,
where he opened Milk Studios. Today it is the leading intersection of fashion, media
and technology. It serves the fashion industry in NYC and the movie business in LA.
Moishe is also the third largest player in the information management space with GRM, a company he started at the turn
of the millennium. Additionally, Moishe is involved in several major neighborhood changing real estate development
projects. These are located in Jersey City, New Jersey, Wynwood Arts District and Downtown Miami, Florida and in
Chicago, Illinois, with an estimated 15 million SF.
In 2010, Moishe Mana purchased several properties in the warehouse district of Jersey City where the Mana Contemporary
Art Complex now has its headquarters, artist residencies, galleries, and work studios. In addition to this, Mana Contemporary
has grown into a state of the art storage facility for premier art foundations, such as the Guggenheim, MoMa, New
Museum, and several notable galleries and private collections and has developed into one of the largest arts complexes
in the United States. This is a 1,500,000 SF complex of buildings
on 25 acres of land. The lead building in the complex is the 450,000
SF Mana Contemporary Space. Housed in this building is ne
art storage from both collectors and museums, wine storage and
couture designer dress storage. Additionally, there are over 100
working artists studios in the building. The Armitage Dance
Company, the famous Art School of Firenze (Florence ,Italy), and
ICP, the International School of Photography are also located in the
building. The world renowned architect Richard Meier has located
his legacy library here. This is truly a one of the kind building in
the world where art students, working artists and collectors and
museums are all housed under one roof.
In Miami, Florida there is a special part of town known as Wynwood.
Moishe saw a promising opportunity here and is now one of the
largest landowners in Wynwood. In an attempt to develop urban
environments into creative communities, Moishe founded Mana
Wynwood, a company devoted to the development of the Wynwood
Art District of Miami. This thriving artist enclave bears resemblance
to the Meat Packing District in NYC and is now ready to become
a creative mecca for the Americas. Mana Wynwood encompasses
over 40 acres with buildings that constitute about 40% of Wynwood.

Master planned to become a new city center for the municipality of Doral in western
Miami-Dade County, the project includes 29 different building types to be built in several
phases. Phase 1 is now complete and includes site infrastructure, roadways, and a 12-story
office building with a six-level parking podium lined with ground oor retail. The interior
spaces were designed with dramatic simplicity achieved through a minimalist design that
fuses lofty proportions with elegant materials.
The commercial parcels will house a variety of tenantsmostly food and beverage and
specialty boutiquesand will generally front the main entrance to the site. This will also be
the main access to the retail area. In the center of the retail area, an elliptical circulation is
the main focus of the commercial piece. This area also functions as a pedestrian plaza to
be used for special events such as art festivals and farmers markets. The residential areas,
which will have their own gated access, have designated green park spaces in between
buildings, as well as a pedestrian circulation belt that connects all of the blocks. A large
park is planned as a central focus that will consist of pedestrian paths and landscaped areas
that will connect various recreation buildings, housing multi-purpose/community rooms,
restrooms, and a gym. The three mid-rise residential buildings will be 11-14 stories and will
include parking structures that will be screened from view by liner units along the street
and along the main park area. As part of the recreational component, the top deck of these
parking structures will house amenities such as pools & landscaping for the use of residents.

MANA MIAMI
THE FLAMINGO
Miami Beach, FL
Today South Beachs signature rental resort, Flamingo was originally a 1960s retirement
complex comprising two Y-shaped, 15-story towers with decrepit swimming pools, acres
of surface parking, no landscaping, and no amenities. Despite its proximity to downtown
Miami, the South Beach club and cultural scene, and the ocean, this expansive 16-acre
waterfront sitethe largest privately held waterfront location on Miami Beachfailed to
appeal to the growing population of young singles, professionals, families and seasonal
residents.
The Zyscovich redesign and market repositioning plan capitalized on the aesthetic and
urban power of the location and demonstrates that there are many different ways of creating
a massive residential property that are not only acceptable, but desirable. The original
surface parking lot, located along the 1/4 square mile of waterfront, was transformed into a
nearly two-acre botanical park adjoined by a baywalk, boat slips and water sports facilities.
Zyscovich renovated the 580-unit (1,160 units total) residential towers for retirees into an
urban 21st Century full-service resort for renters. The project also included the addition
of: a 461-unit, 32-story tower; 26 townhouses; 28 garden apartments; a seven-story, 2,032car garage; 10,000 SF of retail space; and a 4,000 SF state-of-the-art gym overlooking
the water. The rm conceived a resort-like manner of living by providing amenities that
include a business center, dry-cleaning drop-off, green grocer, magazine seller, cyber cafe,
gathering areas wired for laptops, a 24-hour doorman and concierge service.

The interiors of the existing towers were gutted and transformed by a complete renovation
which included increasing the average unit size and adding new nishes, carpeting, ceiling,
windows, doors, appliances and air conditioning. The bathrooms were installed with new
tubs, and each kitchen with new kitchen cabinets and appliances including a combination
washer/dryer. Above the 20th oor in the new tower, all kitchens and foyers are outtted
with wood ooring, stainless steel appliances, wood cabinets, and granite counters. The
main lobby is designed as a modern gallery of geometric shapes and rich materials. Against
starkly white walls and white terrazzo oors, architectural elements appear as freestanding
art objects. Furniture and art combine reds, yellows, and oranges. The gray carpeting of
the corridors is patterned with ellipses in three different shades of orange, which mirror
the form of the main tower. Where once not even a newsstand could be found, today art,
culture, and recreation are live-in amenities for all tenants, regardless of their economic
position on the rental scale.

The rm used additional design components, unprecedented for this market, to distinguish
the property and position it as a resort property. These components included a tanning
lawn, a coffee bar, a hair salon, a 6,000 SF bay front tness center, a state-of-the art media
room with adjacent dining room and Italian-style kitchen, and various pools, each with a
distinct family, lounging or play atmosphere.
Visioning
The design also incorporated elements that assisted the client in successfully leasing the
property. The integration of new sophisticated design components into both the leasing
process and the living experience set a new standard for rental apartment living and
positioned the client as the leading provider of resort-style rental living.

Analysis
Elevating the railroad tracks 50 feet into the air along the dense, linear site in the core of
downtown Miami will allow traffic to ow freely underneath. The elevated tracks will also
create room for two layers of valuable, glass-encased retail space at the street level, where
pedestrians pass by. Lightweight perforated panels will lie intermediately in the open webs
of the traversing V-shaped exoskeleton that enclose the railroad tracks and will allow for
glimpses of the moving train. The entire project will feel industrial, yet will be transparent
and airy.
Programming
The scope of work includes the support services necessary for the operation and safety
of the high-speed rail system, including boarding platforms, stairs, elevators, escalators,
walkways, waiting areas, ticket and information booths, luggage handling areas, restrooms,
utility rooms, station advertising displays, concessions, restaurants, lounges and other
service-related businesses that will be open to passengers and nearby residents. Included
the long-term master plan are parking structures and rental car facilities, bikeways, pocket
parks, community gardens, playgrounds, power substations, and other uses necessary
for the operation, maintenance, and future growth of the All Aboard Florida intermodal
transit-oriented development.
