Coral Gables offers a different feel from Brickell's towers or Wynwood's warehouses — Mediterranean Revival architecture, tree-lined streets, and a strong concentration of international business, particularly companies with Latin American operations.
Many consulates and multinational regional headquarters are based here, drawn by the neighborhood's reputation and proximity to the University of Miami. Office buildings tend to be lower-rise than Brickell, with a mix of historic renovated properties and newer mid-rise construction.
Retail along Miracle Mile and Giralda Plaza supports a walkable, dining-driven ground floor, distinct from Brickell's banking-focused retail or Wynwood's gallery scene.
