American media personality and socialite, Kim Kardashian may be making the move to Miami along with other celebrities who are leaving the west coast. With announcements of her recent filing for divorce from rapper Kayne West; Life & Style Magazine have revealed that Kim K. is “checking out Miami real estate – and Miami men.”
Her claim to fame came when she first debuted on television as the personal stylist and friend to Paris Hilton. Over the years, she has created brands KKW Beauty, KKW Fragrance, and SKIMS; as well as starring in a hit reality tv show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ that just ended its’ final season. Sources have said that Kim K. wants to restart her life and has referenced Miami being her target.
Florida is known for its less strict COVID guidelines, no state income tax, and lower cost of living; it should be of no surprise that a large number of celebrities are leaving the west coast and moving to South Florida.
Other celebrities that have made their way to Miami include; Ivanka and Jared Kushner purchasing their $32.2 million estate in Miami Beach’s Indian Creek, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen purchased a $17 million home also in Indian Creek, and Rob Gronkowski purchasing a $1.7 million condo in the Marquis Residences.
Kim and her sister Kourtney Kardashian previously lived in Miami from 2009-2013 when they filmed their spin-off series; ‘Kourtney and Kim Take Miami.’ Whether she purchases a condo in downtown or in the famous Indian Creek where many celebs flock too, we will definitely be on the look out for Kim Kardashian’s next moves!

The new Miami brewery Cervecería La Tropical, named after the historic Cuban brewery, Cervecería, was first opened in 1888 in Havana but was seized by the Cuban government in the 1960’s. Located at 42 N.E. 25th Street in the Wynwood Arts District, this brewery will feature an on-site brewing operation with tour, taproom, restaurant, and outdoor botanical garden.
This state of the art brewery has an annual brewing capacity of 32,000 hectoliters per year and can house up to 800 craft beers. According to Brewbound, the brewery will be led by Brew Master Matt Weintraub, who is a graduate and award winner of the Florida International University Brewing Program.
According to the South Florida Business Journal, Cervecería occupies 28,000 square feet, which includes a Latin and Caribbean cuisine restaurant from Chef Cindy Hutson, owner of Zest Miami. It can seat 800 guests and a 10,000 square foot botanical garden, with additional outdoor seating.
Their menu will include 20 handcrafted beers ranging from lagers, IPAs, sours, barrel-aged, and ales infused with local ingredients. They will feature their La Original Ambar Lager, which is inspired by the original recipe from 1888.
“More than a century after La Tropical was originally founded, I am proud and excited to be creating a new cerveza, food and cultural destination that unites La Tropical’s Cuban soul with Miami’s diverse and unique culture that has made the city the gateway of the Americas” states owner, Manny Portuondo.
Their grand opening is tonight, February 19th, 2021 at Cerveceria La Tropical, 42 NE 25th St. Wynwood, Miami, FL 33137 from 9:00pm to 11:00pm with live band Xperimento!
Is Miami Going to Become the Next Silicon Valley? If it’s up to Mayor Francis Suarez, it Will Be.
Since the infamous tweet from Miami’s own Mayor Francis Suarez in early December of 2020, he has become very creative in his attempts at recruitment of relocating big tech and financial companies to Miami.
According to CNBC, the “How can I help?” tweet generated more that 2.3 million organic impressions. “It gave me the impetus and energy and incentive to keep tweeting and connecting at a very high rate,” Suarez said. From December 2020 alone, he has had more than 27 million impressions on his account and he hasn’t stopped there.
In his latest marketing efforts, commuters in San Francisco were greeted by their usual sign but this one had a different message. “Thinking about moving to Miami? DM me,” was sprawled across the billboard that resembled a tweet.
This particular signage is right above the 9th Street exit off westbound I-80 that leads to Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters. The only information we do know is that Twitter employees are currently working remotely until the end of summer 2021.
His campaign seems to be working with a few known tech giants and companies committing to relocating to Miami. Keith Rabois, former executive of Square and Paypal, David Blumber-Manager of Blumberg, and Scott Absher- CEO of ShiftPixy are just a few.
“My job is… to make sure people understand this is not a moment. This is a movement,” he said. “We’re going to continue to do everything we can to attract the entrepreneurial and intellectual class of our country to Miami to create high-paying jobs in a city like ours that wants to continue to grow,” says Mayor Suarez.
