Good news for all you local art lovers who are experiencing withdrawals now that Art Basel has left town. The Miami Art Museum’s Herzog & de Meuron-designed facility in Downtown Miami finally broke ground in Museum Park next to the future home of the Miami Science Museum. Following years of planning anticipation, the groundbreaking ceremony was held at the Museum’s new site overlooking Biscayne Bay and is scheduled to open to the public in 2013.

Check out the video clip below:

“Today’s groundbreaking is a giant step forward in Miami’s emergence as one of the world’s great cultural cities,” said Aaron Podhurst, chairman of Miami Art Museum’s board of trustees. “The launch of this construction process signals that the public and private sectors are committed to enhancing Miami’s profile as a global arts destination and we are proud that Miami Art Museum factors prominently into that reputation. Our new building will fill many roles – as a repository for our city’s greatest works, a resource for learning, an economic engine in our urban core, a gathering place for Miami residents and visitors, and as an architectural icon of our city.”

As a former New Yorker who truly appreciates the arts, I personally am looking forward to having a world class art museum across the causeway, in Downtown Miami.

For those of you who are currently owners of units in the properties such as Marquis Residences, Ten Museum Park and 900 Biscayne, which are directly across the street from the new home of Miami Art Museum, you’ll soon enough be able to see the increase in value of your investment as the project develops. If you haven’t already secured a condo at either of these properties, please feel free to contact me directly. I’ll be more than happy to provide you with availability, pricing and building information.
