The two retail additions join Brooklyn Dumpling Shop among recently announced additions to the six-block transit-oriented development in the heart of Downtown Miami. All slated for 2024 openings collectively illustrate the continued demand for retail space in the “New Downtown Miami.”

This collaboration serves as a tribute to the vibrant Overtown community, celebrating its rich history and cultural heritage. Through this activation, The Black Archives and Brightline aim to foster a deeper understanding of Overtown’s cultural contributions by creating a space for dialogue and appreciation that invites visitors to explore the neighborhood.
On September 22, Brightline’s passenger rail service between Orlando and Miami officially commenced. The inaugural train, named Bright Pink, arrived in Orlando at 11:05 a.m., warmly welcomed by over 500 elected officials, business leaders, community partners, and company executives from across the state. This celebration served as an emphatic statement regarding the boldest private infrastructure project in the nation and represents the revival of Henry Flagler’s original vision for the Florida East Coast Railway. A project a decade in the making, Brightline’s launch is poised to revolutionize train travel in America, presenting a model for connecting city pairs that are too close to fly between and yet too far to drive.
