surrender the Facility to the SEOPW CRA properly cleaned and in the same condition existing upon
Licensee's acceptance. If the Facility is not properly cleaned to the SEOPW CRA's satisfaction, then
the SEOPW CRA shall have the right to invoice the Licensee for such additional cleaning. The cost
of additional cleaning, as well as the cost of damage repairs, or any repairs necessitated as a result of
the use of the Facility by Licensee, shall be deducted from the Deposit, if applicable. Licensee shall
pay any deficiency upon demand.
e) The SEOPW CRA shall have the right to enter upon the Facility at any time during
the Use Period, as it deems necessary.
f) Licensee shall not damage nor permit any damage to any portion of the Facility, and
at the termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall deliver the Facility to the SEOPW CRA in as
good of a condition as existed at the commencement of the Use Period of this Agreement. Should the
Licensee fail to return the Facility in the same condition as it received it, the SEOPW CRA reserves
the right to pursue all legal actions and remedies afforded by Florida law.

or permit any statutory, laborers, materialman, or mechanics' liens to be filed against the Facility by

Attachment: File # 19202 - Exhibit A (19202 : Revocable License Agreement: Hospitality Employees Advancement and Training, Inc. (H.E.A.T.),
Packet Pg. 34
3.2.a
reason of work, labor, services, or materials supplied to the Licensee or anyone having a right to
possession of the Facility. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as constituting the consent
or request of the SEOPW CRA, expressed or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor,
subcontractor, laborer or material man for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any
materials for any specific alteration, or repair of or to the Facility nor as giving the Licensee the right,
power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any
materials that would give rise to the filing of any mechanics liens against the Facility. If any
mechanics' lien shall at any time be filed against the Facility, the Licensee shall cause it to be
discharged of record or transferred to appropriate bond within thirty (30) days after the date the
Licensee acquires knowledge of its filing. If the Licensee shall fail to discharge a mechanics' lien or
cause same to be transferred to bond within that period, then in addition to any other right or remedy
available to the SEOPW CRA, the SEOPW CRA may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the
lien either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by transferring same to appropriate bond. All
amounts paid by the SEOPW CRA shall be repaid to the SEOPW CRA by the Licensee immediately
upon rendition of any invoice or bill by the SEOPW CRA and shall bear interest at the maximum rate
allowed by Florida law until repaid. Subject to the limits, limitations and provisions of Section
768.28, Florida Statutes, as may be amended, Licensee further agrees to hold SEOPW CRA harmless
from, and to indemnify and defend the SEOPW CRA against, any and all claims, demands and
expenses, including attorney's fees and costs, by reason of any claims of any contractor,
subcontractor, materialman, laborer or any other third person with whom Licensee has contracted or
otherwise is found liable for, in respect to the Facility.
10. SEOPW CRA ACCESS. SEOPW CRA and its authorized representative(s) shall
have access to the Facility at all times to: (a) inspect the Facility; (b) to perform any obligations of
Licensee under this Agreement, which Licensee has failed to cure within ten (10) days of receipt of
written notice from the SEOPW CRA; and (c) confirm Licensee's compliance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. The SEOPW
CRA shall not be liable for any loss, cost or damage to the Licensee by reason of the exercise by the
SEOPW CRA of the right of entry described herein, unless caused by the SOPW CRA's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The making of periodic inspection or the failure to do so shall not
operate to impose upon SEOPW CRA any liability of any kind whatsoever nor relieves the Licensee
of any responsibility, obligations or liability under this Agreement.
11. LICENSEE COMPLIANCE WITH ALL ORDINANCES. Licensee agrees to
comply with all applicable code requirements and ordinances including the requirement to apply for
any temporary use permits, building permits, certificates of use, or other permits and/or licenses.

those not requiring any permits, and including the installation of outdoor furniture, planters,

Attachment: File # 19202 - Exhibit A (19202 : Revocable License Agreement: Hospitality Employees Advancement and Training, Inc. (H.E.A.T.),
Packet Pg. 35
3.2.a
to comply with any term(s) or condition(s) of this Agreement, or fails to perform any of its obligations
hereunder, then Licensee shall be in default. Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, the SEOPW
CRA, in addition to all remedies available to it by law, may by notice to Licensee, terminate this
Agreement whereupon all deposits, including security deposits, payments, advances, or other
compensation paid by the Licensee to the SEOPW CRA shall be retained by the SEOPW CRA.
14. INSURANCE. Licensee shall, at all times during the term hereof, maintain such
insurance coverage as provided in Exhibit "C," attached hereto and incorporated herein. All such
insurance, including renewals, shall be subject to the approval of the SEOPW CRA and the City of
Miami (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) for adequacy of protection and evidence
of such coverage shall be furnished to the SEOPW CRA on Certificates of Liability Insurance,
indicating such insurance to be in force and effect and providing that it will not be canceled, or
materially changed during the performance of Licensee's obligations under this Agreement without
thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice (or in accordance to policy provisions) to the SEOPW
CRA. Completed Certificates of Liability Insurance shall be filed with the SEOPW CRA, to the extent
practicable, prior to the performance of Licensee's obligations hereunder, provided, however, that
Licensee shall at any time upon request by the SEOPW CRA file duplicate copies of the policies of
such insurance with the SEOPW CRA.
If, in the reasonable judgment of the SEOPW CRA, prevailing conditions warrant the provision by
Licensee of additional liability insurance coverage or coverage which is different in kind, the
SEOPW CRA reserves the right to require the provision by Licensee of an amount of coverage
different from the amounts or kind previously required and shall afford written notice of such
change in requirements thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the requirements shall take effect.
Should Licensee fail or refuse to satisfy the requirement of changed coverage within thirty (30)
days following the SEOPW CRA's written notice, this Agreement shall be considered terminated
on the date the required change in policy coverage would otherwise take effect.
15. RISK OF LOSS. The SEOPW CRA and the City of Miami assume no responsibility
whatsoever for any person or Facility that enters the premises or Facility resulting from, or in
connection with, the Purpose of this Agreement. In consideration of the execution of this Agreement
by the SEOPW CRA, the Licensee releases the SEOPW CRA and the City of Miami from all liability
resulting from loss, injury, death, theft, damage or destruction to any persons or Facility which may
occur in or about the premises or Facility regardless of the cause, including circumstances where it
is alleged that the SEOPW CRA and the City of Miami, or their employees, agents, or contractors
were negligent. Licensee does not agree to release the SEOPW CRA and the City of Miami from
liability which is determined to be caused solely due to the intentional or willful misconduct of the
SEOPW CRA and the City of Miami, or their respective employees or agents.
16. INDEMNIFICATION. Licensee shall indemnify, covenant not to sue, defend and
hold harmless the SEOPW CRA, the City of Miami, and their officials, employees and agents
(collectively referred to as "Indemnitees"), from and against all loss, costs, penalties, fines, damages,
claims, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) or liabilities (collectively referred to as
"Liabilities") by reason of any injury to or death of any person or damage to or destruction or loss of
the Facility arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with (i) the use of the Facility, whether
caused directly or indirectly, in whole or in part (whether joint, concurrent or contributing), by any

Packet Pg. 36
3.2.a
act, omission, default, negligence (whether active or passive), recklessness or intentional wrongful
misconduct of Licensee or any of Licensees guests, invitees, employees, agents or subcontractors, or
(ii) by the failure of Licensee to comply with any of the provisions herein, specifically Licensee's
obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances or other regulations or requirements in
connection with the use of the Facility. This indemnification shall survive the term of this Agreement.
17. SAFETY. Licensee shall allow SEOPW CRA inspectors, agents or representatives the
ability to monitor its compliance with safety precautions as required by federal, state or local laws,
rules, regulations and ordinances. By performing these inspections, the SEOPW CRA, its agents, or
representatives are not assuming any liability by virtue of these laws, rules, regulations and
ordinances. Licensee shall have no recourse against the SEOPW CRA, its agents, or representatives
from the occurrence, non-occurrence or result of such inspection(s).
18. SEOPW CRA'S TERMINATION RIGHTS.
(a) Termination for Convenience: The SEOPW CRA shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement for convenience, in its sole discretion, upon seven (7) days prior written notice to
Licensee. Additionally, the SEOPW CRA shall have the right to cancel the presentation of an Event,
at any time if, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, the SEOPW CRA determines that the
presentation of such Event, at the scheduled time, is not in the best interest of the SEOPW CRA due
to circumstances beyond the SEOPW CRA's reasonable control.
(b) Termination for Cause: The SEOPW CRA shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement, without notice or liability to Licensee, upon the occurrence of an event of default.

discretion, not to repair or rebuild.
(d) Force Majeure: SEOPW CRA shall not be liable for any failure to perform its

21. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Licensee hereby agrees that Licensee and
Licensee's officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, subcontractors, and
any other users of the Facility (collectively referred to as "Licensee Representatives") shall not
use, generate, manufacture, refine, produce, process, store or dispose of, on, under or about the

required for the storage or use by Licensee or any of Licensee's Representatives of any Hazardous
Materials on the Property or at the Facility, including without limitation, discharge of
(appropriately treated) materials or wastes into or through any sanitary sewer serving the Facility.
Each party hereto (for purposes of this Paragraph, "Notifying Party") shall immediately notify the
other party (the "Notice Recipient") in writing of: (a) any enforcement, cleanup, removal or other
governmental or regulatory action instituted, contemplated or threatened concerning the Property
or the Facility, pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws; (b) any claim made or threatened by
any person against the Notifying Party or the Property relating to damage contribution, cost
recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous
Materials on or about the Property; and (c) any reports made to any environmental agency, arising
out of or in connection with, any Hazardous Materials in or removed from the Facility, including
any complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations in connection therewith, all upon receipt

Representatives use thereof.
Subject to the limits, limitations and provisions of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, as may be
amended, Licensee shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold the SEOPW CRA, employees,
agents, attorneys, shareholders, officers, directors, trustees, successors and assigns (collectively,
the SEOPW CRA together with all of such persons and entities are hereinafter referred to as the
"Indemnified Parties"), free and harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of
action, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, damages, losses or expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and costs through litigation and all appeals) or death of or injury to any person or
damage to any the Facility whatsoever, arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly by (a) any contamination resulting from any act or omission of Licensee or Licensee's

Page 8 of 18
Attachment: File # 19202 - Exhibit A (19202 : Revocable License Agreement: Hospitality Employees Advancement and Training, Inc. (H.E.A.T.),
Packet Pg. 39
3.2.a
this Paragraph. Licensee's obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether
foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or
detoxification or decontamination of the Facility, and the preparation and implementation of any
closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith. For purposes of the
indemnity provisions hereof, any acts or omissions of Licensee, or Licensee's Representatives
(whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to
Licensee. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Paragraph 9
("Violations, Liens, and Security Interests") or this Paragraph 21 ("Hazardous Materials") shall
require the Licensee to indemnify the Indemnitees from and against any loss, cost, claim, liability,
damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) relating to or arising out of: (i) the
Indemnitees, its employees', or agents' negligence in the performance of this Agreement; and (ii)
the Indemnitees', its employees', or agents' breach of any provision of this Agreement. Nothing
contained herein shall obligate the Licensee to indemnify or in any way be liable to pay to any
person or entity any amount which exceeds the amount(s) for which the Licensee could be held
liable under the provisions of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, as may be amended, and nothing
herein shall be read as a waiver of the sovereign immunity beyond that provided in Section 768.28,
Florida Statutes, nor will anything herein be read as increasing the liability of the Licensee to any
person or entity beyond the limits of liability for which the Licensee could be held liable under
Section 768.28, Florida Statutes. This revision reflects the fact that political subdivisions (like the
Licensee) are prohibited by the state constitution from waiving sovereign immunity and is an
attempt to harmonize the language of indemnity with state law.
22. LICENSES, AUTHORIZATIONS, AND PERMITS. Licensee shall obtain, or
cause to be obtained, and maintain in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement,
at its sole expense, all licenses, authorizations and permits that are necessary for Licensee to
conduct the Permitted Use on the Facility. The Licensee shall be responsible for paying the cost
of said applications and obtaining said licenses, authorizations and permits.
23. COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS APPLICABLE. Licensee accepts this
Agreement and hereby acknowledges that Licensee's strict compliance with all applicable federal,
state and local laws, ordinances and regulations is a condition of this Agreement, and Licensee
shall comply therewith as the same presently exist and as they may be amended hereafter. This
Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Florida.
24. SURRENDER OF FACILITY. In the event of termination of this Agreement,
Licensee shall peacefully surrender the Facility in good condition and repair, pursuant to Paragraph
8. Upon surrender, Licensee shall promptly remove any equipment, personal property, and
furnishings from the Facility, and Licensee shall repair any damage to the Facility caused thereby.
Should Licensee fail to repair any damage caused to the Facility within thirty (30) days after receipt
of written notice from SEOPW CRA directing the required repairs, SEOPW CRA shall cause the
Facility to be repaired at the sole cost and expense of Licensee. Licensee shall pay the SEOPW
CRA the full cost of such repairs within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice indicating the cost
of such required repairs, together with interest thereon, at the maximum rate allowed by Florida
law until repaid. In the event Licensee fails to remove Licensee's equipment, personal property,
Page 9 of 18
Attachment: File # 19202 - Exhibit A (19202 : Revocable License Agreement: Hospitality Employees Advancement and Training, Inc. (H.E.A.T.),
Packet Pg. 40
3.2.a
and furnishings from the Facility within the time limit set by the notice, said Facility shall be
deemed abandoned and thereupon shall become the sole personal property of the SEOPW CRA.
The SEOPW CRA, at its sole discretion and without liability, may remove and/or dispose of same
as the SEOPW CRA sees fit, all at Licensee's sole cost and expense.
25. SEVERABILITY. It is the express intent of the parties that this Agreement
constitutes a revocable license and not a lease. To further this intent, the parties agree as follows:
(i) if any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any circumstance, suggest that
a lease, rather than a license, has been created, then such provision shall be interpreted in the light
most favorable to the creation of a license; and (ii) if any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
created a lease rather than a license, then such provision shall be stricken and, to the fullest extent
possible, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall
continue to operate and remain in full force and effect. With regard to those provisions which do
not affect the parties intent for this Agreement, should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence,
word or phrase contained in this Agreement be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable under the laws of the State of Florida, such provision,
section, paragraph, sentence, word or phrase shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary in
order to conform with such laws, or if not modifiable, then same shall be deemed severable, and
in either event, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain unmodified and
in full force and effect or limitation of its use.
26. NON-DELEGABILITY. Licensee shall not assign, sell, convey, pledge,
encumber, dispose, or transfer its privilege and use granted unto it by this Agreement in whole or
in part. Any assignment, sale, disposition, or transfer of this Agreement or any interest therein by
Licensee is an event of default and shall result in the automatic termination of this Agreement
without notice by the SEOPW CRA.
27. PUBLIC RECORDS AND MAINTENANCE; AUDITS AND EVALUATION.
a) Public Records and Maintenance of Records. This Agreement shall be
subject to Florida's Public Records Laws, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. The Parties understand
the broad nature of these laws and agree to comply with Florida's Public Records Laws, and laws
relating to records retention. Moreover, in furtherance of the SEOPW CRA audit rights in Section
27(b) below, Grantee acknowledges and accepts the SEOPW CRA's right to access Licensee's
records, legal representatives' and contractors' records, and the obligation of Licensee to retain
and to make those records available upon request, and in accordance with all applicable laws.
Licensee shall keep and maintain records to show its compliance with this Agreement. Licensee
shall retain records related to this Agreement or the Event for a period of five (5) years after the
expiration, early termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
b) Audit Rights. The SEOPW CRA shall have the right to conduct audits of
Grantee's records pertaining to the Licensee's use of the Facility and to visit the Event site, in
order to conduct its monitoring and evaluation activities. Licensee agrees to cooperate with the
SEOPW CRA in the performance of these activities. Such audits shall take place at a mutually
agreeable date and time.

3.2.a
c) Failure To Comply. Licensee's failure to comply with these requirements
or the receipt or discovery (by monitoring or evaluation) by the SEOPW CRA of any inconsistent,
incomplete, or inadequate information shall be grounds for the immediate termination of this
Agreement without notice by the SEOPW CRA.
28. CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Licensee is aware of the conflict -of -interest laws of
the City of Miami (Miami City Code Chapter 2, Article V), Miami -Dade County, Florida (Dade
County Code, Section 2-11.1 et. seq.) and of the State of Florida as set forth in the Florida Statutes
and agrees that it will fully comply in all respects with the terms of said laws and any future
amendments thereto. Licensee covenants that no person or entity under its employ, presently
exercising any functions or responsibilities in connection with this Agreement, has any personal
financial interests, direct or indirect, with the SEOPW CRA. Licensee further covenants that, in
the performance of this Agreement, no person or entity having such conflicting interest shall be
utilized in respect to services provided hereunder. Any such conflict of interest(s) on the part of
Licensee, its employees or associated persons, or entities must be disclosed in writing to the
SEOPW CRA.
29. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. The Parties hereby knowingly, irrevocable,
voluntarily and intentionally waive any right either may have to a trial by jury in respect of any
action, proceeding or counterclaim based on this Agreement, or arising out of, under or in
connection with this Agreement or any amendment or modification of this Agreement, or any other
agreement executed by and between the parties in connection with this Agreement, or any course
of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party hereto.
This waiver of jury trial provision is a material inducement for the SEOPW CRA and Licensee
entering into the subject transaction.
30. WAIVER. Any waiver by either party or any breach by either party of any one or
more of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a
waiver of any subsequent or other breach of the same or any covenant, condition or provision of
this Agreement, nor shall any failure on the part of the SEOPW CRA to require or exact full and
complete compliance by Licensee with any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this
Agreement be construed as in any manner changing the terms hereof to prevent the SEOPW CRA
from enforcing in full the provisions hereto, nor shall the terms of this Agreement be changed or
altered in any manner whatsoever other than by written agreement of the SEOPW CRA and
Licensee.
31. FURTHER ACTS. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and
contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by the Parties, the Parties each agree to
perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered any and all
such further acts, deeds and assurances as may be necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.

Re: Proposal Request for SEOPW CRA Funding for the Freedom Center at Gale Miami Hotel
— Developer Terms and Community Benefits
Dear Chairwoman King:
This proposal is respectfully submitted on behalf of Sixth Street Miami Partners LLC for the
buildout and development of a Conference and Exhibition Center referred to as the " Freedom Center
at Gale Miami Hotel" (the "Project"), to be located at 159 NE 6th Street Miami, FL 33132 ("Property")
within the boundaries of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency
("CRA").
The Project is intended to serve as a regional economic anchor —enhancing Miami's capacity
to attract conventions, trade shows, professional conferences, cultural exhibitions, and large-scale
tourism activations. It is projected to generate significant public benefits, including job creation,
increased tax revenue, and meaningful neighborhood revitalization. At this time, we respectfully
request an initial grant award of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00)
from the CRA to underwrite a portion of the cost for the buildout of the space.
The Freedom Center development plans align with the proposed buildout, site location, and
key community benefits outlined in the attached term sheet. All commitments follow Interlocal
Agreement requirements related to labor participation, wage standards, and workforce reporting.
Planned community benefits include hosting ten community events each year, supporting the annual
Christmas Giving initiative, prioritizing local hiring and vendor participation, partnering with
reentry -focused organizations such as Transition Inc. or Circle of Brotherhood, and expanding
workforce development opportunities for residents of the SEOPW CRA District.
The development team remains committed to upholding both the letter and spirit of the
SEOPW CRA's mission —including the promotion of job creation, economic mobility, and the activation
of community -serving spaces. We appreciate the CRA's continued collaboration and look forward to
advancing this transformative opportunity. We stand ready to provide any additional information that
may assist in your review.
Thank you for your partnership and thoughtful consideration.

Executive Summary
The Freedom Center at Gale Miami Hotel represents a strategic opportunity to establish a 42,000 square foot
convention and exhibition facility on the seventh floor of Downtown Miami's newest landmark tower. This
economic impact study quantifies the facility's projected contribution to Miami -Dade County's economy using
industry -standard input-output modeling and locally -calibrated multipliers from Lightcast.

Strategic Market Timing
The Freedom Center enters the market at a uniquely advantageous moment. The Miami Riverbridge development
agreement initiates a multi -year redevelopment of the James L. Knight Convention Center, creating a 5-7 year
period during which Downtown Miami's primary convention facility will be offline. The Freedom Center serves a
critical market stewardship role:
• Market Continuity: Maintains convention and exhibition business in Downtown Miami during the Knight Center
construction period, preventing market atrophy and loss of business to competing destinations.
• Demand Cultivation: Establishes and validates the downtown Worldcenter location for events, building client
relationships and repeat business that will benefit the entire market.
• Focused Positioning: At 42,000 SF on a single floor, the Freedom Center serves the mid -market segment with a
nimble, hotel -integrated operating model ideally suited to trade shows, expos, and civic gatherings.
• Rising Tide Effect: When Miami Riverbridge opens, expected in the early 2030s, it will inherit a stronger, more
established downtown meetings market.
Community Redevelopment Agency Benefits
Located within the Overtown/Park West CRA, the Freedom Center advances agency objectives including job
creation, space activation, and tax base expansion. Under the conservative base case (Scenario B), the project
generates $1.98 million in cumulative TIF revenue over 16 years; under stabilized performance assumptions
(Scenario C), TIF increases to $2.89 million. With 189 FTE jobs supported annually in the regional economy,
concentrated first within the Overtown/Park West CRA boundary and radiating outward through Downtown

Miami, and total annual incremental tax impact of $1.1 million across all jurisdictions, a CRA grant contribution of
$3 million is well -supported by the evidence.
The project's capital structure is straightforward: $3.5 million from the Overtown/Park West CRA and $4.0
million from Sixth Street Miami Partners fund the complete $7.5 million build -out. The developer is additionally
funding infrastructure improvements on adjacent floors, bringing total private commitment to approximately
$5.0 to $5.7 million.
1. Introduction and Project Overview
1.1 Project Description
The Freedom Center at Gale Miami Hotel & Residences is a 42,000 square foot convention and exhibition
venue occupying the seventh floor of a 51-story landmark tower in the heart of Downtown Miami, adjacent to
Miami Worldcenter and centrally located near all major transit stations. The facility is purpose-built to serve trade
shows, expos, large civic gatherings, and mid -sized corporate and association events, with state-of-the-art
audio, visual, climate control, and logistics infrastructure. The project is owned and developed by Sixth Street
Miami Partners, doing business as the Freedom Center.

1.2 Gale Miami Hotel & Residences Context
The Freedom Center is integrated within Gale Miami Hotel & Residences, a 51-story landmark tower blending
luxury hospitality with modern residential living. The property features 688 residences (337 in the hotel program),
multiple dining venues, rooftop amenities, and 24-hour valet parking. The hotel's on -site conference facilities (a
separate 20,000 SF Gale Conference Center with up to 13 partitionable rooms) complement the Freedom
Center's seventh -floor exhibition space, enabling the combined property to serve events from boardroom
meetings to large-scale convention gatherings.
2. Market Context: Miami -Dade Tourism Economy
2.1 Tourism Industry Overview
Miami -Dade County's tourism industry achieved record performance in 2024, establishing the economic
foundation that supports convention and exhibition activity. According to the Greater Miami Convention &
Visitors Bureau's 2024 Visitor Industry Overview, the destination welcomed 28.2 million visitors who generated
$22.0 billion in direct spending, a 4% increase over 2023 and 23% above pre -pandemic 2019 levels.

3. Strategic Market Timing: Miami Riverbridge Analysis
3.1 Miami Riverbridge Development Overview
On June 12, 2023, the Miami City Commission approved Resolution 13923, authorizing a 99-year ground lease
for the comprehensive redevelopment of the James L. Knight Convention Center into the $1.7 billion Miami
Riverbridge project. This creates a 5-7+ year gap in Downtown Miami's convention capacity, a window the
Freedom Center is uniquely positioned to fill.

Event planners book 18-36 months in advance. Clients displaced by the Knight Center closure are making venue
decisions now for their 2027 and 2028 events. Without viable downtown convention space, those decisions will
default to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Miami Beach; and once established elsewhere, event organizers have
little incentive to return.
4. Methodology and Data Sources
4.1 Input -Output Modeling Framework
This analysis employs regional input-output modeling using Miami -Dade Lightcast 2024 multipliers, separating
effects into Direct Effects (initial attendee spending), Indirect Effects (business -to -business supplier spending), and

5. Economic Impact Analysis
5.1 Operating Scenarios
The Moderate scenario of 60 event days represents the most likely stabilized performance for a 42,000 SF single -
floor facility, translating to approximately 24 events annually with an average duration of 2.5 days. This utilization
rate is appropriately conservative for a facility in its early operational years in a competitive urban market and
allows meaningful upside as the Freedom Center establishes itself as Downtown Miami's premier mid -market
event venue.

At the Moderate scenario, 40,000 annual attendees will inject $18.9 million in new spending into the Miami -Dade
economy. The concentration of spending on lodging (46%) and food and beverage (21%) directly benefits
Downtown Miami's hospitality sector, with the Gale Miami Hotel well -positioned to capture a significant share of
on -site lodging and dining revenue.

6.2 Projected Incremental Tax Revenue
Tax revenue projections reflect only the incremental contribution from out-of-town visitors whose hotel stays and
spending represent new activity to Miami -Dade County. The Gale Hotel's existing room inventory is already
operating and generating bed tax revenue; this analysis captures only the Freedom Center -attributable increment.
Using a conservative assumption that 60% of Freedom Center attendees are out-of-town visitors (24,000 at the
Moderate scenario), incremental direct spending is $11.35 million at the Moderate scenario. Bed taxes (CDT,
TDT, Professional Sports) are applied to the lodging share of incremental spending only; state and county sales
taxes are applied to total incremental spending.

Note: Total attendee economic activity ($18.9M direct spending, Moderate scenario) is reported in Section 5 as a measure of
total economic impact. The incremental tax figures above are the more conservative and technically correct basis for fiscal
contribution analysis, given the Gale Hotel's existing operations. Over a 10-year stabilized operating period, cumulative
incremental tax generation under the Moderate scenario reaches $11.1 million.
7. Build -Out Cost Projections
The $7.5 million build -out cost represents the full investment required to convert 42,000 SF of Floor 7 into a
Class A convention and exhibition facility, at a rate of $179 per square foot. The $3.5 million CRA grant and $4
million developer contribution together fund the complete build -out with no additional private capital required.
In addition, Sixth Street Miami Partners is independently funding HVAC distribution, electrical upgrades,
additional bathrooms, and a connecting staircase on adjacent floors —estimated at $500,000 to $1.2 million —
bringing total developer investment to approximately $5.0 to $5.7 million.

The build -out investment generates a one-time construction -period economic stimulus. The estimated $35-37
million in total construction -period output can support 73-80 temporary construction job -years, injecting $9.4-
10.3 million in labor income into the local economy prior to opening.
8. Pro Forma Financial Projections
8.1 Revenue Projections
Projected annual revenue of $1.71—$4.65 million positions the Freedom Center competitively within the mid -
market convention facility segment. The 42,000 SF single -floor configuration supports efficient operations scaled
to the facility's footprint, while maintaining capacity to serve events from corporate meetings to large-scale trade
shows.

A 63% operating expense ratio reflects the labor-intensive nature of convention facility management. The 37%
NOI margin ($0.63M—$1.72M annually, across scenarios) demonstrates operational viability and confirms that
CRA participation addresses a one-time capital gap, not an ongoing operating subsidy.

• Each additional 20 event days generates approximately $3.15M in additional direct spending and $6.4M in
additional total economic output.
• A 10% increase in average event attendance increases all economic metrics proportionally.
• The analysis uses international visitor spending ($473/day). A domestic -only mix would reduce per -person
spending to approximately $341/day, reducing Moderate scenario direct spending to —$13.6M.

Freedom Center at Gale Miami Hotel BusinessFlare®
10. Community Redevelopment Agency Benefits
The CRA's primary public benefit mandate is job creation accessible to Overtown/Park West residents. The
Freedom Center delivers on that mandate at a scale and depth that few single projects can match. The 189 FTE
supported annually under the Moderate scenario represents direct, indirect, and induced employment- but the
character of those jobs, who holds them, and how they connect to the surrounding community requires more
than a headline number.
10.1 Occupational Composition of Direct Employment
Of the approximately 87 direct FTE at the Freedom Center, Food and Beverage operations represent the largest
category at roughly 20 to 25 positions, including the Executive Catering Chef, sous chefs, line cooks, banquet
servers, and bartenders. Event Operations accounts for approximately 12 positions across event directors,
coordinators, and setup crews. Security and Guest Services adds 14 FTE including licensed security officers and
front -of -house staff. Facilities and Maintenance accounts for 10 FTE. AV and Technology contributes 6 skilled -trade
positions. Management and Administration rounds out the remaining 8 to 9 permanent leadership and finance
roles.
This distribution matters for the CRA because the largest single occupation at the facility- banquet server,
approximately 12 to 16 FTE equivalent - is both the most accessible entry point for Overtown/Park West residents
and one of the better -compensated hourly hospitality positions available in Miami -Dade. Unlike restaurant tipped
workers, convention banquet servers operate under mandatory service charge structures (typically 22 to 24
percent added to food and beverage billings), which distributes guaranteed income rather than discretionary
gratuities. A full-time equivalent banquet server working a stabilized 24-event calendar earns meaningfully more
per hour than their counterpart in a restaurant setting - a distinction that is economically significant for households
in a neighborhood where median income runs approximately $28,000 to $35,000.
10.2 Career Pathway Structure
The Freedom Center creates a four -tier employment ladder, each rung accessible from the one below through
performance and incremental training rather than credential barriers:
Entry -tier positions ($26,000—$38,000) include custodial and housekeeping staff, banquet servers, line cooks,
food prep workers, security officers, valet attendants, and guest services. The primary hiring barriers for these
roles are reliability and basic certifications - ServSafe food handler certification costs approximately $15 to $25 and
can be obtained online; the Florida Class D security license requires 40 hours of training and approximately $150
in fees. These 28 to 34 positions are the facility's deepest connection to the Overtown/Park West labor pool and
are accessible to individuals with limited formal education, including returning citizens.
Skilled and experienced positions ($38,000—$58,000) include AV technicians, maintenance technicians, sous
chefs, banquet captains, event coordinators, sales coordinators, security supervisors, and administrative staff.
These positions typically require one to three years of experience in an adjacent role, plus specific certifications:
Certified Technology Specialist (CTS) through AVIXA for AV roles; EPA 608 certification for maintenance workers
doing HVAC work; Food Handler Manager designation for kitchen supervisors. Critically, most of these positions
can be filled by promoting Tier 1 workers who demonstrate performance over 12 to 24 months. A community
hiring agreement that includes an explicit internal -promotion preference before external recruitment for this tier
would meaningfully expand the career ceiling for CRA-area residents who enter at the bottom of the ladder.
Professional and management positions ($52,000—$92,000) include the F&B Director, AV Director/Technical
Director, event managers, senior sales managers, facilities manager, controller, and assistant general manager -
approximately 12 positions in total. This tier requires hospitality management experience or a relevant degree,
with FIU's Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management (nationally ranked top 10) and Miami Dade
College as the primary local pipelines.
Senior leadership ($72,000—$105,000) covers the General Manager, Director of Sales, and Executive Catering
Chef- three to four positions recruited from Miami-Dade's broader convention and hospitality market.

Freedom Center at Gale Miami Hotel BusinessFlare®
10.3 Industry Validation of Staffing Projection
The 87 FTE direct employment figure is independently validated by standard convention industry benchmarks.
The IAEE and PCMA convention management benchmarks indicate one direct FTE per $43,000 to $48,000 in
annual facility revenue. Applied to the Freedom Center's Moderate scenario revenue of $2.80 million, this
implies approximately 58-65 core direct FTE - consistent with the model's 87 direct FTE when event -day
equivalent staffing is included. This revenue -per -employee benchmark provides independent confirmation that
the staffing projection is internally consistent with industry operating norms, not an inflated number constructed
to support the investment case.
At 2.07 direct FTE per 1,000 square feet, the Freedom Center falls at the higher end of the documented range for
mid -size convention and conference facilities (1.0 to 2.2 FTE per 1,000 SF), reflecting the hotel -integrated model
where food, beverage, and event services are more intensive per square foot than standalone convention halls.
10.4 Event -Day Labor Activation
The 189 FTE annual figure represents stabilized employment equivalent - the workforce required to operate the
facility across a full calendar year. On any individual event day, the labor activation is substantially larger. A single
major event serving 500 to 1,000 attendees will activate 30 to 50 Freedom Center staff, 10 to 20 third -party
vendor personnel (AV, decor, entertainment), and 15 to 30 exhibitor or sponsor staff from the booking
organizations.
Across the Moderate scenario's 60 event days per year, this represents approximately 1,800 to 3,000 individual
worker -event engagements annually— positions concentrated in server, setup, AV support, security, and
registration roles directly accessible to Overtown/Park West residents. This figure is additive to the 189 FTE count
and represents a labor market activation benefit not captured in the primary impact model.
10.5 Geographic Distribution
The geographic distribution of jobs across the four tiers reflects realistic hiring patterns for a convention facility at
this location. Overtown/Park West CRA residents, with proximity to the Worldcenter site and concentration in the
entry-level and service workforce, stand to capture 35 to 42 percent of direct FTE positions without a formal hiring
agreement, and 40 to 55 percent with one - translating to approximately 35 to 48 direct jobs for CRA-area
residents. The facility also activates the supplier ecosystem in Miami-Dade's event services economy: AV and
equipment rental companies concentrated in the Wynwood and Design District corridors, food and beverage
distributors operating out of Doral and Airport West, and professional services firms throughout Downtown,
collectively accounting for the 24 indirect FTE in the model.

Capital structure note: The $3.5 million CRA grant and $4 million developer contribution (Sixth Street Miami
Partners) together fund the complete $7.5 million build -out of Floor 7. The developer's additional infrastructure
investments on adjacent floors bring total private commitment to approximately $5.0 to $5.7 million; equaling or
exceeding the CRA grant amount.
10.7 Community Hiring Cascade
The Freedom Center's position within the Overtown/Park West CRA creates both the obligation and the
opportunity to implement a structured community hiring preference. As a condition of the $3 million CRA grant,
the developer and operator commit to a best-efforts hiring cascade that prioritizes local residents in the following
order:
Priority 1 - Overtown/Park West CRA Residents. The first and primary hiring preference applies to residents living
within the Overtown/Park West CRA boundary, generally bounded by 1-395 to the north, the Miami River to the
south, 1-95 to the west, and Biscayne Boulevard to the east. This population has the most direct claim on the
public investment and the most to gain from employment access at a facility of this scale and permanence.
Priority 2 - City of Miami Residents in Adjacent ZIP Codes. Where CRA-boundary residents cannot be identified
or qualified for a given position, hiring preference extends to City of Miami residents in the immediately adjacent
ZIP codes - principally 33127 (Wynwood/Edgewater), 33130 (Little Havana/Riverside), 33132
(Downtown/Biscayne), and 33136 (Health District/Allapattah).
Priority 3 - City of Miami Residents Countywide. The third tier extends the preference to all remaining City of
Miami residents before the search broadens to the wider county labor market.
Priority 4 - Miami -Dade County Residents. Only after exhausting best-efforts outreach through the first three tiers
does hiring proceed on an unrestricted county -wide basis.
This cascade applies to all direct employment positions and, where contractually enforceable, to the hiring
practices of primary contractors and vendors providing services at the facility.
Implementation Mechanisms. Best-efforts compliance is most effective when tied to specific process
requirements rather than numeric targets, which are difficult to enforce and create legal exposure. Recommended
mechanisms include: posting all open positions with the Miami -Dade CareerSource network and SEOPW CRA job
board for a minimum of 10 business days before external advertising; participating in at Ieast two CRA-area job
fairs per year; partnering with Miami -Dade College, FIU, and Miami Dade County Public Schools' career and
technical education programs for entry-level pipeline development; and submitting an annual workforce report to
the CRA documenting the residential distribution of hires by tier.
Promotion Preference. The hiring cascade should also extend to internal promotion decisions. Before recruiting
externally for Tier 2 skilled and experienced positions, the operator should demonstrate best-efforts consideration
of current employees who entered at Tier 1 - converting what would otherwise be a static entry-level workforce
into a genuine career mobility pathway for Overtown/Park West residents.
10.8 TIF Revenue Projections
The build -out generates new taxable value flowing to the CRA through the TIF mechanism. The combined City of
Miami (7.1364 mills) and Miami -Dade County (4.574 mills) millage captured at 95% yields an effective rate of
11.1295 mills on incremental taxable value.

Scenario A: Cost Escalation Only. The cost -based taxable value grows at 5.5% annually throughout the full 16-year
period, reflecting propertyvalue appreciation without any assumption about income -based revaluation. This is the
most conservative possible floor. The project generates $1.65 million in cumulative TIF revenue over 16 years.
Scenario B: Conservative Base Case. Years 1 and 2 use cost -based valuation derived from the build -out
investment. Beginning Year 3, the model transitions to income approach valuation using Moderate NOI ($1.04M)
at a 7% capitalization rate. The project generates $1.98 million in cumulative TIF revenue over 16 years.
Scenario C: Stabilized Performance Case. Conservative performance in Years 1 and 2, Moderate in Years 3
through 5, and Strong performance from Year 6 forward with cap rate compression from 7% to 6%. The project
generates $2.89 million in cumulative TIF revenue over 16 years.

$15,873 per job
The $3 million CRA grant translates to $15,873 perjob created — below the approximately $24,000 combined
public investment perjob authorized under Florida's Qualified Target Industry (MI) program and consistent
with comparable economic development incentive programs statewide. Cost -per -job is one measure of
investment efficiency. The full case rests on the combination of TIF recovery ($1.6M to $2.9M over 16 years
depending on scenario), $1.1 million in annual incremental tax revenue, $38.6 million in total annual economic
output, 189 permanent jobs concentrated in and around the CRA, and the market continuity value of preserving
Downtown Miami's convention industry during the Knight Center transition period.
10.10 Capital Gap, Not Operating Subsidy
The Freedom Center will operate profitably once constructed. CRA participation addresses a capital gap for
accelerated build -out, not an ongoing operating deficit. CRA investment is a one-time grant that unlocks a self-
sustaining operation generating returns for decades.
10.11 Market Timing and Accelerated Build -Out
The Knight Center closure creates a narrow window during which Downtown Miami risks losing convention
market share. CRA capital participation enables accelerated construction timelines that conventional private

financing cannot match. The difference between a 2027 opening and a 2028 opening may determine whether
Downtown Miami maintains market continuity or cedes ground to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Miami Beach.
10.12 Justification for $3 Million CRA Grant Contribution
Proportional to Economic Return: $386M in cumulative 10-year economic output. A $3.5M CRA grant represents
1.0%of that return.
Proportional to TIF Return: Under the Conservative Base Case (Scenario B), TIF reaches $1.98M over 16 years. Under
the Stabilized Performance Case (Scenario C), TIF reaches $2.9M. The primary investment case rests on $1.1M in
annual incremental tax revenue across all jurisdictions, totaling $11.1 M over 10 years.
Proportional to Job Creation: $15,873 per job created —below the QTI benchmark of -$24,000 combined public
investment per job.
Market Risk Mitigation: CRA investment directly mitigates the quantifiable risk of Downtown Miami losing
convention market share during the Knight Center transition. Each year of delay allows competing destinations to
capture client relationships that may not return.
Operational Viability: Positive NOI at stabilized occupancy confirms CRA participation is a one-time grant to
complete the build -out, not a recurring subsidy.
A $3.5 million CRA grant unlocks $38.6 million in annual economic output, 189 permanent jobs
concentrated in and around the Overtown/Park West CRA, $1.65 to $2.89 million in direct TIF over 16 years
depending on operational performance, $1.1 million in annual incremental tax revenue, and the preservation
of Downtown Miami's convention market during its most vulnerable transition period.
11. Qualitative Benefits
11.1 Market Stewardship and Continuity
Without mid -sized convention capacity in Downtown Miami during the Knight Center redevelopment, the
destination risks client relationship atrophy, market perception damage, and competitive displacement. The
Freedom Center directly addresses this risk.
11.2 Destination Enhancement
Live -Work -Play Integration: Seamless access to accommodations, dining, and events within a single 51-story mixed -
use tower.
• Connectivity Hub: Proximity to Brightline, Metromover, Miami Worldcenter, and PortMiami.
• Complementary to Miami Riverbridge: Events that start at the Freedom Center may grow over time into larger
conventions served by the future Miami Riverbridge facility.
11.3 Community and Cultural Benefits
• Art and Cultural Fairs: Gallery -style configurations support art fairs, cultural exhibitions, and community celebrations.
• Educational Programming: Academic summits and professional development conferences support lifelong learning
and workforce development.
• Civic Engagement: Space for community forums and public engagement events.

12. Conclusions and Recommendations
12.1 Summary of Findings
The Freedom Center at Gale Miami Hotel (Floor 7, 42,000 SF) will generate substantial economic benefits at
stabilized operations under the Moderate scenario: $18.9 million in annual direct visitor spending; $38.6 million
in total annual economic output; 189 FTE jobs supported annually; $10.9 million in annual labor income; $1.1
million in annual incremental tax revenue; and $1.6 to $2.9 million in cumulative TIF over 16 years depending
on operational performance. The complete $7.5 million build -out is funded by a one-time $3.5 million CRA
grant and $4 million from Sixth Street Miami Partners, with no additional private capital required.
12.2 Recommendations
• Approve the $3.5 million CRA grant contribution to fund the build -out of Floor 7.
• Negotiate community hiring commitments targeting Tier 1 (Overtown/Park West CRA) and Tier 2 (Inner Downtown
Core) residents for direct employment.
Target stabilized operations at the Moderate scenario (60 event days) as the planning baseline, with infrastructure
supporting the Strong scenario.
Coordinate with the GMCVB for destination marketing support and client referrals from displaced Knight Center
business.

This analysis relies on the following key assumptions: (1) Attendee spending patterns align with GMCVB
international visitor benchmarks, consistent with convention industry practice; (2) Average event attendance of
500 with 2.5-day average duration, based on facility capacity analysis; (3) Multiplier effects remain stable over the
projection period; (4) No material changes to the Miami -Dade tax structure. Attendance and utilization
projections are order -of -magnitude estimates appropriate for feasibility analysis. Actual results may vary based on
market conditions, operator execution, and facility positioning. The Gale Conference Center (20,000 SF, 13
rooms) is a separate facility and is not included in this analysis.

Note: Cap rate adjusts from 7% to 6% beginning Year 6 (Strong performance), reflecting reduced operational risk of a proven
stabilized asset. Actual Property Appraiser valuations may vary. Scenario B ($1.98M) is the reliable planning floor; Scenario C
($2.89M) represents achievable upside. Actual results are likely to fall within the range of Scenarios B and C.
TIF in Context: The Full Fiscal Picture
Direct TIF increment represents approximately 15 to 20% of the Freedom Center's total annual fiscal contribution.
The full incremental benefit includes Convention Development Tax ($157,000 annually at Moderate scenario),
state sales tax ($681,000 annually), county surtax ($114,000 annually), catalytic property value effects throughout
the district, and market preservation value during the Knight Center transition. These figures are calculated on the
incremental basis of 60% out-of-town attendees only. CRA investment evaluation should weight the full fiscal
benefit picture, not TIF alone.

Dear Chairwoman King and Board Members:
On behalf of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), I am pleased to express
our support for the proposed development of the Freedom Center at the Gale Miami Hotel &
Residences that will provide a conference and convention center within the hotel by repurposing
vacant space.
The Gale Miami Hotel & Residences is conveniently located behind the Freedom Tower and in
the years to come will be cattycorner to the proposed Donald J. Trump Presidential Library.
As President & CEO of the GMCVB, our mission is to promote Miami -Dade County as a
premier global destination for leisure, business, meetings & conferences, and family travel.
This area of Downtown Miami contains iconic hospitality assets such as Bayside Marketplace,
the Kaseya Center and the Freedom Tower, attracting domestic and international visitors as
well as group meetings that contribute to our local economy.
The proposed Freedom Center represents an investment in the future growth of Miami and
aligns with Miami -Dade County's tourism and economic development goals. Enhancements of
this nature help ensure that our destination remains competitive by offering meeting space for
smaller conferences and conventions which generate meaningful economic benefits for our
community and supports jobs across hospitality, construction, and other related service sectors.
For these reasons, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau fully supports the
proposed development of the Freedom Center at the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
David Whitaker

Dear Honorable Chairwoman Christine King and Members of the
Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency
Re: Letter of Support — Proposed Freedom Center Gale Miami Hotel &
Residences
On behalf of the Miami Downtown Development Authority (Miami DDA),
we are pleased to submit this letter expressing our strong support for the
proposed development of the Freedom Center, a conference and
convention center located within the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences in
the heart of Downtown Miami.
As the agency charged with advancing economic development, business
growth, and long-term competitiveness in Downtown Miami, the Miami
DDA has witnessed firsthand the rapid transformation of the district.
Downtown's residential density, office population, tourism activity, and
global visibility have increased dramatically over the past decade. This
growth has been further accelerated by Miami's emergence as an
international business hub and global destination for major sporting,
cultural, and business events.
Today, Downtown Miami faces a structural shortage of modern, centrally
located, flexible, and affordable conference and convening space. As
visitor volumes and business travel continue to rise, demand has outpaced
supply —particularly for venues that are accessible, scalable, and
financially viable for mid -sized conventions, industry summits, nonprofit
convenings, cultural exhibitions, and business gatherings.
This gap is further intensified by the anticipated closure of key legacy
venues, including the James L. Knight Center and MANA Wynwood, which
historically served as anchors for conferences, cultural programming, and
large-scale gatherings. Without new capacity coming online, the City risks
losing convention bookings, visitor spending, and associated economic
activity to competing domestic and international destinations that are
actively investing in flexible, purpose-built convening infrastructure.
The proposed Freedom Center at the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences offers a timely, strategic,
and cost-effective solution to this growing market demand. By leveraging existing vertical
infrastructure within an established 51-story mixed -use tower, this project creates a new, centrally
located conference asset without the delays, costs, and land constraints associated with ground -
up development.

From an economic development perspective, this project directly advances the core mission of
the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA by activating underutilized space, generating year-round
economic activity, expanding the tax base, and creating sustainable employment opportunities.
The Freedom Center will drive consistent visitor flows that support surrounding hotels,
restaurants, small businesses, cultural institutions, and service providers —while creating jobs in
hospitality, operations, logistics, event production, and facility management, many of which are
accessible to nearby residents through direct transit connectivity.
Importantly, this project addresses Downtown Miami's growing need for affordable, accessible
conference space that supports inclusive economic growth —ensuring that nonprofits, small and
mid -sized organizations, startups, cultural institutions, community -based organizations, and
emerging industries have access to high -quality convening facilities that are not limited exclusively
to luxury or premium -priced venues.
By repurposing vacant raw space in a prime downtown location, the Freedom Center represents
a highly efficient model of urban redevelopment —maximizing public benefit while leveraging
existing private infrastructure to deliver long-term, sustainable economic returns.
For these reasons, the Miami Downtown Development Authority strongly supports the request for
SEOPW CRA funding to facilitate the build -out and completion of the Freedom Center. This
investment will catalyze new economic activity, strengthen Downtown Miami's convention and
business tourism ecosystem, advance community revitalization goals, and position Overtown and
the urban core as integral beneficiaries of Miami's continued global growth.
We appreciate the Board's thoughtful consideration of this proposal and stand ready to
collaborate in advancing this strategic opportunity for Overtown, Downtown Miami, and the City
of Miami as a whole.
Sincerely,
Christina Crespi
Chief Executive Officer/Executive Director
