Fontainebleau Miami Beach celebrated the opening of the Coastal Convention Center on December 11, 2024. Fontainebleau Development Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Soffer was joined by Fontainebleau Miami Beach executives, community dignitaries, local officials and notable VIPs for the event, which was marked with speeches, tours of the convention center, and a ceremonial ribbon cutting.
“When we bought Fontainebleau Miami Beach back in 2005, we purchased this piece of land with it because it was always part of our plan to build something amazing here,” said Soffer. “After two years of design and construction, we are excited at the possibilities of what the Coastal Convention Center will bring to the community.
The ceremony, which took place in the Coastal Convention Center’s Pearl Ballroom, symbolizes the vision for growth and community investment held by Fontainebleau Miami Beach as the resort nears its 70th anniversary on December 21, 2024.
Designed in partnership with Fontainebleau Development’s EVP of Design, John Rawlins, Jeffrey Beers International and Nichols Architects, the Coastal Convention Center spans five stories and 45,000 square feet, including a 7,000-square-foot rooftop deck. The convention center caters to both business and leisure events and is located just nine miles from Miami International Airport and 28 miles from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The venue will connect to Fontainebleau Miami Beach via a sky bridge, complementing the resort’s existing 200,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space.
