There is ample land for "infill" development within, immediately north, and immediately west of downtown and Brickell. I think we're going to see many of those types of projects in the near future -- including ground floor retrofits of office buildings in the Brickell area specifically, and residential conversions in downtown proper. Once you start getting that going at a good pace, the environment in Miami's core can dramatically become much less "suburban".

Hopefully this kind of development is more prefered in the future. If Miami needs a model for lowrise density, it shouldn't look very far. Miami Beach(South Beach) has already set the standard.
