Tech Company Plans World HQ Expansion In Downtown Miami, With 4,000 Employees

A global technology company is planning to expand in downtown Miami with thousands of new high-paying jobs.

For now, the name of the company is being kept under-wraps as part of a job incentive application, under the code name “Project Xray.”

The company is described as a leading provider of software solutions for IT professionals.

It already has 820 jobs in Miami, which are expected to be maintained.

Starting in 2023, the company wants to add 3,400 new employees in Miami, at an average wage of at least $107,000. Employee benefits with each job will be $13,000. Hiring is expected to be complete by 2025.

The proposal also calls for the construction or renovation of 101,871 square foot of space for a world headquarters office in downtown Miami. The company already has 144,024 square feet of existing space here.

The total capital investment for buildout of the office is estimated at $16,299,360.

The company has applied for around $4.5 million in job and other incentives from Miami-Dade County, subject to verification of the commitments being fulfilled.

Miami-Dade commissioners are scheduled to have a hearing on the incentives on February 21.

Hands down best news of the day.
Glad to hear it didn’t go to Doral or Miramar. Even cruise companies have moved there. I don’t understand the logic but….

Views of the Palmetto or I-75 vs. Biscayne Bay and a gorgeous skyline not worth the savings.

If you’re including the financial district Brickell in downtown, agree. Northern downtown reminds me of midtown in NYC.

This is the absolute dumbest take I’ve read all week lol Nancy in accounting being happier about her view doesnt make up for $80 PSF+ rents, ESPECIALLY for larger space occupiers like cruise companies.

They aren’t excluding Miamians. Miamian stupidity excludes them. I’m happy we are importing 3,400 intelligent human beings! That’s how we change Miami for the better. 😂

And hopefully they bring their civic values with them. Miami can use not only more intelligence, but a lot more culture.

Great! We need more public improvements to infrastructure and community spaces. If that’s what it takes show us the dotted line… actually show us the improvements and we will have the money set aside on deposit.

Not for primary residences. SOH caps it at 3% or less increases. That’s not skyrocketing.

this is fantastic development…im sure one of many more announcements to come…but…while this is so very great to see… without meaningful IMMEDIATE relief to transit….this may all be meaningless if we cant provide quality of life …and our roadways cannot handle whats coming our way….

Give it a rest on transit, and embrace the good news without constant obsession on transit. If things were that bad, there wouldn’t be that much growth here. I agree, we need to constantly strive for better public transit, but welcome to a large growing City. We don’t live in Star Trek with transporters.

Ppl also don’t realize most the ppl who work/visit downtown area don’t stay with in transit routes, and it inconvenience them to try to ride transit when they have cars. There’s a lot of downsides to public transit that ppl don’t like to address. Now I’m all for public transit but it’s not for everyone!

It’s because we don’t have enough luxury development near transit routes, and we need to upgrade the transit system.

youre wrong about if things were bad there wouldnt be growth…..as long as developers make campaign contributions the elected leaders care nothing about roads and transit…so there will in fact be growth

Developers see bottom lines in the project not the big picture. We need an active civic community and leaders to keep an eye on the bigger picture.

I don’t people should give it a rest. People should be screaming. This city has promised rail lines to it’s constituents, started construction, and then just completely abandoned them. I’ve never seen something like that in another U.S. city and it’s a slap in the face to tax payers.

Anonymous

Rail lines cannot be delivered as promised without raising more tax revenue. The county (NOT the city) made promises it couldn’t deliver on. That’s the real deal.

Tax the cyclists too for their bike lanes.
7 months ago

Things are more difficult than it seems in a bubbling major metro area to expand public transit. It is much more expensive than you can imagine just securing public rights of ways. They also lose money indefinitely and require a constant subsidy from the taxpayers. I am not saying we shouldn’t invest in public transit, but people speak as if it is a simple as snapping your fingers.

We already do tax cyclists. They own the property above those lanes.

They hire alot of locals as well, I was one of the locals who got hired two years ago when a firm moved down here. The amount of money the employees will spend at lunch, dinner and catering supporting local restaurants will generate 4.5 million alone within a year.

Not sure about the details but it sounds like a good investment because the new workforce will become locals, buy property, pay taxes replenishing, and reinvest in new businesses.
