Gunster shareholder Miguel Diaz de la Portilla was recently interviewed by Miami Today in connection with the American Dream Mall project that he has been closely involved with.
The American Dream Mall, a proposed megamall and entertainment complex targeted to rise in Northwest Miami-Dade, is now expected to be completed by the end of 2026. Diaz de la Portilla notes that a new design is underway for the project, consisting of 70 percent entertainment and 30 percent retail space.
"The plan was almost 100% under roof," Diaz de la Portilla states. "Now, in the reconceptualization, we're going to have many open space areas and we are looking at more of an entertainment component than a retail component."
Miguel Diaz de la Portilla focuses his practice on local government law, particularly land use and zoning and government procurement. With decades of experience as a land use and zoning attorney in Miami-Dade County, Miguel represents major developers in securing government approvals for large scale residential, commercial, mixed use, and/or retail projects before various municipal and county governments. He is also a skilled civil litigator who has represented clients in matters before state and federal courts and an array of administrative bodies.
