Citadel’s planned office tower in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood will probably cost around $2.5 billion, according to founder and CEO Ken Griffin. Originally it was supposed to cost $1 billion. Griffin spoke to Bloomberg’s Francine Lacqua on Monday at a Citadel Securities conference in New York.

This guy is as fake as a banker… why is he hyping up Miami when the city has no diversity in culture and food, lower gdp per capita than the national avg, companies moving in without employees but just parking their money in buildings, etc… it is vibrant in Brickell though but the interior of all homes in Miami suck balls because the kind of people that move to Miami won't appreciate a good quality designed interior so they just add bunch of cheap glossy white materials.

In an interview, Ken Griffin was asked what his favorite work of art was. He replied that it was Pollock's Blue Poles and that he offered the Australian Museum hundreds of millions of dollars, although without exact information. Does anyone know how much this offered was more or less?

Miami is becoming a really great city. The areas that these buildings are planned for, were crack addict parks 10 years ago. Florida, for the longest time, was the "Land of the newly wed, and the nearly dead" (a very mean-spirited adage). Where us white people walk, the streets seem quite safe!! As for the poor areas of Miami…………..well, there are videos of those area here on YT

there are barely any employees working in offices in brickell and traffic is already too much for daily commuting. miami is a good place for work from home.

The ONLY reason real estate increased so much in Florida is people from the northeast like Griffin moved there which inflated the market. All is going to take is one massive hurricane with storm surge and people will be asking why did we move here- all it takes is one. Multi billionaires like Griffin can just shrug it off and live in one of their mansions around the country but for most people it will wreck them financially and they will never recover from it.

The median price of a condo in Miami dropped 6% last year. It looks as if this year it may drop by a similar percentage. Griffin — surprise — is clearly lying about the Miami. It’s one of the few large cities in the US that actually repels those under 35. Last year, the largest group of people leaving Miami were under 35. The largest incoming group were over 65. The primary reason are jobs. Most young people leave for cities where they can have a career in a job that advances them, which is the reason most state for leaving Miami.
Also, Griffin was a strong supporter of Trump. The reason that Griffin’s tower has significantly cost more is because of Trump’s immigration policies. In other words, Griffin is getting what he strongly supported.

Price of gold and cost of real estate are not unrelated. Price of gold is the measure of inflation.
