Dear Supporters and Community Members,

Our petition has now reached over 675 verified signatures — a clear and growing signal that residents, neighbors, and members of our community care deeply about protecting the Art Deco Historic District.

Over the past week, I met with a Miami Beach Commissioner to present your concerns and supporting documentation. This issue is now on the radar of city officials.


But today, I need to share something more urgent.

Despite this strong and visible community support, there are ongoing discussion between the board of 1500 ocean drive and the developer around this project that appear to be advancing without full transparency and without a clear vote from the residents most directly affected.

 

This raises serious concerns.

When a project of this magnitude — with potential structural, environmental, and historic impact — is being considered, residents deserve:

Full visibility
Clear communication
And a meaningful voice in the decision-making process


Instead, many are left asking:

👉 Why is such a critical decision not being openly discussed with all residents?

👉 Why is there no clear vote on a matter that directly affects our homes and safety?

This petition represents more than numbers.

It represents a community that is paying attention — and expecting to be heard.

We respectfully call for transparency, accountability, and proper resident involvement before any decision is made.

If you haven’t shared this petition yet, now is the time.
