Demolition Proposal MiMo Vision The vision of the MiMo Biscayne Boulevard Corridor is to create a destination within the Miami area which acknowledges and preserves the unique character and history of Biscayne Boulevard and Miami Modern mid-century aesthetic. The outcome of this vision is to create a vibrant, colorful, safe, and diverse MiMo. The vision includes unifying, connecting, investing and appreciating the value of MIMO from a multi-scalar approach, highlighting the individual as well as a cohesive corridor to create a socially, economically and environmentally consistent and sustainable district. MiMo is envisioned as a retro-chic corridor filled with people, shops, restaurants, motels, and services. It is clearly defined and unique area within South Florida which celebrates its origins of motels and retro architecture while simultaneously encapsulating a romanticized, retro-chic attitude. We seek to recapture the hip beginning which MiMo enjoyed by celebrating its origins in modern terms.
