I find it interesting how the building was a multi- culture place. Tons of South Americans and Israelis. Read some prominent South Americans. I’m totally unfamiliar with the Miami area but it must’ve been a very popular / nice area where this building was to attract the international Jetset
Miami is extraordinarily multi-cultural, and the vast majority of visitors to Miami Beach have no idea what the city is really like. All they see is what MB officials derisively call "The Entertainment District," which is a tiny beach area 3 blocks wide and 10-12 blocks long.
In Miami-Dade County generally, we have large populations from every Caribbean and Central/South American country. In particular, we have huge numbers of people from Cuba (obviously), Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Nicaragua, and Argentina. Roughly 70% of our population are Hispanic.
Miami Beach is not the only area in the county with a large Jewish population, but it is the heart of the Jewish Community. The middle and northern areas of Miami Beach are the home of large synagogues and a very active community. Surfside is a very small town, only about 10 blocks long from the ocean to a waterway called Indian Creek, and it also has a large and very active Jewish population. The beach area is mostly older condos, and the interior is mostly single family homes.
The area of Miami Beach immediately
south of Surfside is semi-officially called North Beach, but the local nickname for the area is "Little Argentina" because it has a large Argentinian population. Just to the
north of Surfside is Bal Harbour, which is a more exclusive affluent community -- again heavily Jewish. And north of Bal Harbour is Sunny Isles Beach which has a very large Russian population and lots of big hotels and newer condos.
So yeah, Miami is an extremely diverse place.
