WYNWOOD WALLS GARDEN: an art oasis in the heart of Wynwood

Wynwood Walls Garden will create open space filled with art on the
edge of the famous Wynwood Walls and Wynwood Doors

PlusUrbia Design, in collaboration with Goldman Properties, designed the first major urban open space in the heart of Wynwood since the Miami-based studio’s award-winning Wynwood Revitalization District was enacted by the Miami City Commission. Wynwood Walls Garden will create a new gathering and art space on 0.43 acres adjacent to Goldman’s already world famous Wynwood Walls and Wynwood Doors.

PlusUrbia designed the space, which transforms vacant land at 260 Northwest 26th Street, to invite the visitors to immerse themselves in artistic expression. The Garden’s design serves to enable the display of great street art by incorporating sight lines that allow visitors to experience murals from various vantage points.  The angled benches, sloping planters and other elements create a perfect stage for artistic Wynwood "selfies."

"PlusUrbia worked to transition Wynwood from a neglected warehouse district to 24-hour, multi-purpose, mixed-use center for the arts. As a warehouse district, Wynwood had no open or green spaces. We are thrilled to be working with the Goldman Family – which once again has improved the livability and human scale of the district by providing a much-needed urban relief with a welcoming dynamic, artful space.” – Santiago Eliaschev, of PlusUrbia.

Wynwood Walls Garden has opened for Art Basel Miami. The artistic garden will remain open after Basel, providing an oasis in the heart of the thriving mixed use Arts District. The Garden, a showcase for the Walls of Change installation,  features repurposed shipping containers, planters that also provide seating,  artistic concrete and a natural textures.

PlusUrbia Design’s Wynwood Neighborhood Revitalization District recently earned the American Planning Association’s 2015 Great Neighborhoods Award. The innovative plan supports Wynwood’s creative industries, with mixed-use development, walkable streets, transit corridors and open space. Goldman’s Wynwood Walls Garden is the fruition of the NRD’s intent to add open space to the world-renown arts District -- born of former industrial zone that had none.

Wynwood gets a fresh coat of paint during Miami Art Week

Goldman debuted the Wynwood Walls in 2009, which has since spilled over into the neighborhood

The streets of Wynwood were packed on Tuesday evening with artists and visitors at the launch of Miami Art Week.

Wynwood Properties held a VIP opening event for Walls of Change, the debut of new murals at the Wynwood Walls. Artists Case, Crash, Cryptik, el Seed, Ernest Zacharevic, Fafi, Hueman, INTI, The London Police, Pichi & Avo, Magnus Sodamin and Alexis Diaz attended the commissioning of 14 new large-scale installations and murals.

Jessica Goldman Srebnick, CEO of Wynwood Properties, hosted the event, which opened to the public at 11 p.m. It was also a launch party for artist Peter Tunney’s exhibit “Wynwood Exposed” and artist Magnus Sodamin’s “Calm Before the Storm” exhibit and installation.

The Walls of Change event is part of Goldman Srebnick’s “Wynwood 2.0,” a slew of projects that includes breaking ground on an eight-story, 430-car garage with retail and office space. Also on the horizon: a mixed-use office, retail, residential and hotel project on Northwest 2nd Avenue between 27th and 28th Streets.

The Wynwood Walls, at 2520 Northwest Second Avenue, debuted in 2009, and has since spilled over into the Wynwood Doors. Goldman acquired the doors in August for $12 million, but erected the doors with the permission of the landowner in 2010.

Goldman’s father, Tony Goldman, has been credited with reviving Wynwood. Graffiti and more street art was being installed on a number of buildings this week, including Wood Tavern, which sold to a New York-based partnership in August for $12 million, and the building at 2545 Northwest Third Avenue, which is leased and managed by Metro 1.
