Griffin, CMU and a $1B Wynwood exit reset the map
Carnegie Mellon confirmed a $3B gift from Ken Griffin on Sept. 30, with $2B for a CMU Miami campus on a 35-acre Wynwood site, subject to regulatory approvals. The same day, The Real Deal reported that Griffin closed a purchase of the Mana Wynwood complex for more than $1B. CMU has not confirmed that its site is the Mana property, and press and CMU acreage figures differ, so we list the link as reported.
Over the past month, Mana bought a Fort Lauderdale office tower for a reported $89M, Related Ross bought the Boca Raton Innovation Campus, and Houlihan Lokey opened a West Palm Beach office.
Read on for two items per market. Every item links to its evidence row on MiamiStats.
