About Us

Formed in 2011, the Town Square Neighborhood Development Corporation (“TSNDC”) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and independent entity that oversees the development of Miami’s emerging Arsht Center neighborhood in a manner that enhances the Center’s pioneering role in building Miami’s cultural and entertainment center.

The TSNDC took its first action by selecting Cesar Pelli, the world-renowned architect behind the Arsht Center design, to handle the master plan for the development of the Arsht Center District. The appointment was made possible through the awarding of $300,000 in grant funding from ArtPlace — a national initiative in concert with private foundations, including the Knight Foundation, aimed at revitalizing America’s cities by making the arts the center of economic development.

Working in partnership with neighboring communities, the TSNDC plans to have an active role in overseeing the development and redevelopment of the district by advocating for best solutions as infrastructure is developed; addressing future Arsht Center expansion needs; and supporting the Arsht Center itself as a catalyst to improve the livability of the surrounding urban neighborhoods through cultural programming and entrepreneurial business ventures.
