Miami is Brilliant
Driving through downtown Miami, the Solitair Brickell building, designed by Stantec, caught my eye with its unique façade and resilient design. This building, where I've previously collaborated with Stantec, stands as a beacon of climate resilience. It's equipped to handle frequent flooding, a common issue in the area, with its lower floors dedicated to parking. The building's orientation and environmental considerations also contribute to energy efficiency. This experience made me reflect on Florida's stance on ESG and the importance of recognizing such innovative designs in capital markets. ESG isn't just about being 'woke'; it's about smart, sustainable business practices that protect investments and communities, something that Solitair Brickell embodies perfectly.
