MIAMI 2030: The Master Plan to Redesign the City (feat. David Martin)

David Martin (Terra) sits down with Bryan Gorrita for a wide ranging conversation on how South Florida is evolving and what it will take to make growth work for everyday residents. In this episode, David shares his background, how Terra became one of the region’s most active development firms, and why he’s focused on building walkable, urban communities across Miami Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. We also dig into the toughest issues shaping 2026, such as affordable housing and the missing middle, Live Local workforce and market rate housing, transit oriented development, expanding Metrorail vs. rapid bus, and how we incorporate schools and essential services as the urban core densifies. David also gives updates and perspective on major local topics including the Miami Seaquarium site, Watson Island’s future, Coconut Grove’s long term direction, and how migration and global capital continue to influence Miami’s real estate economy.
