context_page_description: The Miami Design District is a neighborhood in Miami, Florida, United States and a shopping, dining and cultural destination. The Design District was redeveloped in the early 2000s under the direction of developer Craig Robins, president and CEO of Dacra, and L Real Estate with investment from General Growth Properties. It is home to over 130 art galleries, showrooms, creative services, architecture firms, luxury fashion stores, antiques dealers, eateries and bars.
  Historically a part of Buena Vista, the Design District is located south of Lemon City. It is roughly bound by North 36 St to the south, North 43rd Street to the north, West First Avenue to the west and Biscayne Boulevard to the east.
  The Design District is in the crossroads of many prominent Miami neighborhoods, with the artsy Wynwood neighborhood to the south, Lemon City and the historic 1920s Buena Vista neighborhood to the north, and the wealthy Upper East Side neighborhoods to the east. After decades of falling into disrepair, the Design District has been restored as a destination for the arts, design, and fashion.
