Arriving from Israel in 1983, Moishe Mana grew a small moving business into GRM, a leading U.S. document storage company, before shifting to real estate with the 1995 launch of MILK Studios in repurposed New York warehouses. Since planting roots in Miami in 2009, he has amassed about 80 buildings in Downtown and 45 acres in Wynwood, fueling projects like the Nikola Tesla Innovation Hub and Flagler Studios. Key moves include the March 2026 $110 million purchase of the 31-story One Downtown tower and the January 2026 $33.5 million acquisition of 1.6 acres in Wynwood for a potential 27-story mixed-use tower. A $150 million refinancing of 56 Wynwood assets in 2025 underscores his strategy to develop pedestrian corridors bridging North and Latin American enterprises. Mana Common positions the Flagler District as South Florida's nexus for tech startups and cultural events.
