Norman Braman

About

Norman Braman launched his auto ventures in the 1970s by acquiring a Cadillac dealership in Tampa in 1972 and expanding to Miami in 1975, steadily growing into a powerhouse offering brands like BMW, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Bugatti along Biscayne Boulevard. Now 92, he oversees Braman Management's operations across multiple states, cementing its status as a South Florida automotive leader since his relocation from Philadelphia. His latest ambition reimagines the 2060 Biscayne Boulevard campus with Arquitectonica-designed 60-story residential towers, an 11-story garage integrating showrooms and service bays, and pedestrian-focused urban enhancements in Edgewater. Beyond business, Braman's family foundation supports medical research worldwide, and his pivotal role in establishing Art Basel Miami Beach earned the city’s tribute of 'Norman Braman Way.'
