David Beckham looks like he's taking his talents to Overtown. This is a rundown neighborhood on the north west part of downtown next to I-95.
The man behind the increasingly challenging mission of bringing a Major League Soccer franchise to Miami announced via statement on Friday the site is on 650 Northwest 8th Street, seven blocks east of Marlins Park and close to the Miami River. This should be GREAT for the real estate world down here!
Hi Marco, That is great news. Do you think there will be some urban renewal as a result of this?
Absolutely this is step #1
Yes, I think that's good news for property values and for realtors in your area.

Hi Marco. That is great news for that area. Money and attention should make it a winner.
Good morning Marco. Maybe the area will now get the shot in the arm it has needed for some time. Enjoy your day!

My guess is he'd improve just about any neighborhood in some way.

That is great news for the community. A new soccer stadium will certainly bring restaurants and clubs and related business to the area and housing will follow - it has worked in DC.

Both he is a businessman remember!
Lucky Miami, David Beckham should help bring some extra revenue to the local economy.

Yes but not on the field!
Great for the community at large, don't know about those under the bridge. They may be moving shortly...

That's fantastic. We got our soccer franchise in Orlando this year and the games have been nearly sold out. Plus many tourists attend the games.
