Tony Goldman, Developer and Urbanist, has Passed Away

Tony Goldman was a true visionary, he will be missed.  If you aren’t familiar with Tony’s work, please check out this fantastic tribute video to him. Tony was “The Man”. His legacy will live on.

The following comment was made in the Miami Herald comment sections.

He was the modern American master of urban revitalization — a once in a generation avant courier who painted renewal and prosperity on blighted real estate with the seeming ease, instinct and originality of a new world Michelangelo. His epitaph is beautifully articulated in the historic, cosmopolitan urban brands he reinvented and reinvigorated: Soho … South Beach … Wynwood … Center City. No one on the planet better understood the logical beauty of rock bottom and the joy of renewal. History and academia owe Tony Goldman a place — no, a space — worthy of an American pioneer. “

This pretty much sums up Tony Goldman’s accomplishments. Beautifully written.

Our condolences to his family.
