The Buzz on Büro.

As the saying goes, “the best thing about Miami is that it is very close to the US.” One one hand, we didn’t hesitate to list the city as as one of the eighteen Latin American tech hubs you should know. On the other hand, its leading startups have little to envy to their New York-based counterparts when it comes to providing their staff with cool workspace.
Interestingly, they also do it “Miami style,” adding a touch of contemporary art and graffiti to their walls, taking opportunity of cheaper rents to expand, and of course, enjoying amazing views. These assets could well become a key selling point for the city’s tech scene, which is keen to attract talent to keep on growing.
“If we want to stay relevant as a community – if we want to remain economically viable as a community – we need to do everything we can to cultivate and grow our technology sector,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez declared ahead of its participation in The Americas Venture Capital Conference (AVCC), which TNW was also attending as part of Miami Innovation Week. Here are the best startup office spaces we discovered during our stay, in alphabetical order:
Büro Miami in Midtown
Burö Miami (pronounced “bureau” as in French) opened its first co-working space in Midtown in 2010, and is now gearing up for the opening of a new “Urban Workspaces” location in the Sunset Harbor neighborhood of South Beach later this month.
The space we have visited is home to around fifty companies, which can rent open space desks or private offices on a month-to-month basis, depending on their current needs and budget. Pricing varies between $249/month for a seat and $1,199 for a private suite.
Beyond all facilities you may expect, it is worth mentioning that Büro is very well designed and displays contemporary artwork on its walls.
