“When downtown Miami’s historic Flagler District rises again, it will be home to Miami’s burgeoning tech sector,” said Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Mana Common, Albert Berdellans. “Miami is now a hub for the entire web3 industry, and we’re excited to showcase what that could mean for the neighborhood’s future.”
As digital arts and NFTs continue to see expansive growth and adoption, nft has now positioned itself at the forefront of web3’s cultural crossover with the art world, championing empowerment and accessibility for the new creative economy.

About Mana Common
Mana Common is a platform for neighborhood revitalization. We believe that truly integrated neighborhoods, where residents can live, work and play, are the wave of the future. As such, the divisions of Mana Common reflect the most fundamental elements upon which a community is built: Culture, Commerce, Technology, Real Estate, Agriculture, and Social Impact. The name, “Mana Common,” derives from our belief that our world is becoming more and more connected. Instead of focusing on our differences, our shared humanity gives us common ground, common decency, and common knowledge upon which a truly thriving ecosystem must be built.

This provides rapid, meaningful, permanent vitality for a neighborhood.
