About us

Founded in 2025 as a non-profit neighborhood association, SoBe West was born of a desire to improve the quality of life for residents and local businesses. We are focused on the area from 5th Street to the Collins Canal, and from Alton Road to Biscayne Bay, and are inclusive to the people, businesses, and issues that impact living and working in South Beach.

We are 100% volunteer-run, and we welcome residents from all parts of Miami Beach to become involved. Our vision is for a vibrant and safe neighborhood that receives our share of benefits and funding from the City of Miami Beach.

Our mission

Our mission is to support a unified community where members can connect, collaborate, and contribute to making our neighborhood a vibrant and safe place to live and work. We will:

Re-energize our neighborhood community by engaging with residents, condominium associations, businesses and city officials.
Support our community with the right resources, as a place for our members to get what they need and connect.
Ensure our neighbourhood culture flourishes in all environments. Community spaces reflect our way of life, with food, music, art, wellness and fitness.

Our approach

Working with elected officials and local businesses advocating for community improvements, harmonious solutions, and responsible collaborative development.
Doing the work in the community, by regularly meeting with the power brokers to craft better decisions and making sure we, at all times, represent what is best for our beloved South Beach home.
Working with Condominium Associations as a Special Advisors to gather input on issues and voice of residents.
Building partnerships with businesses and residents: A vibrant community needs businesses, restaurants and amenities to enhance the quality of life. Businesses are partners, and as such, will have a seat at this Board’s table.
Value and gathering diversity of opinions.
Events and gatherings to engage as a community.
Provide Resources for Condominiums to deal with Special Assessments and other requirements and required building maintenance.
