Wynwood, a haven for art enthusiasts, boasts a dynamic streetscape adorned with murals and eclectic shops. Overtown, steeped in African-American history, was once dubbed the "Harlem of the South," nurturing a vibrant cultural scene with landmarks like the Lyric Theater. SoWy aims to build upon this rich tapestry, attracting residents and visitors with a lively environment for living, working, and enjoying the arts.
