Pauldine France joins MANA as Vice President of Leasing. France brings more than 15 years of commercial real estate leasing experience, including the development of the Virgin Trains Miami Central Terminal, as well as transformative projects in Wynwood, Aventura and Surfside. France's mandate is to support MANA Group's development goals using real estate to nurture fashion, technology and the arts in Miami.

Michelle Abbs joins MANA as Director of Mana Tech. Abbs has more than a decade of experience working with tech startups in the Miami area and is an expert in technical education. Prior to joining MANA, Abbs was Director of Babson College's WIN Lab where she led the program's goals to develop South Florida's tech entrepreneurship and innovation landscape. Her expertise is expected to be critical as MANA Tech seeks to attract unicorn technology companies to Downtown Miami and establish a global hub for the tech sector.

The first project is the renovation of a 40-year-old 13-story, 166,000-square foot building located at 155 S. Miami Ave., which previously housed the federal immigration offices. The building is being entirely reimagined with the help of Zyscovich Architects, which helped create MANA's master redevelopment plan. Construction is scheduled to begin by Q3.

Moishe Mana and The Mana Group are real estate developers and owners in the process of transforming Miami from a tourist destination into a vibrant, diversified city with art, fashion, technology, and a global trading hub.
