New World Center
Rooftop Garden & Donor Lounge
Rooftop Garden
A panoramic vista of Miami Beach from Biscayne Bay to the Atlantic Ocean makes the rooftop garden an ideal location for chic receptions, high-end dinners, private parties and intimate performances.
Projection of video or corporate logos on the outdoor “cube” and ornamental lighting of the garden can further augment your guest’s evening experience. Custom cut sun sails can be deployed overhead to provide shade for guest comfort during a beautiful brunch or luncheon.
Cultivating Culture with Nature
The New World Center’s rooftop garden is one of the most distinctive event venues available in Miami Beach, offering a window to the city's natural beauty. Although the Miami Beach Botanical Garden is a few blocks north, your guests can also enjoy a diverse collection of local and exotic plants on our rooftop along with a breathtaking view of the city. To the east, beautiful SoundScape Park sits just below, leading the eye toward the expansive Atlantic Ocean where on a clear night the moon rises from behind Miami Beach’s iconic Art Deco hotels.
Intimate and Expandable
Designed by Raymond Jungles with local indigenous flora, the gorgeous rooftop garden accommodates 250 guests standing or 160 seated. Several tree-topped planters with surrounding benches form nooks where lounge seating can create intimate spots for conversation.
