ABOUT US The MBNA, founded in 2017, is a not-for-profit organization, organized pursuant to Chapter 617Florida Statutes, that represents Condominiums and Hotel members within the MidBeach area of Miami Beach, Florida. The area extends along Collins Avenue and Indian Creek Drive, bordered on the south by 24th Street and extending north just past 63rd Street.
As of January, 2024, the MBNA has a total of 64 Members; (45 Condominiums and 19 Hotels) representing over 12,000 units.
HISTORY The original "MidBeach Neighborhood Alliance" was founded in May, 2012, with the valuable assistance of Attorney Michael Gongora and FirstService Residential Management. Membership did not grow as expected so in September, 2015, the Alliance was inactivated. In early 2017, Michael Gongora met with Alicia Casanova, and they decided MidBeach representation was necessary so they re-organized as the "MidBeach Neighborhood Association" (MBNA), a non-profit community grassroots organization. On March 14, 2017, the organization was registered with the Florida Department of State with a newly elected Executive Board of Directors and established By-Laws.
