Wes Edens has money in professional sports teams, including esports, on multiple continents. His next bet is shuttling you between Miami and Disney.
When Wes Edens bought the Milwaukee Bucks in 2014, the team was 15-67. This year, they're a top seed in the playoffs.Wes Edens, founder of Fortress Investment Group and the owner of several professional sports franchises, thinks he's found the cure.
From the white sand of Miami's South Beach and its nearby cruise ship ports, through the palm-laden groves of Broward County, all the way up through Orlando and Disney is one of the country's most densely built metropolitan areas., and the Everglades on the other, the region is quickly running out of room to expand traffic lanes and keep up with an increasing population.
That's exactly what he's done with the areas surrounding Milwaukee's downtown Fiserv Forum arena, and hopes to recreate with its Downtown Miami Central station. The 3 million square-foot complex also happens to be on the site where one of Edens' heroes — Henry Flagler of the iconic 19th century Florida East Coast railroad — built the city's first terminal in 1896.
"It's a part of Miami that has been under invested versus the Brickell areas and some of the downtown stuff," Edens said."It's thick with development activity now and I think the train's been a big part of that."American cities like Denver are only part of the story. America, after all, has long struggled to make passenger rail a viable alternative to car-clogged highways — even in dense corridors like the Northeast from Washington D.C.
