The Major League Baseball (MLB) team Miami Marlins recently announced a partnership with The Cordish Companies (a US-based real estate development and entertainment operating company) to develop Miami Live! – a transformational entertainment development at the Marlins home venue – the LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida (US) – to further enhance the best-in-class ballpark experience.

The official opening of Miami Live! is anticipated for early 2026.

‘mlb.com’ stated that the development will include indoor-outdoor dining and entertainment spaces aimed at fostering the community and elevating the fan experience including curated year-round activations focused on community programing for all ages. With this development the Marlins and The Cordish Companies will create a thriving destination while also contributing to the local community by generating new employment opportunities across various sectors including skilled trades, marketing, sales, and operations.

The Miami Marlins are an American professional baseball team based in Miami. The Marlins compete in the Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League East Division. The team plays its home games at the loanDepot park in Miami, Florida (US). The franchise began play as an expansion team in the 1993 season as the Florida Marlins.

The 37,442-capacity LoanDepot Park (officially stylized as the loanDepot park and named the Marlins Park until 2021) is a retractable roof stadium located in Miami, Florida, United States. It is the ballpark of Major League Baseball’s (MLB’s) Miami Marlins.

Maryland (US)-based The Cordish Companies origins date back to 1910 and encompass four generations of privately-held family ownership. During the past 10 decades, The Cordish Companies has grown into a global leader in Real Estate Development, Gaming and Hospitality, Entertainment Management, and International Urban Planning and Development.

‘mlb.com’ further stated that through the introduction of Miami Live! the Marlins reaffirm their commitment to the South Florida community and the surrounding neighborhood by providing a premier destination for connection and entertainment. This project represents a significant investment in the community blending modern design with functional open spaces to create a dynamic environment where the residents and the visitors alike can unwind, socialize and engage in year-round programing.

Stated a delighted Bruce Sherman, Miami Marlins Chairman and Principal Owner, “It is with great excitement and pride that we announce the transformation of the West Plaza with Miami Live! – a communal space reinvigorated to bring joy and excitement to our fans and the neighbors with opportunities for engagement. This project represents our commitment to our community as we develop our ballpark’s campus to feature dining, entertainment and gathering options for everyone to enjoy. We are thrilled to have a well-renowned partner in The Cordish Companies who are industry leaders with a great reputation in South Florida as well as across the sports and entertainment landscape nationally. Miami Live! will be a vibrant hub to gather and create lasting memories for all who visit.”

Commented Caroline O’Connor, Miami Marlins President of Business, “Miami Live! is a significant milestone for our organization and we thank the Miami-Dade County and our partner The Cordish Companies as we make this vision a reality. Our neighbors and the fans are our priority and this investment is an important example of our commitment to providing an elevated experience for all at the loanDepot park. We look forward to the revitalized space becoming a beloved destination in our community.”

Observed Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade County Mayor, “The Miami-Dade County is proud to be an international epicenter for sports and entertainment. Now, the loanDepot park, the home of Marlins baseball and so many other great events, will welcome Miami Live!, a new development for year-round entertainment. This privately-financed project embodies Miami-Dade’s innovative spirit and at zero cost to the taxpayers will provide an even greater experience for the residents and the visitors alike.”

Added Eileen Higgins, Miami-Dade County Commissioner, who represents District 5, “Miami Live! in the heart of Little Havana (neighborhood in Miami) is a long-awaited dining and entertainment amenity to the ballpark campus. I’m so proud that this cherished neighborhood in my district will be the site for the residents and the guests to enjoy an open space with family and friends. I congratulate the Miami Marlins for this private investment that will bring jobs and an elevated quality of life to an emerging corridor near the Miami River.”

Asserted Anthony Rodriguez, Miami-Dade County Commission Chairman, “With the addition of Miami Live! to the loanDepot park the Miami-Dade County residents gain another great local destination for entertainment. The visitors to our vibrant community will also be able to enjoy this new spot whether they choose to attend a game, a concert, or are simply exploring all Miami-Dade has to offer.”

The project is developed and designed in partnership with The Cordish Companies, a fourth generation, family-owned company and one of the largest, most respected developer-operators in the United States.

Maintained David Cordish, Chairman and head honcho of The Cordish Companies, “The Cordish Companies is honored to have been selected by the Miami Marlins as their development partner in this dynamic vision for the loanDepot park. We are proud to join our partners as well as the Miami-Dade County to deliver a transformational world-class project that has lasting impacts on the community through job creation, economic benefits, exceptional new first-class amenities, and year-round activations and experiences. Miami Live! will become the living room for the community and offer a New Year-round gathering place for the locals and the visitors alike.”
