Design District leak detection — what makes this neighborhood distinct
Repositioned by Craig Robins and Dacra starting 2005 from light-industrial to luxury retail + design showroom district. Luxury retail global flagships (Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Dior, Bvlgari) + Institute of Contemporary Art Miami For leak detection specifically, this matters because: the dominant 1920s–60s historic + 2005+ luxury retail conversion + boutique residential infill construction era determines what failure modes we see most often, the mixed era — galvanized survivors + pex-a + smart-home water supply baseline tells us what we'll find behind walls, and Buckminster Fuller Fly's Eye Dome relocated to Palm Court as a neighborhood anchor shapes how repair coordination needs to happen. Luxury retail tenant standards + after-hours retail-clean-up scheduling + high-value tile + period-finish preservation.
