“We’ll see how big Wall Street South becomes”, Griffin noted, hinting at a possible future where New York might be referred to as “Brickell Bay North” in the finance world.

Despite his bullish stance on Miami, Griffin still holds New York in high regard. Citadel retains a significant presence in the city, with plans for a massive skyscraper in Manhattan. Griffin also praised Florida’s pro-growth political environment.
“Miami, I think, represents the future of America,” he said.
