According to an article in the Biz Journal, as of December 2012, there are plans to build "Chinatown Miami-El Barrio Chino de Miami" with confirmed plans by an investor by the year 2015. The area has many ethnic Chinese and Asians who had "wanted" a Chinatown, but "did not know how to build it". The locations being considered include many areas including North Miami Beach, which is already home to many Asian establishments. The investor currently works as a consultant and is pursuing Miami's goals to become an "EB-5 regional center."
