Coral Gables

Coral Gables:
The “City Beautiful”

Founded in the 1920s by developer George Merrick, Coral Gables is one of America’s earliest planned communities. Merrick designed it with Mediterranean-inspired architecture, lush landscaping, and iconic landmarks such as the Venetian Pool and Biltmore Hotel. Coral Gables continues to be a place where historic preservation and community values meet, providing a welcoming environment for businesses, residents, and visitors alike.

In Coral Gables, Raquel Regalado’s leadership demonstrates her respect for the city’s historic character and proactive approach to modern needs. She has focused on public safety initiatives, such as funding Crime Watch and implementing traffic-calming measures, benefiting Coral Gables residents. 

 

Her work on infrastructure improvements, including the rehabilitation of Matheson Hammocks Bridge, supports Coral Gables’ mission to remain a “City Beautiful.” Regalado’s dedication to Coral Gables is rooted in her belief in blending preservation with practical enhancements, ensuring the community remains safe and attractive for residents and visitors.
