Doral

Until the 1950s, the city of Doral was only a patch of swampland sitting between Northwest 36 Street and Northwest 74 Street and Northwest 79 Avenue to Northwest 117 Avenue. Real estate pioneers Alfred and Doris Kaskel purchased the 2,400 acres of land for around $49,000 with the plan of building a golf course and hotel resort. The Doral Country Club opened in 1962 to much fanfare. It quickly became one of Dade County's hottest spots, with guests using shuttles to get from the beach to the country club for a day of golf. In the 1980s, the Kaskels' grandson developed Doral Estates and built Doral Park in collaboration with the Lennar Corporation. Young families began to build investment properties or vacation homes in the area, followed by a growing number of permanent residents. In 1989, the West Dade Federation of Homeowner Associations convinced county officials to implement robust development policies for Doral, including more lighting, better landscaping, and better roads. Many major corporations have also chosen to locate their head offices in Doral. Some of these companies include Carnival Corporation and its subsidiary Carnival Cruise Lines, Amadeus North America, AAXICO, and Perry Ellis International.
