Accel is making a great neighborhood even better. Within a 15-minute walk, we will have Accel, TAMCO, Oculus Surgical, Keiser University, the Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital, the Cleveland Clinic Florida Research and Innovation Center and a Florida International University Biochemistry Laboratory.
