Fourteen Allapattah Residences is located at 1470 NW 36th Street, in the heart of Allapattah, a historic neighborhood that includes Miami’s Health District and borders Wynwood. Allapattah has quickly become one of Miami’s most sought-after neighborhoods. It boasts a cluster of elite cultural institutions (including the Rubell Museum and Superblue) as well as many new businesses, restaurants, and nightlife establishments. It’s also situated just a few blocks from Neology’s first Allapattah apartment community, No. 17 Residences, which opened in April of 2021 and leased up in record time. Neology’s second Allapattah community, “The Julia,” inspired by Miami’s original real estate visionary, American businesswoman Julia Tuttle, will deliver 323 upscale apartments, also in 2024.

“We are incredibly excited to celebrate this significant milestone in the construction of Fourteen Allapattah Residences. This project is a testament to our commitment to enhancing the vibrancy of the Allapattah neighborhood and offering a truly exceptional living experience,” said Calderon. “With its upscale apartments, innovative amenities, and prime location, Fourteen Allapattah Residences is set to become a cornerstone of this dynamic community. We look forward to delivering a place that residents will be proud to call home in 2024.”

Fourteen Allapattah Residences is a two-building project with a 14-story building comprising 180 apartments and an adjacent five-story building with 57 apartments, including sought-after ground-floor walk-ups. It will offer studio, one- and two-bedroom units ranging from 450 to 1,000 square feet. Apartments will feature European-inspired cabinetry, quartz countertops, energy-efficient kitchen appliances, in-unit washers and dryers, energy-efficient AC and heating systems, and smart home technology adaptors. Lifestyle amenities will include a 10,000 square foot resort-style pool deck and clubhouse with poolside cabanas, curated original artwork, a multipurpose lobby, media lounges, , coworking spaces, conference rooms, an indoor and outdoor fitness and wellness center, with a yoga and cardio studio, a dog park with dog wash area, bike storage, virtual concierge smart package lockers, and a parking garage with electric car charging stations.

Fourteen Allapattah Residences is centrally located just two blocks from the Allapattah Metrorail Station, as well as in close proximity to the University of Miami Health System, Jackson Memorial Hospital, and Miami-Dade College Medical Center.  The property is just a short car or public transit ride away from both Brickell and Downtown, home to several large employers and dining and shopping destinations, along with popular attractions such as Marlins Park, American Airlines Arena, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Perez Art Museum Miami, Frost Museum of Science and the new Brightline commuter rail station connecting Miami to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Orlando.

Neology’s current ownership portfolio consists of 1,200+ apartments recently built or under construction in Miami’s urban core, with another 1,600 apartment units in the predevelopment phase and a pipeline of 2,000 additional units in South Florida and beyond.  Combined with 2,000 condo units previously built and sold, this represents a multifamily portfolio of nearly $2 billion.  Neology’s partner on this project is AOZA Fund, which has a history of creating long-term, sustainable real estate value in opportunity zones across the fifty states, and is directed by Dr. Peter Linneman, who has created a platform of successful real estate companies.

JV Agrees To Hero Housing Provisions In Aventura

icon aventura 1170x435

The City of Aventura recently passed a measure that would offer reduced rents for teachers and first responders so they can afford to live near where they work. They call it the Hero Housing provision.

The Related Group and BH Group are the first developers to build a project incorporating the provision. The city allows the developers to boost the project’s density by agreeing to the rent reductions. Also, the builders promised to provide 10,000 square feet of storage space in the parking garage for the city, pay $125,000 annually for 10 years for the city’s on-demand vehicle service and pay $1 million to offset the impacts of the development on the city.

The Icon Aventura project will be 26 stories and will go up next to the Aventura View office building. It would feature 275 condos, 20 Hero Housing apartments and 12,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor of the new 10-story parking garage.

Miami-based Arquitectonica designed the development. The two joint venture partners acquired the four-acre site for $51 million in 2022.

Wynwood Project To Include 54 Small Housing Units

Alchemy-ABR-BCP Wynwood LLC's 12-Story Project At 18 NW 23rd St. 1170x435

The booming Wynwood Arts District is preparing to welcome yet another mixed-use residential development with ground floor retail.

Owner-developer Alchemy-ABR-BCP Wynwood LLC plans the 12-story project at 18 NW 23rd St.

The development is to become home to 178 residential units, 13,498 square feet of retail uses, and parking for 183 vehicles.

The City of Miami’s Urban Development Review Board is recommending approval of the project.

The site is bounded by Northwest 23rd Street on the north, Northwest Miami Court to the west, Northwest 22nd Street to the south, and North Miami Avenue on the east.

According to the attorney representing the developer, the property is within the Neighborhood Revitalization District (NRD-1), the intent of which is to facilitate Wynwood’s transition from an industrial district to an active, diverse, mixed-use neighborhood.

He said to accommodate 178 residential units, the owner-developer intends to utilize the Wynwood Transfer of Development Density Program.

In particular, the project will utilize the Affordable Housing Payout option, which allows for a 50% density increase subject to a cash contribution to the Wynwood Public Benefits Trust Fund.

The 54 bonus units provided will each be less than 650 square feet, as required, he said.

The developer is requesting waivers to the Miami 21 zoning code, which would allow:

  • A 30% parking reduction, for property near a public transit corridor.
  • Parking within the mezzanine level. This parking level will be masked with the required art treatment for 100% of the impacted area of the façade.
  • A 10% increase in lot coverage, for the first through eighth stories. This waiver will allow for the lot coverage of 87.71%, up from the base permitted lot coverage of 80%.
  • Reduction in drive aisle width.
  • A 10% increase in floorplate area above eighth story.
  • A 10% increase in rooftop enclosed area. This waiver will allow for an increase from 20% to 22% of the rooftop to be enclosed space. The project includes a 3,812-square-foot enclosed rooftop area, which will accommodate resident amenity space as well as back-of-house functions.
  • Parking in the second layer on primary frontage, and the secondary frontage, and all of this parking area will be masked by the required art treatment.

Arquitectonica is the architect.

The motion to recommend approval of the project passed unanimously.

IQ Concept Developments, led by Samir Dichy, and Sagewood Corp. have proposed an 11-story apartment complex just west of the Aventura Mall in the Ojus neighborhood.

The developers, through affiliate 2530 NE LLC, filed an administrative site plan with Miami-Dade County officials for the 0.66-acre site at 2530 and 2540 N.E. 192nd St. It currently has a few single-family homes. The site is located just east of the Scheck Hillel Community School and near the Brightline passenger rail station.

The same developer submitted plans to erect 36 rental units there in 2020. Using the county’s new workforce housing density bonus, which mandates that 10% of the units be workforce housing, it now presented a larger bid.

The project, known as IQ Lofts Ruby, would house 92 parking spaces, some of which would have electric vehicle chargers, and 90 units totaling 94,216 square feet of leasable space. Coworking space, a game room, a fitness facility, and a pool on the third level are among the features.

Dichy said he plans to break ground on IQ Lofts Ruby in the second half of 2024. Construction should take around 18 months.

Clevelander Submits Plans To Turn South Beach Party Spot Into Housing

the clevelander affordable housing rendering_image courtesy of boardroom pr 1170x435

The owners of the Clevelander Hotel and Bar submitted plans to the city of Miami Beach on Monday to transform the famous party spot into a restaurant and 18-story housing development, shorter than the 30 stories first floated last month but substantially taller than other buildings nearby on Ocean Drive.

The proposal calls for a 200-foot tower above a ground-floor restaurant where the Clevelander currently stands. The project would have 137 residential units, 55 of which would be designated as workforce housing.

Monday’s submission comes more than six weeks after Jesta Group announced its intention to redevelop the Clevelander and adjacent Essex House hotel under Florida’s Live Local Act, which lets developers circumvent local height and density regulations if they commit to designating 40% of new housing units as affordable to renters earning up to 120% of the area median income.
