New workforce housing is coming to the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami.
A project called The Wyn Mood C is planned as a four-story building offering 72 apartments, with 20% of the units reserved as workforce housing.
Owner-developer Wyn 107 Development LLC plans the new building of about 53,401 square feet at 107 NW 31st St.
The city’s Urban Development Review Board recommended approval with two conditions: Relocate the building’s signage closer to the entrance, and integrate the roof canopy structures and their supporting columns.
The project is designed by Modis Architects.
The site consists of a total of 21,450 square feet (0.49 acres) and now holds three one-story residences that are to be demolished.
The developer is requesting waivers to the zoning code to allow:
- A 10% increase in required lot area from a 20,000 square feet maximum to 22,000 square feet, due to the nature and size of the lots.
- Additional lot coverage up to 80% for a building that is four stories and provides affordable and workforce housing. The applicant is requesting an increase in lot coverage from 60% to 76% by providing 15 units proposed as affordable housing.
- Reducing the parking ratio up to 30% within a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area or within a transit corridor.
Along with a rooftop swimming pool with seating, trellises, restrooms and other amenities, the building is to have 38 parking spaces.
The vote recommending approval was unanimous.
