South Miami Moves Forward With $309M Transit Oriented Development

South Miami commissioners voted Tuesday to move forward with a redevelopment at its City Hall property.

The development will be transit oriented, according to a presentation to commissioners. It is a short distance from a Metrorail station.

There will be two phases to the $309m development. Combined it will have:

  • 70,000 square feet of civic space (6-story building with city hall, police, and library uses)
  • 670 high-end apartment (two 15-story buildings)
  • Approximately 28,000 square feet of active retail venues, including food and beverage outlets and fitness center
  • 910 parking spaces

13th Floor is the developer.

Just a couple of blocks down Sunset from the Sunset Place redevelopment. Quite a change for South Miami.

I love what is happening in South Miami! Now, we need to get the Sunset Place project approved, which is so needed. 18 years ago, when I first moved to Miami and lived in Coconut Grove, my family and I spent a lot of leisure time in Sunset Place. It is very sad to see what it has become since. Build, baby, build!

Too bad CocoWalk didn’t get the same kind of redevelopment proposal, instead getting the boorish redo today.

There seems to be a historic component to this project – can we get some information / coverage on that….?

As per the proposal: “Originally known as “The Community House,” the Sylva Martin Building is a one-story Masonry Vernacular structure located in the heart of South Miami. According to city historians, South Miami’s City Council passed ordinance dedicating land to a community center, early in 1935.” They plan on preserving and renovating into a restaurant.

It’s the old community center built in 1936.

After this development and the Sunset Place projects are built , the next step should be a Skybridge between the South Miami metro station to the Sunset place. That will be the icing on the cake.

All good, except the facade of the portion below the pool. What a mess…

Looks great. Hopefully their acceptance of this redevelopment extends to the proposed Sunset Place redevelopment. Every rail station in our metro needs more adjacent housing.
