Developer Gets Utilities For 515 Apartments In Overtown

A developer has signed a utilities deal that will allow a new residential building in Overtown.

Miami-Dade will supply water and sewer utilities to the new building, known as Culmer Village. The utilities agreement was completed last week.

According to the agreement, Culmer Village will include:

  • 515 apartments

Plans approved by Miami’s UDRB in December 2023 showed there will be 628 parking spaces.

An affiliate of The Richman Group is the developer.

Behar Font is the architect.

A demolition permit was issued for the site in April.

Overtown is Miami’s hidden gem that only a few have been discovering lately. Soon you will all regret not to have invested in Overtown.

Overtown prices and Miami World Center amenities will only last so long before everyone discovers the potential of Overtown

It will be a long time before this boom you’re talking about happens. I truly believe Allapattah will also be next. Little Havana is definitely a hidden gem; walking distance to Brickell and downtown.

I think Little Havana will be before Allapattah given its closer to Brickell and Downtown. It also already has a walkable Main Street area that just needs to be extended

I heard a guy say that Overtown was the place to invest in 1997.
And Overtown had a lot of potential in 1960 too.
What changed?

Whats with the horizontal boxes? Why can’t we just design more typical 5-over-1 forms??

7th Ave is currently a wasteland all the way from the river to 36 St. This is great news.

This height but hopefully more of a Mediterranean style in Little Havana

You obviously don’t know but let me inform you. Havana is a truly architecture gem albeit, it’s falling to pieces. However, most of the buildings in Havana aren’t mediterranean style.
Leave that for Coral Gables. I think what could make Little Havana stand out would be more mid century, art deco, neo classical and Art Nouveau styles.

I respectfully disagree there is plenty of Spanish style in Little Havana too although not as prevalent as Coral Gables. There should be a mixture of different styles. I am just advocating for not putting up cookie cutter boxes in Little Havana. They should build there but don’t destroy the history and doing a Mediterranean revival style would be a nice tribute to Havana, which is sadly, like you mentioned, falling apart.

Does each lease come with a concealed carry permit?

So what isn’t, an “ICONIC” box with a trypophobia parking pedestal?

saskatooner always mentions how this would be west of I95, but lets be honest, the big money developers own Miami, and the big pension funds and wall street own the big developers.

This is a great affordable housing project. So many are still needed. Hats off to anyone building 600+ units in a major metro.

What is a “big money” developer? Is there some sort of a cut off number where a “small money” developer turns into a big money developer? What is that number?
