Developer Planning 7,500 Units In Little River, Will Build New Tri-Rail Station

Swerdlow Group is advancing plans for a massive project in Little River, according to Multi-Housing News.

The development will include approximately 7,500 residential units, with a mix of affordable, workforce and market-rate housing.

The affordable units will be higher end and look like market rate apartments, similar to Swerdlow’s recently completed Sawyer’s Walk, the developer told Commercial Observer. Units there each have floor to ceiling windows and washer/dryer units.

The Little River development will also have 602,562 square feet of retail space, and 205,076 square feet of outdoor green space open to the public.

A Tri-Rail station will be built by Swerdlow, in order to save on parking spaces and to help unclog the roads, the report said.

Arquitectonica and PlusUrbia are designing the new development.

Whie the location is a little far from urban core at least they are adding in the construction of the trirail station so that people have an option other than car to get around

I just wish they’d focus on filling in the urban core rather than creating sprawl.

I don’t think this is considered sprawl when it’s high density with transit options

No, “sprawl” is every time the county chips away at the UDB. This is the epitome of infill.

Does the tri-rail even run on those E-W running tracks by 75th ST?

Man do I hope you’re wrong. This is the scale we need to be thinking at to even come close to making a dent in affordability!

most likely it is going through. Might take years to finish but Swerdlow wouldnt buy all that land if they werent going to move forward. With Live Local Act most likely being utilized and they are adding a train station at the development it would be a good redevelopment opportunity.

This is never going to happen? There are many projects like this coming to Miami and many cities across the usa.
América is changing and cities are becoming very dense.

This is on the east west tri-rail Iris connector? It looks too far north.

7500 units?! Is that a typo?

Rendering looks more like 750.

I love this project trust me. But could potentially cause induced demand?

Hopefully these are conceptual renderings, and the actual buildings aren’t cluttered-window boxes which look like French social housing.
