A development group plans to leverage the Live Local Act to obtain administrative approval for a significant six-tower project in Miami’s West Little River area, aiming to create the largest residential development proposed under Florida's new affordable housing legislation. Situated at 8400 NW 25th Ave., the site spans nearly 12 acres and will feature 3,233 residences across towers ranging from 26 to 37 stories. Currently, the area is primarily composed of single-family homes.
Designed by Arquitectonica and named Holland Park, the project includes two nine-level parking garages providing 4,249 spaces, over 57,000 square feet of retail space, and a standalone single-story amenities building. Renderings showcase buildings in slate hues with white vertical elements, emphasizing a visually striking aesthetic. The development will also boast a central plaza with two pools, tennis courts, and a spacious park area. Street-facing retail storefronts will extend across four city blocks.
The project necessitates the removal of 140 single-story residences, a church, a maintenance shop, and a one-story office building. Backed by 27th Ave Hollandpark Ecoresidences LLC, the development capitalizes on the Live Local Act, enabling developers to sidestep local zoning restrictions by dedicating at least 40% of units to workforce housing. Rents for these units are capped at 120% of the area median income, translating to affordable options such as a studio apartment renting for $2,385 per month.
Additional amenities encompass a multi-sport room, gym facilities, outdoor gym, juice bar, club room, business center, library, party room, influencer suite, cigar room, sports therapy room, and game room. The developer has committed to employing at least one small business, two veteran-owned businesses, and three certified women- or minority-owned businesses as subcontractors.
