Rare, fully-entitled development site on the fast-densifying western edge of Miami's Wynwood corridor. 1027 NW 29 Street is a ±10,687 SF T4-O parcel that is site-plan approved for an eight-story, mixed-use building with 50 residential units over ground-floor retail — designed by JCD Architect, Inc. with a lobby/leasing area, bike amenity, and a landscaped rooftop with a signature mural. With entitlements already secured, a buyer skips the longest and most uncertain phase of development and moves directly toward permitting and construction — a compelling basis at $1,450,000, roughly $29,000 per approved unit. The approved 120% AMI rent structure supports projected stabilized residential income of approximately $1.5M per year, and T4-O zoning allows a wide range of uses including multifamily, townhomes, live/work, retail, and mixed-use. Major upside: the adjacent lot at 2900 NW 10 Avenue is also for sale — an income-producing 4-plex on a ±13,500 SF corner — allowing a buyer to assemble ±24,187 SF and either phase two projects or combine the parcels to expand the development and add structured parking. Minutes to Wynwood, Midtown, the Design District, Edgewater, and Downtown Miami, with direct I-95 access.

This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath plus den residence offers 1,790 square feet of light-filled living space in the desirable Botanica tower, with a south-facing corner exposure overlooking the lush garden courtyard and fountain below. Located in Key Colony, one of Key Biscayne's most coveted beachfront communities, with private beach access and unmatched island living. Amenities include: private building pool and BBQ area, 12 championship tennis courts, fitness center, kids' playground, dog park, 24-hour controlled access security, on-site beauty salon/spa, and Golden Hog gourmet market, all just steps from private beach frontage with beachfront café. The unit includes two covered parking spaces just steps from the lobby. Currently furnished, with furniture available at a low additional cost, or the owner is open to removing it if the buyer prefers an empty unit. Unlike most units in Botanica and most Key Biscayne condominiums, #265 is one of a limited number of "Specified Units" allowing legal short-term rentals with no minimum lease period. The advantage most apartments on the island simply can't offer, with real income potential in a market where this flexibility is scarce. Don't miss your chance to own one of Key Biscayne's most exclusive addresses. Move-in ready and ideal for a full-time resident, seasonal owner, or investor.
