The development partner contributes planning, capital raising, and execution expertise. This structure maximizes value, reduces upfront capital requirements, and creates a shared-success model ideal for high-growth markets like Miami’s Edgewater and Urban Core districts. This rare development site is zoned T6-36A-L, offering a height of up to 36 stories with limited additional uses—all within the booming Edgewater district. Positioned between the vibrant Design District and bayside serenity, the neighborhood is undergoing massive vertical transformation—luxury high-rises, mixed-use towers, and branded residences are redefining the skyline. With this zoning and location, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for a residential or mixed-use developer seeking to capitalize on one of Miami’s most dynamic growth corridors.
