A rare chance to own a piece of Biscayne Boulevard. Morningside Place is a 0.88-acre corner assemblage at the southern gateway of Miami's MiMo Historic District, one of the city's most characterful and walkable corridors. The vision is already drawn and the approvals are well advanced, so the next owner steps in past the slowest part of the journey. Two designed paths are in play on the same approval base. The first is a lively mixed-use concept: two MiMo-styled buildings with 31 residences above ground-floor shops and dining, joined by a sky bridge and crowned with a shared rooftop terrace. The second is a streamlined all-commercial plan for those who prefer a simpler program. Either way, the architecture and site plan carry the same approvals forward. Designed by DBLewis Architect with land use counsel from Bercow Radell Fernandez & Larkin, the property offers roughly 335 feet of Biscayne frontage, an easy stroll to the neighborhood's celebrated restaurants and cafes, and verified T4-O zoning. A genuinely flexible canvas in a district where opportunities like this rarely come available. Offered at $8,500,000. All information is from sources deemed reliable but is not guaranteed and is subject to buyer’s independent verification. Entitlement, permit, zoning, and waiver approvals are advanced and active, with certain final sign-offs and reviews still in process and subject to change.
