PRIME HEALTH DISTRICT LOCATION—Directly adjacent to the Jackson Memorial / UM Health System campus, one of the largest medical complexes in the Southeast, ensuring built-in demand for both residential and retail uses. EXCEPTIONAL ZONING FLEXIBILITY—CI-HD designation permits residential, retail, hospitality, office, and educational uses all by right, with virtually no restrictions on use mix — a rare combination in Miami 21.

FULLY REMEDIATED, SHOVEL-READY SITE—Formerly an automotive facility, the property has undergone complete environmental remediation by the current owner. Full documentation is available during due diligence, eliminating a common risk factor associated with infill redevelopment. IRREPLACEABLE INFILL SITE—Vacant, shovel-ready parcels of this zoning classification in Miami's urban core are extremely limited, with surrounding land largely built out and institutionally controlled by the hospital system.
