166-Unit Apartment Building Proposed On Coral Way

Plans have just been sent to Miami’s Urban Development Board for an apartment building on Coral Way.

A gas station is currently on the property.

The 10-story project is proposed to include:

  • 166 residential units
  • 10,100 square feet of commercial
  • 283 parking spaces

The proposed number of parking spaces is exactly at the minimum required by the Miami 21 zoning code.

The developer is 27th Avenue & Coral Way LLC.

Anillo Toledo Lopez is the architect.

The UDRB hearing is scheduled for March 15.

Beautiful! Great height, aesthetic and density for vibrant local business businesses and residential areas along Coral Way.

Coral way is a perfect candidate for a street car. The density is there, it’s well activated, and it’s a perfect connector between Brickell and coral gables. Not to mention that historically, there literally did use to be a streetcar running down that road.

I’ve always thought the same thing. Unfortunately, it would require closing one or two of the traffic lanes which will never happen. Or take down the trees in the middle which will cause that are to lose some of its charm.

There used to be one there.

The old trolley lines were replaced by the median with trees I believe. That’s what happened in Coral Gables.

The street cars should be repainted with rainbow colors or something brighter, chevron patterns. The Citi Bikes in West Palm Beach have pride flags all over them, and it’s cool. I understand the colors relate to UM, but they look dull, faded and ridership would increase with more modern and fun color schemes.

Road diets are a thing. If they will remove a lane for bike lanes or wider sidewalks, certainly they can for quality transit.

We should build Main Street bypasses, divert traffic to adjacent avenues and turn the main avenue into more sidewalks and bike lands, it’s a win win for everyone.

I hope we never remove those trees. They are the best natural feature in Miami. Banyon trees should be protected.

Brickell has a building like this on SW 2nd Avenue. Love when developers round the main corner of the low-rise along the avenue. It looks nice from street level and reminds me of Europe.

It’s so frustrating to realize how we’ve become so divorced from human-scale development in the United States that when the average citizen sees a human-scale development they instinctively think of Europe; despite the fact that the entirety of the U.S. was once like that not too long ago.

So it is a parking garage with some housing.

We should just say we have a parking shortage in Miami and not a housing shortage, since we seem to be convinced we need more parking spaces than units everywhere.

Multiple people live in some of those units, thus they have more cars.

Not every unit will be occupied, and not everybody will have a car, and in this case even have 2.

there is commercial in the building so i’d expect to more parking. However, it doesnt say the number of 2 vs. 1 bedroom units so hard to tell if this is too much parking

The developer cannot do anything about it. “The proposed number of parking spaces is exactly at the minimum required by the Miami 21 zoning code.”

Can we volunteer to write a Miami 22?

Meanwhile, you’ll tell us a Melo box with a giant parking pedestal at a Metromover stop is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

It’s a nice building, so what’s your point? There are Arquitectonica s**tboxes all over South Florida which look exactly the same and are not part of the same development.

More buildings in this style and scale along Coral Way, as well as Flagler and 7th and 8th Streets, please.

Beautiful! 10/10. Looks like that extra parking is for all the retail on this building plus surrounding shops. Which is better to put that parking needs in this building than having a surface parking lots in coral way!

I wish they expanded the RTZ zoning along SW 27th Avenue. I think that avenue should be prepared for some sort of transit expansion.

It should stay village like, like Coconut grove, surrounded by the two homes that are replacing single family homes.
