Whole Foods Market has been issued a construction permit for a large new store near Midtown Miami, allowing work to begin.
The construction permit was issued this morning (August 19). It was first applied for on January 22.
According to the permit, a total of 50,812 square feet will be built out at an estimated cost of $7 million.

There will be hundreds of potential customers living right above the store at Forma, with 588 apartments nearing completion.
Whole Foods will be located at the base of the new 39-story Forma tower, seen nearing completion last month:
