Developer Closes On Health District Site Where 27-Story Apartment Building Planned

The developer planning a 27-story apartment tower in the Health District has completed the purchase of the property, according to a press release.

Congress Group, in partnership with Peakhill Equity TS, Inc. paid $16 million for the site.

There will be 380 multifamily units, the release said.

Construction is planned to begin in the first quarter of 2024, with completion in 2027, the developer told The Real Deal.

In December, plans were submitted to the UDRB for the residential tower. Previously, plans had been submitted for an office tower, which was cancelled.

The UDRB filing showed the project will include an 8 level garage with 590 spaces.

The Civic Center Metrorail station is a five minute walk from the property.

Not that the old one was great either but the new one already looks dated.

Kind of an awkward site, but I’ll bet it will fill up soon. We should all be cheering for housing within walking distance of rapid transit and/or employment centers and this meets both criteria. 100% AYE.

the old design was much nicer, but they probably ran out of money with all that glass. I appreciate they tried to keep the diagonal element at least

Will be highly amenitized and accessible. No need to commute from Kendall anymore and River Landing is too far to walk from. Will fill up with dr, nurses, and med students

Kendall is a much nicer and safer area, and Doctors renting these 3k/ mo apartments is laughable. My doctor at UM Hospital lives in Gables By The Sea.

This is one of the absolute worst location for an apartment building…. Sandwiched between the dolphin and the health district…

Even if I worked there, I’d rather take the Metrorail down to Kendall/Dadeland area–it’d be worth it to have the nicer location to live in.

Good for you. The market has clearly dictated a different conclusion.

Wrong—check the rents in Kendall vs Allapattah.

Wrong, check the rents in this area, in the Health District and River Landing. They are all higher than Kendall.

^^easily verifiable—new towers in Dadeland rent for as much and more than new apts around the health district. You either work for this developer or are clueless on how to do simple google searches.

The views of the new bridge and downtown from this location will be stunning.

The Fabulous posters on this don’t want to hear the word Kendall. Soccer moms and minivans scare the heck out of them.
