Developers Mariano Karner and Esteban Koffsmon propose a 206-unit apartment project in Goulds, amid a continuing development flurry in south Miami-Dade County.
Karner and Koffsmon, through their K2 Capital Group, want to build an eight-story building with a two-level parking deck with 243 spaces at 21220 and 21350 Southwest 115th Road and 21143 and 21281 Southwest 117th Avenue in unincorporated Miami-Dade, according to an application filed early this month.
Karner is chief operating officer at Miami-based global investment firm Bloom Ventures. Koffsmon is senior vice president of development and construction at Aventura-based development firm Château Group.
The pair are pursuing the Goulds project separately from Bloom and Château, and through the K2 Capital Group they founded to focus on affordable and workforce housing projects.
K2 Capital paid $4 million for the 2.6-acre site for $4 million last year, records show.
Karner and Koffsmon join a growing number of developers homing in on south Miami-Dade. The area, home to the municipalities of Homestead and Florida City, as well as neighborhoods such as Goulds, Princeton and Naranja, has ample buildable land that comes at a discount compared with sites in Miami’s urban core.
In Goulds, Taurus Development plans a 15-story, 159-unit workforce housing project at 11888 Southwest 220th Street.
Coinco Investment proposes three four-story buildings with 192 apartments, combined, with some units at workforce rents on the southeast corner of U.S. 1 and Southwest 232nd Street in Naranja.
In Princeton, Aconcagua wants to build an eight-story, 162-unit apartment building on the northwest corner of Southwest 248th Street and Southwest 128th Avenue in Princeton.
Terra, led by David Martin, proposes a 724-unit Live Local Act project on a portion of the South Dade Government Center in Cutler Bay. The development site is at 10710, 10750 and 10800 Southwest 211th Street.
Also, homebuilding giant D.R. Horton plans 190 townhouses and 57 single-family homes on the southwest corner of Southwest 344th Street and 193rd Avenue in south Miami-Dade.
Lennar, another homebuilding giant, wants to build 138 single-family homes on the southeast corner of Southwest 220th Street and Southwest 133rd Court near Goulds, as well as 54 homes on the southeast corner of Southwest 212th Street and Southwest 127th Avenue in Goulds.
