The city of Miami’s Planning Zoning & Appeals Board is set to vote on two big projects: the nearly 1,000-unit Midtown Park development and Miami-Dade County’s long-delayed overhaul of the historic Coconut Grove Playhouse.
In Midtown, the developer, a joint venture between Carlos Rosso’s Rosso Development and Alex Vadia’s Midtown Development, are seeking a major use special permit for the 5.3-acre assemblage at 3055 North Miami Avenue.
That would allow for 924 residential units, nearly 50,000 square feet of office, 107,000 square feet of retail space, more than 1,100 on-site parking spaces, and the maneuvering of trucks in the public right-of-way for off-street loading, according to the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting.
Rosso and Midtown teamed up with Proper Hospitality on the first tower, which is called Midtown Park Residences by Proper. The planned 28-story building will have 288 condos that will range from studios to three-bedroom units, plus penthouses with private rooftop gardens and pools. The building will also have 40,000 square feet of amenities.
Fortune Development Sales is leading sales and marketing of the project, which is expected to be completed by 2028. The units start in the mid $600,000s.
The entire project is valued at more than $2 billion. Ultra Padel & Wellness will operate a racquet and padel club.
Last fall, the Miami Urban Development Review Board approved the master plan for Midtown Park.
Coconut Grove Playhouse
Miami-Dade County is also seeking approval from the city’s planning and zoning board for five exceptions and four waivers tied to the controversial restoration and expansion of the historic playhouse at 3498-3500 Main Highway in downtown Coconut Grove.
About a year ago, a partial collapse of the third floor of the building halted demolition work on the historic property, but construction later resumed.
The exceptions would allow for a community facility and commercial space, including office. The waivers would expand the size of the project, including increasing the maximum lot coverage to 62 percent from 50 percent and decreasing green space to about 15 percent from 30 percent.
City staff recommended approval of resolutions for both projects with conditions.
