The 60,238 SF site offers the unique possibility to develop one of South Florida’s most ground-breaking projects. There has only been a select amount of land deals in the past few years available in this neighborhood, and it is not common to find anything over 20,000 SF on average. With its desirable size and mixed use zoning, one can develop over 300 units with a retail component. Wynwood has experienced some of the highest rental rates of any area of South Florida, exceeding $3 per SF, and retail rates exceeding $100 SF. As the area continues to grow and evolve into a world renowned destination, it is forecasted that both residential and retail rental rates will keep increasing. Major landmark projects such as the Florida Brightline and Society Wynwood, as well as major groups such as Goldman Sachs, Zafra Bank, Thor Equity and Related Group investing here, it is positioned to keep growing at an unprecedented rate.

    MIAMI RIVER FREIGHT IMPROVEMENT PLAN Plan Recommendations the Plan Identified a Wide Range of Improvement Actions to Facilitate Freight Mobility in the Study Area

    Study Area Context The primary study area encompasses the western third of the navigable section of the Miami River, which per federal regulation extends 5.5 miles inland from Biscayne Bay. The channel was dredged to a depth of -15 feet mean low water in a project ending about 10 years ago. That dredging helped facilitate marine shipping movements by removing accumulated sediment. The larger shippers responded with some larger vessels, whose movements must consider tidal movements in their passage of the river. The marine shipping industry is mostly situated on the western reach of the federally navigable section of the river, west of NW 27th Avenue, in unincorporated Miami-Dade County. Per the Miami River Urban Infill Plan, this western reach is designated with mostly marine industrial land uses; the middle section accommodates numerous boatyards and allows certain mixed- use redevelopment; and the eastern section accommodates the dense, high-rise development of downtown Miami and the Brickell district. The marine industrial land use designation along the river and the industrial uses along the Downtown Lead railroad spur along NW 23rd Street are important to the river shipping interests and industrial tenants, given escalating land values across the county. These development pressures are moving upriver, from the Wynwood district east of I-95, along NW 36th Street, and from the Palmer Lake area on the west side of the river near Miami International Airport. Preservation of the marine industrial land uses is essential to the continued viability of the “working river”. There are 11 low-level lift bridges and five high-level fixed-span bridges along the navigable river.
