Related Group, along with ROVR Development and BH Group, have landed a hefty $76 million loan to begin construction on District 225, a 37-story Airbnb-branded condominium development planned for a 15,000-square-foot site at 225 North Miami Avenue in Downtown Miami. Construction funding came from New York-based lender Madison Realty Capital to build the 394-foot-tall tower, which was approved by city planners in April 2021. The project is designed by Sieger Suarez Architects with interiors by the Meshberg Group, and will include 343 fully-finished and furnished units – all of which are sold out. The construction of District 225 will be managed by Craft Construction Company LLC. according to pending permits, and is projected to completed in 2024.

Site work is reportedly underway, according to The Next Miami, who recently spotted a pile driver, excavator and mobile crane at the site. Construction permits were filed on November 15, 2021 and remain pending. However, the developers hired a MTCI Private Provider to review the permit application and expedite the process. With the loan now secured, it is likely for permit approvals to follow soon after. YIMBY expects vertical construction to progress relatively quick considering the project does not have a parking garage, and the repetitive slab dimensions will allow for the structure to top off faster than usual. Parking for residents and short-term guests will be at the Miami Parking Authority garage across the street.
