Neology Life Development Group (Neology), led by Lissette Calderon, has officially topped off construction of “The Julia,” a 14-story, $100 million residential tower at 1625 Northwest 20th Street that will deliver 323 one- and two-bedroom apartments to Miami’s Allapattah neighborhood in downtown Miami in February 2024. The development, design, and construction team members, including JAXI Builders, Inc., Behar Font & Partners, interior designer designBAR, and landscape architect Witkin Hults + Partners, gathered on Friday, March 31, 2023, to commemorate the milestone in construction.

The Julia is situated in the heart of Allapattah, just a short walk from the main entrance to Jackson Memorial Hospital. This historic neighborhood is home to Miami’s Health District and is adjacent to Wynwood. Allapattah has become popular in Miami, featuring well-known cultural institutions like the Rubell Museum and Superblue and various new businesses, restaurants, and nightlife spots. The Julia is also close to Neology’s first Allapattah apartment community, No. 17 Residences, which opened in May 2021 and filled up quickly. Neology began construction on their third Allapattah community, “Fourteen Allapattah Residences,” in August 2022, providing 237 apartments and 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail by early 2024.
“We are thrilled to be approaching our goal of introducing The Julia to Miami – offering one-of-a-kind, curated living experiences with cutting-edge amenities, spectacular city skyline views, and design features to appeal to a diverse cross-section of today’s urban renters,” said Lissette Calderon, President, and CEO of Neology. “There is incredible demand for high-quality housing in downtown Miami thanks to the more than 50 companies that have relocated to or expanded in Miami in the last year.”
Inspired by Miami’s original real estate visionary, American businesswoman Julia Tuttle, The Julia will embrace a “tropics-meets-metropolis” aesthetic combining elements of Art Deco with 1950s-style glam. Interior common areas will feature neoclassical elements such as brass accents, wood details, and colorful mosaics alongside bright, botanical patterned wallcoverings and other fun, punchy colorful elements for a mood that is romantic, sophisticated, and timeless.
The Julia, a pet-friendly property, will offer a variety of one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging from 600 to 1,000 square feet. Each apartment will have floor-to-ceiling windows, 9-foot ceilings, walk-in closets, balconies, energy-efficient stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, European-style kitchen cabinets, and in-unit washers and dryers. The ninth-floor “Sky Lounge” will feature a resort-style pool deck with shaded gardens, and cabanas, an indoor/outdoor club lounge with a gourmet kitchen, a wellness center with virtual fitness, and a starlight dining terrace. Additional amenities include co-working spaces with private offices, a dog park, spa, children’s play area, high-speed fiber optics throughout the building, 15,000 square feet of street-level retail space, and carefully selected artwork adorning both exterior and interior spaces.

The property is conveniently situated just a short distance from the Civic Center Metrorail Station, the University of Miami Health System, Jackson Memorial Hospital, and Miami-Dade College Medical Center. Both Brickell and Downtown are easily accessible by car or public transportation, offering numerous employment opportunities, dining and shopping options, and popular attractions like Marlins Park, American Airlines Arena, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Perez Art Museum Miami, Frost Museum of Science, and the new Brightline commuter rail station connecting Miami to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and eventually Orlando.

Neology’s current ownership portfolio consists of 1,200+ apartments recently built or under construction in Miami’s urban core, with another 1,600 apartment units in the predevelopment phase and a pipeline of 2,000 additional units in South Florida and beyond.
