Part of a 1980s-era strip mall in Miami-Dade County could be replaced with housing and retail. Longpoint Realty Partners has filed a pre-application for a five-story mixed-use venture that would offer 176 apartments occupying the mid-rise’s top four floors.
The one-bedroom and two-bedroom homes would measure 700 to 950 square feet each; communal amenities would include a second-story interior courtyard, fitness center, and swimming pool. There would also be 22,800 square feet of ground-floor retail and a 116-spot parking garage. Longpoint Realty Partners purchased the 181,558-square-foot shopping mall for $49 million in 2023.
According to CBRE, the site itself measures 17 acres and was almost completely leased at the time of purchase. About 30,000 square feet of Trail Plaza will be demolished to make way for new construction. That space currently hosts a Party Depot.
Miami Lakes-based Alberto O. Gonzalez Architect PA designed the venture. An affiliate of Longpoint Realty Partners filed the pre-application, which aims to seek community feedback before moving forward with a formal application. It does not appear as though developers are seeking approval under the Live Local Act, which would allow developers to bypass this phase.
The South Florida Business Journal notes that the mixed-use venture would occupy “1144 S.W. 67th Ave./Ludlam Road, at the corner of Southwest 8th Street/Tamiami Trail” in Miami, FL.
