A new mid-rise hotel could meet the demand for tourist accommodations in Miami’s Calle Ocho corridor.
Developer 1630 Southwest 8 Street LLC wants to proceed with an eight-story hotel dubbed “Calle 8 Hotel,” which would offer 149 rooms on a half-acre parcel that operates as a parking lot. Recently, 1630 Southwest 8 Street LLC secured rezoning approval from city officials that changed the parcel from a T5-O to a T6-8-O zoning designation, which allows for a height and density increase.

Guests would have access to various on-site amenities, including a rooftop, resort-style swimming pool. In addition to the nearly 150 rooms and amenities, Calle 8 Hotel would host more than 17,000 square feet of commercial space and 128 parking spots. This averages to less than one spot per hotel room, but this isn’t abnormal for hotels on Calle Ocho. In fact, Calle 8 Hotel would be unique in that it would offer on-site parking.
Miami-based Modis Architects designed the hotel. The firm also designed Metro Parc, a massive mixed-use development that features both residential and retail space.
If brought to fruition, Calle 8 Hotel would occupy the 15,763-square-foot site at 710 S.W. 16th Ave, Miami, Florida, 33135, in Miami-Dade County.
