Plans have been filed to redevelop a 0.71-acre assemblage near the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Metrorail train station in Brownsville, Miami-Dade County. Designed by Miami-based architecture firm Modis Architects and developed by WN Development, LLC, led by Claudio Nigro, the proposed 7-story development would replace an existing one-story structure located at 2390 Northwest 62nd Street, between Northwest 24th Avenue and Northwest 23rd Court. The location is currently designated for commercial land use and falls within the boundaries of the Model City Urban Center mixed-use corridor, while the building would offer 1,876 square feet of retail space and 105 dwelling units, with 47 surface parking spaces for retail and residential purposes.
The building design incorporates contemporary architecture with playful frame placements that add depth and movement to the facade. Score lines and a refined color palette, accented with additional materials, further enhance the building’s aesthetic. The street-level retail and amenity spaces are activated by locating residential units above ground level, promoting pedestrian walkability. Added architectural elements and proposed landscaping will further enhance the interior and exterior spaces, resulting in a comprehensive and attractive improvement to the property.
