Two developers have recently secured approval for a high-rise mixed-use project in Aventura.
Cassa Residences will measure 17 stories above grade and replace a retail building constructed in the 1980s. Plans call for 208 residences, 12 of which would be designated as “Hero Housing,” which provides reduced rent for first responders and teachers at city-run charter schools. As part of the initiative, developers The Lojeta Group and Miami Off Center Associates would contribute $1 million toward the construction of a new local charter school, along with $1,000 per Hero Housing unit.

One-bedroom homes would be a minimum of 800 square feet. Other aspects of the project include 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and a seven-story parking garage with 456 spots. Floridian Development notes that the venture is expected to measure 174 feet tall, not accounting for decorative elements. Cohen Freedman Encinosa and Swerdoe Architecture designed Cassa Residences.
At the time of publication, our sources did not share an anticipated construction timeline, and developers had not yet submitted a comprehensive site plan. Still, despite uncertainty about the Live Local Act, investors are confident the project will move forward.
