Housing Trust Group (HTG) and AM Affordable Housing are planning a senior housing community in Miami-Dade County. Our sources call the project “Doral Gardens.”
Current plans call for 224 residences in four three-story buildings; they would span one-bedroom and two-bedroom layout plans, measuring 710 and 888 square feet, respectively. Our sources indicate that housing would be limited to households earning within 60 to 80 percent of the area median income (AMI).
Communal amenities at Doral Gardens would include but aren’t limited to a swimming pool, fitness center, and walking trails. The pet-friendly community would also host a dog park. In addition to the residential aspect, Doral Gardens would feature about 10,000 square feet of commercial space; tenants have not yet been announced.

As noted, HTG and AM Affordable Housing are the developers. The latter is led by former Miami Heat player Alonzo Mourning. This isn’t the first time the developers have partnered together on a project; in October, the two celebrated the grand opening of Courtside Apartments II, a $58 million venture with 120 income-restricted apartments.
Miami-based Reprtwar designed Doral Gardens. Conceptual renderings show a garden-style community with an emphasis on accessibility, wellness, and independent living. Doral Gardens is estimated to cost $102 million to complete. The community has been proposed for a 9.7-acre site between Northwest 104th Avenue and Northwest 102nd Avenue, in Doral, Florida.

Nice to see more income-restricted apartments coming to Doral, with walking trails and a dog park included. A lot of working families out there could use a place like this.
