The Little River District, a 63-acre mixed-use development in Miami’s Little River neighborhood, has recently secured unanimous approval from the Miami-Dade County Commission. Spearheaded by SG Holdings—a joint venture between Swerdlow Group, SJM Partners, and Alben Duffie—the project is expected to become the largest affordable housing development in county history. At full buildout, it will feature 5,700 residential units equipped with advanced smart-home technology and complimentary internet access, positioning the district as Florida’s first fully integrated smart home city.

NoMi Square, a 342-unit mixed-use multifamily and workforce housing development, has broken ground at 13855 NW 17th Avenue in North Miami. The seven-story project is being developed by Integra Investments through a public-private partnership with the North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (NMCRA), and is backed by a $65 million construction loan from Banco do Brasil Americas. Total investment in the development is expected to exceed $100 million.

Construction financing has been secured for Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach, a forthcoming 28-story oceanfront condominium tower poised to rise along the Broward County coastline. The $160 million loan was issued by Bank OZK to support the project’s vertical construction. The development is being led by Related Group and Merrimac Ventures in collaboration with hospitality brand Hilton, which will oversee residential operations under the Waldorf Astoria name.

Vertical construction is now underway at Forté Luxe, a boutique luxury waterfront residential development rising at 12450 Crystal Cove Place in Jupiter, Florida. Designed by Alfonso Jurado Architecture, the project is being developed by Forté Development and will yield 15 multi-level residences along a peninsula site bounded by the Intracoastal Waterway on three sides.

Construction has reached completion on Joule House, a new mixed-use multifamily development located at 2200 NW 1st Avenue in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. The eight-story structure has received its Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) and has begun welcoming residents into its 308 residential units. The project is developed by Fisher Brothers, with property management by Bozzuto.
