District 225 Approaches Completion, Bringing Sleek Modern Living to Downtown Miami
Located at 225 North Miami Avenue, the 37-story residential tower is approaching its final phases of construction ahead of its anticipated delivery later this year. Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects with interiors by Meshberg Group, the project is being developed by Related Group in partnership with ROVR Development and BH Group, with Craft Construction Company LLC serving as the general contractor.
Rising 394 feet, District 225 introduces a modern, curvilinear profile to the downtown core. Its structure—formed from reinforced concrete—is wrapped in white stucco and highlighted by horizontal bands of dark-tinted glazing with black framing. The design features wide, gently rounded elevations facing east and west, and sleek, flat façades on the north and south. The absence of balconies enhances its clean silhouette, allowing the building’s curved form and striped window bands to take center stage.
Recent site photos show major progress, including the removal of the construction hoist and ongoing detailing at the crown. The partially recessed rooftop level, designed to host an amenity-filled terrace with a landscaped pool deck and turf zones, is now visible from surrounding vantage points. As the cladding nears completion, the tower’s sleek lines and contrasting materials have fully come into view.
At ground level, work continues on the exterior finishes of the retail spaces and residential lobby. Construction fencing and scaffolding are still in place as crews focus on cladding installation and architectural detailing. Exposed openings in the façade hint at where future glazing systems and storefront installations will be integrated, signaling a vibrant pedestrian experience to come.
Once completed, District 225 will deliver 343 fully furnished studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. Designed with flexibility in mind, all units support short-term rental use, offering turnkey solutions for both end-users and investors. Homes are outfitted with smart home technology, contemporary finishes, and curated furnishings for a modern, comfortable lifestyle.
Residents will enjoy a wide array of thoughtfully curated amenities, including:
A rooftop pool deck with panoramic views of the Miami skyline
A state-of-the-art fitness center
An indoor basketball court and rock-climbing wall
A full-floor co-working lounge
Concierge services, smart access systems, and private storage
These offerings cater to the evolving needs of today’s urban dwellers, blending convenience, luxury, and flexibility in one vibrant downtown address.
Strategically located between NE 2nd and NE 3rd Streets, District 225 places residents within walking distance of MiamiCentral, the Metromover, and an expanding selection of retail, dining, and cultural landmarks. Its central location and flexible ownership model make it an appealing choice for both full-time residents and investors seeking entry into Miami’s dynamic short-term rental market.
As construction wraps up, District 225 is poised to become a standout destination in Downtown Miami’s ever-evolving landscape.
