Plans for New Residential Project in Miami Announced

In Miami's Flagami neighborhood, south of Miami International Airport, a developer has plans for a brand-new residential development.

At 5645 Southwest Eighth St., The Richman Group and its affiliates have planned Parkview, a nine-story structure with 120 units, a rooftop pool and amenity deck, and parking for around 194 vehicles.

The proposal was recommended for approval along with a few recommendations by the city's Urban Development Review Board.

According to Marissa A. Neufeld, an attorney for the developer, the land is divided into three parcels and is bordered to the north by an alley, to the west by an existing commercial complex, to the south by Southwest Eighth Street, and to the east by Southwest 56th Avenue.

Ms. Neufeld noted in a letter to the city that the project will contain a combination of parking for cars and bicycles and that the land is near several forms of public transportation and a major downtown thoroughfare, Southwest Eighth Street.

Behar Font & Partners are the project's designers.

The property is a terrific location, and although it's a smaller development it has some extremely fascinating elements, Behar & Font's Javier Font told the board. According to him, the property features stunning views, including J. Fritz and Frances Gordon Park, which is directly south and across the street.

According to Mr. Font, the structure will have a smaller scale, a lot of glazing, and larger balconies, giving it a more horizontally linear appearance. A fully functional gym, a clubroom, a lobby, and coworking spaces will be available on the ground floor. The pool deck and some residential units are on the ninth story.
