Legacy Hotel & Residences Breaks Ground

The highly anticipated Legacy Hotel & Residences finally broke ground today at the development site located at 942 NE 1st Avenue in the heart of downtown Miami. In attendance was Ken Russell (City of Miami Commissioner), representatives of Royal Palm Companies, and Peggy Olin (Owp Property representative).

Also known as Legacy Miami Worldcenter, Legacy is one of the newest pre-construction residential towers located in Park West Miami. The luxury tower will rise 50 stories at 668 feet tall making it the second tallest tower at Miami Worldcener. This tower sold out of all the units prior to the groundbreaking and is the first development to sell out prior to construction.

This mixed-use development will feature 312 residential units, 262 luxury hotel rooms, a business center, medical office, retail space, and rooftop atrium with all of the luxury amenities a 5-star hotel could offer.

The residences will include studio to 2 bedroom floor plans with 368 to 964 square feet options. The units will be fully finished and furnished. One of the unique things about Legacy is that residents will be able to rent their units without any restrictions. This includes utilizing a short-term rental company, whether its the Legacy's rental program, Airbnb, or VRBO.
