Miami’s Urban Development Review Board has unanimously approved 7737 Northeast 2nd Avenue, an unnamed 12-story mixed-use development in the city’s Little River neighborhood. Designed by ODP Architecture & Design, with Kimley-Horn serving as both the landscape architect and civil engineer, and developed by Little River Cedar Property Owner, LLC, an affiliate of Chicago-based developer Cedar Street, the 159-foot-tall structure will contain over 200,000 square feet of floor area. This space will include 188 residential units, approximately 7,668 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and 289 on-site parking spaces. Osborn Engineering is the structural and MEP engineer, while SLS Consulting is the life safety consultant.

The approved design skillfully interprets Miami’s architectural vernacular, infusing it with an industrial flair that marries the city’s vibrant spirit with a contemporary aesthetic. The structure is a modern interpretation of the city’s traditional typologies, exemplified by its refined geometry, a balanced palette of colors and materials, and the inclusion of industrial elements like exposed steel beams, raw concrete surfaces, and large windows. This blend creates a unique visual dialogue between Miami’s historic architectural roots and a bold, modern industrial sensibility.

With an elegant articulation of form, the building presents a commanding presence. Its façade is a thoughtful composition of neutral-toned stucco and expansive glass, accentuated by the strategic use of red stucco that adds a touch of warmth and character, particularly on the upper levels. Black balcony handrails on the neutral and red-toned elevations inject a sharp contrast, enhancing the design’s visual depth and contemporary feel. The pronounced perimeter columns stand out as a design feature, punctuating the building’s height and diffusing the mass of the shell superstructure. This interplay of color and structure nods to Miami’s rich architectural tapestry and a modern branding element that captures the eye.

In a departure from Mediterranean-style arches seen in the previous design, the ground level of the building adopts a more contemporary approach with rectilinear forms and storefront glazing. This modern reinterpretation lends the building a sleek and updated appearance, aligning with the clean lines and geometric precision that characterize the structure’s overall design language.
The visible side of the parking garage is effectively masked by a grid of reddish-hued panels, creating a cohesive visual link with the building’s upper sections. Positioned between pronounced concrete columns, these panels are patterned with geometric shapes that allow for ventilation and a glimpse into the structure while maintaining an orderly aesthetic. The garage façade’s interplay of light and shadow, provided by the recessed placement of panels, adds depth and a modern texture that resonates with the building’s overall design ethos.

Complementing the living spaces, amenities include a landscaped deck with a pool and spa, a fitness center with a sauna, and a suite of additional interior amenities for residents’ enjoyment.

Delmas North LLC is one step closer to breaking ground on an 80-unit apartment complex, thanks to the security of a $16.5 million construction loan.

Our sources indicate that the Delmas North Apartments will measure six stories above grade, offering homes measuring 557 to 1,057 square feet each. As an affordable housing development, residency will be available to people earning up to 120 percent of the area median income (AMI). At the time of publication, the HUD noted that the average household income in Miami-Dade was $79,400.

While there would be no major amenities to keep construction and operation costs low, there will be 141 parking spots, about 1.76 per unit. The South Florida Business Journal notes that Delmas North LLC secured approval for the project in early 2023. The Miami-based firm purchased the vacant 1.9-acre site from Pinecrest Rehabilitation Center for $675,000 that same year.

The Delmas North Apartments will require 77,971 square feet of new construction. Delmas North LLC is both the general contractor and developer. Cabrera Ramos Architects designed the complex. Construction is expected to last 18 months from the start of groundbreaking.

The Delmas North Apartments is slated for the site of 13650 N.E. Second Court, Miami, FL, 33161, in Miami-Dade County.

Sunland Group has debuted the Marea Collection, a set of four newly constructed waterfront homes in Miami’s Belle Meade neighborhood. The first two residences, Casa Vista and Casa Coral, are now complete and located at 7725 and 7717 NE 8th Avenue, respectively. Each single-family home presents its own architectural design while maintaining a consistent focus on waterfront access and a modern residential typology.

Sunland Group’s in-house design team led the architectural and interior design of the Marea Collection, emphasizing indoor-outdoor integration, natural light, and open layouts. The firm also engaged Chilean architect Gonzalo Mardones, an Honorary Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, for the design of two homes. The four residences were designed as a unified group with complementary forms and materials, while allowing for variation in layout and spatial flow.

All four homes are clad in white stucco and are oriented to maximize natural light and water views. The design team prioritized light as a key architectural element, organizing each structure with large openings, full-height glazing, and open-plan interiors. The use of light, according to the firm, was intended to shape the living spaces and establish a visual connection to the surrounding waterways.

Each residence features 50 feet of waterfront frontage and outdoor areas that seamlessly connect to indoor living spaces. Rear terraces on the ground level include private lap pools, spas, sundecks, and dining areas. The homes are designed around a ground-floor open plan, and all include upper-level terraces and rooftop patios.

Additional features common to all homes include primary bedroom suites with large private terraces and rooftop spaces described by the design team as a “fifth façade,” referencing early modernist principles. Exterior design elements, including glass railings, wood cladding, and landscaped planters, form part of the overall architectural composition.

Casa Vista was designed entirely by Sunland Group’s internal team and includes five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms over more than 4,500 square feet. The structure includes a rooftop overhang, vertical wood slats, and a facade divided into an upper stucco portion and a lower base clad in Moca Creme limestone. The ground floor features a kitchen, dining space, a large living area, and an en-suite guest room. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open onto the outdoor terrace, which includes a lap pool, sundeck, and dining space facing the waterfront.
