Aventura

Aventura—Spanish for “adventure”—was originally undeveloped swamp, mangrove, and marshland until developers Don Soffer and Edward Lewis recognized its potential in the late 1960s. The land was reclaimed, rezoned, and master‑planned: Turnberry Country Club, Intracoastal and golf course lined parcels, residential high rises, and retail hubs. The first condo towers and single‑family enclaves rose in the 1970s, and Aventura officially incorporated as a city in 1995.
