1 Million Square Foot Mixed-Use Project Proposed for Wynwood- 29N
L&L Holding Co. and Carper Real Estate Partners have recently purchased 3 acres located at 95 N.W. 29th Street in the Wynwood Arts District. Making up nine parcels, the New York-based companies plan on developing a multi-use project totaling 964,693 square feet.
Dubbed the name 29N, this planned project will rise on the former Rubell Family Art Museum Building and will feature multiple buildings 12 and 8 stories tall. There will be a ‘pedestrian paseo’ connecting the towers and lot will feature 313 feet of frontage along NW 29th Street, sharing a block with the Gateway at Wynwood.
Featuring 523 apartments, 200,618 square feet of office space, 26,372 square feet of retail, and 668 parking spaces, 29N will be considered one of the largest projects in Wynwood. Amenities for this project would be on floors seven through nine.
The residential units would range from studio to 2-bedroom apartments with 504 to 1,093 square feet floor plans. This project will be designed by Gensler, a San Francisco-based firm along with Fortis Design + Build.
The renderings for the building design feature a colorful aesthetic that showcases the culture of Miami as well as the Wynwood neighborhood. Art murals with reds, greens, and browns will be showcased on the ground floor level of the buildings.
Construction Permits Filed for NEMA Miami
In the wake of Miami’s construction boom, it is of no surprise that another tower will be underway soon. Plans for NEMA Miami were originally announced in February 2020 with plans to break ground earlier this year. The permits for this tower were finally filed this week with an anticipated groundbreaking mid to late August 2021.
Located at 2900 Biscayne Boulevard, NEMA Miami will rise 39 stories high at 428 feet high with plans of 588 apartments. There will be an additional 56,000+ square feet of retail space with a potential organic grocery store occupying a portion of the space. Located at the edge of Wynwood and Edgewater, NEMA will be centrally located close to the Design District as well as Brickell.
NEMA Miami will be Designed by Arquitectonia and the Rockwell Group, and developers include Crescent Heights. Crescent Heights have been responsible for all of NEMA towers.
The design appears to be a more modern style with a glass exterior reflecting the Miami sky. According to their website, “no two NEMA’s are alike,” and that their designs represent the culture of the neighborhood that they are located.
Tower amenities for NEMA include club benefits when traveling, guest suites, NEMA events, a full-service fitness center, a sky deck pool, and much more!

Block Capital Group and Kushner Companies LLC Breaks Ground on Wynwood Neighborhood Project
This project will consist of 152 apartments, 46,000 square feet of office space, 33,500 square of retail space, and 232 parking spaces with three roof decks and a large courtyard. There will be one-five and one-eight story buildings located at 129 N.W. 26th Street and 127 N.W. 27th Street, giving it the name WYND 27 and WYND 28.
According to Nicole Kushner Meye, Principal at Kushner, “This project is poised to mesh into the unparalleled Wynwood context and culture, while at the same time expand the vision and limits of this neighborhood with a tremendous addition of creative office, retail, and public space.”
According to FinTech Zoom, the court filings include the Motoconb Estates, LTD., agent for David and Simon Reuben (Reuben Brothers), are seeking to overtake the remaining 15 units from the tower.
The Principal investor is Gilberto Bomeny and the co-developer is Louis Birdman. Caught by surprise, Birdman recently stated, “This action by our current lender was completely unexpected, as they are well aware that our sales team had a record-breaking year of sales, and that we are preparing to pay off the construction loan this month. We remain focused on the successful sellout of our limited number of remaining residences at One Thousand Museum during the course of this year.”
FinTech Zoom also reported that the Reuben Brothers are among some of Britain’s wealthiest families but are not well known in South Florida. This year alone, they purchased Kyu restaurant in Wynwood and a few additional properties in South Florida. They also acquired the One Thousand Museum loans in February 2021.
According to Birdman, “We are in the process of raising prices. The building is performing better than ever.” In the past year, over $100 million in units have sold as well as $35 million in quarter 1 of 2021.
Notables that currently reside at One-Thousand Museum include David and Victoria Beckham and French national team soccer player Paul Pogba.
