Plans Submitted for Whale & Star Redevelopment in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District
A new mixed-use project could soon rise in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, as plans have been submitted for the redevelopment of the Whale & Star building. The project, located at 2215-2237 Northwest 1st Place, 175 Northwest 22nd Street, and 170 Northwest 23rd Street, spans a 37,822-square-foot site.

This integration of hotel and residential living aligns with the growing trend of providing seamless, high-end experiences for both short-term guests and long-term residents.
Whale & Star Wynwood Owner LLC is a partnership between German hospitality group Motel One, Ralf Buschl of the Buschl Group, and Sebastian Ludke of ALP.X Group. Together, they aim to create a vibrant, dynamic addition to the Wynwood area, offering a blend of luxury, art, and urban convenience.
The development also seeks several waivers, including increased lot coverage and reduced parking requirements. These changes, if approved, will allow the project to fully utilize the site’s potential while maintaining the artistic and cultural fabric of the Wynwood neighborhood.
