Miami Freedom Park Begins Construction- Set to Open in 2025
Miami Freedom Park development has officially started construction, with the groundbreaking ceremony scheduled to take place later this year. The Miami Freedom Park development will include the Inter Miami CF stadium, a 58-acre public park, and an entertainment zone spreading over 131 acres with a 25,000-seat soccer-specific stadium at 1802 Northwest 37th Avenue in Grapeland Heights, Miami.
A 58-acre public park, the largest new park in Miami, youth athletic fields, a full range of entertainment and commercial offerings, including office space, a hotel, shops, restaurants, and additional experiences and attractions are all included in the privately funded recreational project.
A construction crew is currently working on-site in preparation for vertical construction. Miami Freedom Park’s first phase will advance quickly during this multi-phase project. Both the rehabilitation proposal for the former Melreese Country Club and the lease for Miami Freedom Park have previously received approval from the City of Miami Commission and the general public.
In order to improve this iconic new destination for Miami, leasing and commercial partnership efforts are being made to entice best-in-class partners, tenants, and retailers, including existing and developing brands and companies.
At the beginning of the year, Inter Miami CF ownership hired Devon McCorkle, a seasoned megaproject and sports-anchored real estate investment and development veteran, to head the initiative as President of Miami Freedom Park. For Miami Freedom Park to reach this milestone and advance the project into the execution phase once it has finished the planning and approvals phase, Devon has further assembled a team of best-in-class design, engineering, project management, and construction firms.
Miami Freedom Park will bring further retail, hotel, and commercial phases through 2030 when the stadium is delivered in 2025, along with the initial retail and entertainment services.
Miami-based architecture firm Arquitectonica, international arena and stadium design company Manica, and industry-leading large-scale stadium project managers CAA Icon make up the renowned Miami Freedom Park team.

Shore Club Private Collection Secures $430 Million Construction Loan
Shore Club Private Collection, which is expected to be one of the fastest-selling luxury complexes in Miami Beach history, has closed on a $430 million construction financing from Witkoff Group, a Miami-based development and investment company, and Monroe Capital, a renowned asset management company.
The loan, which was provided by J.P. Morgan, is thought to be the biggest ever for a South Florida residential building project. Since its late January debut, sales have surpassed $550 million, and two-thirds of the inventory has been sold. As a result, Shore Club is prepared to start building later this year, with a 2026 completion date anticipated.
Shore Club Private Collection will house 49 houses created by the renowned New York-based firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects, building on the rich legacy of Miami Beach’s Art Deco and contemporary design style while also fostering a seamless link to its landmark site. Some of New York City’s most well-known structures were designed by this architect, including 15 Central Park West and 220 Central Park South. The three acres of coastal land where Shore Club will be located will have magnificent botanical gardens created by renowned landscape designer Nathan Browning of Island Planning Corporation.
The development, which features a brand-new structure from the ground up, The Tower, a recently renovated Art Deco structure that was first finished in 1939, The Cromwell House, and The Beach House, a distinctive single-family beach house, is Robert A.M. Stern’s first residential oceanfront project. In order to offer a product that is unique to the Miami market, each component was designed to maximize views and light in conjunction with the curve of each property. The interiors expand on this concept by drawing design cues from yachts as well as the patterns and motion of the waves and sand along Miami’s shoreline. On the architecture, RAMSA worked with Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design.
The 20-story Tower offers two- to six-bedroom homes with floor-to-ceiling windows, artistically curving balconies, and sizes ranging from 1,900 to more than 10,000 square feet. The Tower offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and sunsets, along with private and semi-private elevators and private terraces. The eight-story ancient Cromwell House will be renovated into four opulent homes, three of which will be duplexes, along with a penthouse. These four and five-bedroom residences will have a spacious full-floor penthouse as well as two-story great areas with spectacular double-height ceilings. The Beach House, which will measure 6,000 square feet with three outdoor spaces totaling more than 2,180 square feet, will be the sole private residence on Miami Beach’s oceanfront.
Together with Auberge Resorts Collection, we have a shared vision for reinventing the Shore Club Private Collection. Even though they are part of a five-star resort, the homes will offer solitude and seclusion while being maintained by Auberge. A discrete porte cochere entrance, three distinct swimming pools, including a private residential pool, a 75-foot lap pool, a leisure pool, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, a library, a lounge, and other amenities are among the unique services and amenities available to residents.
In addition to access to the world-class spa, concierge services, housekeeping, beach club, and culinary experiences, such as in-residence dining, house sommelier services, a signature restaurant, poolside café and bar with dedicated cabana service, double-height café and bar leading to an outdoor lounge, and more, Auberge Resorts Collection’s one-of-a-kind reputation for intimate tailored service will also extend to the residences with a variety of in-home offerings.
The starting price for Shore Club Private Collection is $6 million.
