Taurus Investment Holdings and The Congress Group Switch Civica Development from Office to Residential

The focus of Civica’s plans is shifting from offices to residences in recently updated plans for the development. In the previous plans, the development was set to rise 22 stories tall with a height change to 27 stories or 310 feet.

The changes also include 342 residential units, luxury amenities, commercial and office space, and an 8-level garage with 590 parking spaces.

The property is located five minutes walk from the Civic Center Metrorail station. The land sits right behind the 836 Expressway, which is being reconstructed as part of the Signature Bridge project.

Currently on the site is a three-story shopping center with 74,463 square feet, as well as a 4,768 square-foot bank branch. While the tower is being constructed, both of those buildings would still be present, albeit their parking spaces would be moved to the new parking garage for the complex.

The Miami Urban Development Review Board is scheduled to examine the project at a hearing on December 21. The architect for the project is listed as Cube 3 and the developers include Boston-based, Taurus Investment Holdings, and The Congress Group. The developer purchased the site for a combined $30.5 million in 2020.
