After months of speculation, it’s official: Apple is making its mark on Miami Worldcenter, the sprawling 27-acre megadevelopment in Downtown Miami. A leasehold agreement filed to Miami-Dade County confirms the tech giant’s arrival, adding to the excitement surrounding this ambitious project.
Construction has been underway since November for a one-story, stand-alone retail building located at 725 NE First Avenue. With a price tag of $12 million, this development is poised to become a focal point within the Miami Worldcenter landscape. Situated on an 18,600-square-foot site, the building occupies a prime spot at the corner of Northeast Eighth Street, just west of the Jewel Box retail building.
Miami Worldcenter, akin to New York’s Hudson Yards, is one of the largest private projects in the country.

At a recent gathering hosted by the Miami Parking Authority (MPA), developers of the eagerly anticipated M-Tower provided an insightful update on the project’s progress. Nestled in the heart of Miami, this architectural marvel is set to redefine the city skyline, and the latest developments shed light on the innovative strides being made.
The construction of M-Tower stands as a testament to collaboration between public and private entities. Situated on a blend of MPA land and adjacent private property owned by the developer, this fusion exemplifies synergy in urban development.
A significant milestone was reached with the recent demolition of an MPA garage, clearing the path for the grand ascent of M-Tower. This strategic move underscores the commitment to progress and innovation in urban planning.
In a bid for excellence, the developer has dedicated resources to value engineering, resulting in notable enhancements. The refined façade, enhanced balconies, and increased glazing reflect a dedication to superior aesthetics and functionality.
With an eye towards meeting growing demand, an additional 90 units have been integrated into the design. Emphasizing accessibility, all units will be available for rent, catering to diverse lifestyles and preferences.
In a bid for structural efficiency, an extra floor has been seamlessly incorporated into the design. This strategic addition not only enhances stability but also allows for innovative approaches to construction, such as reduced rebar usage and elevated ceilings.
While the footprint for amenities has been streamlined, the essence of luxury remains uncompromised. Spanning the ninth level, an array of upscale amenities awaits residents, including a lounge, co-working space, poker room, game room, grab-and-go options, pool lounge, pet spa, and expansive gym. Additionally, a dedicated health and wellness area promises rejuvenation with features like a sauna, steam room, experiential showers, and relaxation lounge.
Thanks to meticulous planning and refinement, the revised design circumvents the need for further review by the Urban Development Review Board, streamlining the path to realization.
In a bid for excellence, a private provider has been enlisted for plan review, ensuring adherence to the highest standards throughout the process.
The commitment to excellence is mirrored in the substantial investment made thus far, totaling $17.1 million. This financial dedication underscores the magnitude of the project and the vision driving its execution.
With the appointment of Moss Construction Group as the general contractor, confidence abounds in the project’s successful realization.

The 5050 Residences: Miami-Dade’s Expanding Housing Development
Miami-Dade County is witnessing a significant transformation in its housing landscape with the expansion of the 5050 Residences. Originally conceived in 2020 as a modest four-story building with 40 one-bedroom apartments, each spanning approximately 800 square feet, this development has now leaped in scale and ambition.
In response to the escalating demand for housing in the region, the 5050 Residences have undergone a substantial revision in their plans. The development now boasts an eight-story structure, offering a total of 82 residences. This expansion not only increases the number of available units but also diversifies the types of living spaces. The revised layout plans range from efficient studios to spacious two-bedroom residences, with sizes varying from 430 to 1,067 square feet.
However, the expansion of the 5050 Residences isn’t just about adding more residences. The project, visualized by SD Collaborative, has also seen adjustments in other aspects. Originally, the proposal included 1,983 square feet of ground-floor retail space and provision for 23 parking spots. The latest plans have scaled down the commercial space to 1,151 square feet, a reduction of nearly 42%. Additionally, the number of parking spots has been reduced to 17, indicating that tenants at the 5050 Residences will not have guaranteed parking spaces.
Set to potentially commence construction in 2025, the 5050 Residences are strategically located at 5050 N.W. 22nd Avenue, Miami, FL, 33142. This location places the development in a prime area within Miami-Dade County. The project is a venture of RE Opportunity Fund LLC, which acquired the 0.38-acre site for $350,000 in 2018. As of now, the site remains vacant, poised for its transformation into a vibrant residential community.
The 5050 Residences represent a dynamic shift in Miami-Dade’s approach to urban living and housing development. By doubling the number of residences and revising the layout and amenities, this project is set to cater to the growing demand for diverse and flexible living spaces in the region. As Miami-Dade County continues to evolve, developments like the 5050 Residences are crucial in shaping its residential landscape.
