On a unanimous vote, the Miami Dade Board of County Commissioners approved the zoning change and site plan of Eureka Estates. A mix of apartments and townhomes with private patios, the 73 units project will have a combination of studios, one, two and three bedroom units, a community pool, playground, gym, business center/clubhouse, management on site, electric car charging stations, CCTV monitoring and parcel lockers. The paving, drainage, water and sewer plans have been also approved. We expect to break ground before the end of 1Q2025.  Click here to visit the project’s page.

Miami-based Allied Cos. has proposed a townhouse-style apartment complex in the Eureka neighborhood of southern Miami-Dade County.

The Mark LLC, led by Rodolfo “Rudy” Corujo of Allied Cos., filed a pre-application and a zoning application for the 1.25-acre site at 18230 S.W. 110th Ave. It acquired the vacant property for $570,000 in 2021.

Totaling 42,988 square feet, the Mark Estates would feature 58 townhouse-style units, a day care center and about 100 parking spaces. Amenities would include a pool, a playground, a co-working space and a gym.

There would be 17 one-bedroom units, 29 two-bedroom units and 12 three-bedroom units, each with a patio.

“What we like about the neighborhood is the revitalization of the commercial locations on Eureka Drive (Southwest 184th Street), in addition to the multiple commercial locations nearby (around US 1) and that the property is sandwiched between two rapid transit corridors, the Turnpike to the west, and US 1 to the east,” Corujo said.

He said the project should break ground in early 2023.

Miami-based EGSC Engineering and Miami-based attorney Tony Recio are working with the developer in the application. It has yet to select an architect.

Meanwhile, Allied Cos. has the Eureka Estates project in the works at 18200 S.W. 108th Ave. with 54 units.

There has been a residential development boom in southern Miami-Dade as more people seek less expensive apartments because of rising rents in the urban core.

Developer is planning 105-unit building designed by Corwil Architects

The Richman Group is planning a senior housing development in Allapattah. Richman (https://therealdeal.com/miami/2020/04/27/richman-scores-57m-loan-to-buildapartments-
on-boca-raton-golf-course/), a major multifamily developer, is planning a 105-unit building for the site at 2137 Northwest 36th Street, and 3629 and 3645 Northwest 21stCourt in Miami, according to MSP Group, which brokered the sale of the 0.7-acreassemblage.

MSP Group’s Deme Mekras and Elliot Shainberg represented the sellers, The Mark LLC, Global Property Consultants LLC and Rolando Arzola. They also represented the buyer. Richman paid $3.8 million for the assemblage, which breaks down to nearly $36,000 per buildable unit. The property is in a designated
Opportunity Zone (https://therealdeal.com/miami/tag/opportunity-zones/), which allows investors who develop in any of the 8,700 zones in the country to defer or potentially forgo paying capital gains tax until the end of 2026.

Richman’s site is zoned T6-8-O, allowing for an eight-story building. The Greenwich, Connecticut-based developer was awarded a low income housing tax credit from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation to build the project, according to a release. Corwil Architects is designing the building.

Other developers who are active in Allapattah (https://therealdeal.com/miami/tag/allapattah/)
include Lissette Calderon, Robert Wennettand Moishe Mana.
In June, Calderon’s Neology Life Development Group paid $3.6 million for an assemblage at 1470 Northwest 36th Street, also in an Opportunity Zone. There, she’s planning (https://therealdeal.com/miami/2020/06/16/lissette-calderon-buys-land-for-third-rentalproject-
in-allapattah/) Allapattah 14, a 237-unit rental building with ground-floor retail space on the site.
