Rarely available CI-HD zoned development site in Miami's Health District, one of the largest medical complexes in the southeastern United States, steps from Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami Health System. This parcel offers exceptional flexibility under Miami 21 zoning, with by-right approvals for residential, retail, office, hospitality, and educational uses, making it one of the most versatile development opportunities in the urban core.
The site benefits from Live Local Act (SB 102) designation, which unlocks potential density of up to 1,000 dwelling units per acre, an FLR of 36, and height allowances tied to the tallest building within one mile — dramatically expanding what a developer can achieve beyond base zoning.
The property was formerly occupied by an automotive service facility. The current owner has completed a full environmental remediation of the site, and all supporting documentation is available for review during due diligence. Buyers can proceed with confidence in the environmental status of the land.
Three (3) compelling development scenarios are supported by the current entitlements:
? RETAIL / COMMERCIAL — Ground-floor retail or food service is permitted by right, with no special approvals required. The site is ideally suited for an urban café, fast casual restaurant, pharmacy, or medical-adjacent retail concept serving the thousands of hospital employees, patients, and visitors that pass through the Health District daily.
? MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL — Base zoning supports up to 40 residential units across a 13-story building, with 48,000 SF of net residential area and average unit sizes of 1,200 SF — a true two-bedroom product in one of Miami's most supply-constrained submarkets. With Live Local Act benefits applied, density potential increases substantially beyond the base zoning allowance.
? MIXED-USE — The highest and best use scenario combines ground-floor retail or restaurant space with residential floors above, maximizing the allowable 80% lot coverage and up to 93,096 SF of maximum buildable area under FLR 8. A structured parking component of up to 41 spaces across 3 levels can be integrated to satisfy all residential and commercial parking requirements simultaneously.
All development scenarios must be independently verified prior to reliance.
