A formal groundbreaking ceremony was held this morning for the 36-story Atlantic Station (formerly Block 45) tower in Overtown, marking the beginning of construction on what is set to be the largest single phase mixed-income Transit-Oriented Development to ever get underway in Miami-Dade County. Site work has been underway since at least November. The mixed-use development, designed by renowned architecture firm Bermello Ajamil and Partners, will include a combination of residential architecture and retail space.
According to the developers, the Atlantic Station will include 616 apartments, 5,013 square feet of retail, 15,093 square feet of full service restaurant, 5,013 square feet of fast food restaurant, and an 8-story garage with 605 parking spaces. The developers said last week that 360 of the 616 units will be workforce housing. The multi-family residential development will feature upscale apartments and amenities including a sunset-view recreation deck with two pools, dog park, fitness center, outdoor kitchen, club lounge, and work from home center.
The ground floor will feature retail and restaurant space surrounding an interior courtyard with lush landscaping and water wall. The new name is said to be inspired by its central location and access to transit including the Brightline train station, Metrorail and Metro-mover stations. The Atlantic Station is being supported by the county as a General Obligation Bond Project, with funding from Miami-Dade County’s Building Better Communities Bond Program. The development is designed by Bermello Ajamil and Partners, a firm with a reputation for creating innovative and sustainable designs.
