Planned - Miami Pre-Construction Condos
Related Group’s micro-condos near MiamiCentral – Downtown
The Related Group has announced plans of developing a 40-story, micro-condo tower in partnership with ROVR Development. The 350-odd condo residences will span less than 700 sq. ft. on average, with parking available off-site. Since the site plan has already been sent for approval, details will be revealed soon enough. The Group also expects to include some sort of a hotel or leaseback program into the project. This definitely comes as major news on the condo front by the Related Group, ever since it announced the cancellation of a 60-story/290-unit tower due to a slumping market back in 2017.
Prices expected to range between $250,000 and $500,000
