From a desolate industrial district of empty warehouses to an eclectic neighborhood known for its colorful street art and cafés, Wynwood Miami has come a long way over the past decade. Since the creation of the Wynwood Walls in 2009, the neighborhood has become the latest hub for major art events, creative businesses, boutique shopping, dining, and nightlife in the city. So much so, it has turned into one of the most iconic and visited neighborhoods in Miami.

However, the transformation story of this vibrant, street art and mural district is far from complete. With new garnered attention and relaxation in zoning laws that allow for higher density developments to be built, more “Wynwood Walls” are on the horizon as the neighborhood is the new-found favorite of developers from across the country. From Diesel building its partly-furnished condos to an Arlo Hotel, plus brand-new office, apartment, and retail space, Wynwood is in phase 2.0 of its transformation story, where it will soon become the live-work-play destination of tomorrow.

Condo

Diesel Wynwood

121 NW 28th Street

Launching sales during Miami Art Week in December last year, Bel Invest grabbed headlines with its sensational marketing campaign claiming to sell the “most expensive T-shirts ever” as they included a free condo. Essentially, the one-of-a-kind T-shirts were intended for condo buyers and would have their floorplan printed across the front. 

Designed by Zyscovich Architects, the 8-story building’s moodily colored façade, interiors and industrial-themed common areas come styled by Diesel Living (the denim brand’s home furnishing line). The partly furnished units are expected to feature Diesel coffee tables, sofas, and even lamps. The airy building will also be vying for a WELL certification by meeting thresholds for air and water quality.

The loft-style condo project sits on one acre of land with 129,000 sq. ft. of its space dedicated to residences, 22,000 sq. ft. to commercial facilities, and another 24,000 sq. ft. to ground-level retail. Residences will range from 395 sq. ft. studios to three-bedroom units, and two-floor penthouses. With amenities such as a pool, gym, spa, lounge, working area, conference room and kid’s room, the 143 luxury units come priced between $370,000 to $5.5 million.

With plans to break ground this fall, developers are currently accepting reservations for as little as $10,000 down.

Apartment and Mixed-Use

Wynwood 29

2828 N.W. First Avenue

Redesigned recently, this mixed-use project by the Related Group and Metro 1 intends to put two 12- and 8-story buildings on a 1.3-acre site in the neighborhood. Cutting out on all of its office space (part of the original plan), developers have worked in more multifamily space by bumping up the number of apartments to 248. The project will feature smaller units, under 550 sq. ft., in order to lower the overall rent. This comes on the heels of Related completing Wynwood 25, a luxury apartment building featuring studio through 3-bedroom apartments. 

The mixed-use venture will also be home to 28,071 sq. ft. of commercial space, 372 parking spaces, a pool deck, outdoor amenity space, and about 5,000 sq. ft. of indoor amenities.

This former home to O Cinema and the Wynwood Yard will feature 50 studios, 90 one-bedroom, and 49 two-bedroom units, with some being micro-units. As parking occupies the first three stories, renters will find an amenity pool deck on the ninth floor inclusive of a club room, fitness room, yoga room, and business center.

Miami’s Arlo Hotel

2235 NW Miami Court

The group behind the Condé Nast-approved Nautilus Hotel in South Beach and Arlo SoHo in New York City is ready to bring a 217-key hotel to Wynwood. The proposed nine-story hotel is expected to break ground this November and deliver the brand’s signature ‘home away from home’ experience in this artsy neighborhood.
