New multifamily housing plan transforms North Miami skyline

In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a new multifamily housing development that will feature a total of 103 units. The breakdown of the units includes three studio apartments averaging 520 square feet, 92 one-bedroom units with an average size of 750 square feet, and eight two-bedroom units averaging 1,050 square feet.

The proposed development will be situated on a site previously occupied by Johnson and Wales University, which included a four-story dormitory building. The dormitory, now set for conversion into residential apartments, was part of a larger assemblage of properties acquired by the developer after the university's departure from North Miami.

The developer has already secured a building permit to modify the existing dormitory units, with plans to convert two dormitory spaces into a single apartment. This project aims to enhance the local housing market by providing a variety of living options in the area. Further details about the development's timeline and community impact are expected to be discussed in upcoming meetings.
