Rilea Group Breaks Ground on Mohawk at Wynwood Mixed Use Luxury Rental Development

Rilea Group broke ground on Mohawk at Wynwood, a 300-residence mixed-use development that will establish the defining link between the Wynwood Arts District and Midtown Miami. Located at 50 NE 29th St., Mohawk joins two neighboring projects: The Rider Residences, a boutique condominium developed in partnership with Ciprés, and The Boxer, an eight-story rental building.

Veteran South Florida developer Rilea Group broke ground on Mohawk at Wynwood, a 300-residence mixed-use development that will establish the defining link between the Wynwood Arts District and Midtown Miami. Located at 50 NE 29th St., Mohawk joins two neighboring projects: The Rider Residences, a boutique condominium developed in partnership with Ciprés, the next-generation real estate development firm, and The Boxer, an eight-story rental building Ciprés is spearheading at 20 NE 29th St. Together, the two firms are shaping nearly an entire city block through the three transformative projects at the nexus of Wynwood, Midtown, Edgewater and the Miami Design District.

Rilea Group, the sales and construction teams, banking and finance executives, members of the brokerage community and select media came together for a ceremony to celebrate the groundbreaking on Sept. 23, 2026.

Mohawk is situated approximately 100 yards from Amazon's new Miami offices, in the middle of a corridor where, according to Rilea Group, more than $11 billion of real estate development is currently underway.

Comprising 12- and eight-story residential towers, Mohawk will feature 300 apartments and 29,118 square feet of ground-floor retail, organized around an open-air, cobblestone pedestrian paseo connecting Northeast 28th and 29th streets.

"Mohawk is punk rock in a tailored jacket," said Diego Ojeda, Founder of Ciprés and President of Rilea Group. "It is a mixed-use project, 300 residences over retail, but nothing about it behaves like one. Chicago brick, blackened steel and glass on the outside. High fashion, photography and rock and roll on the inside. Art on every floor. Nobody has built a rental building like this in Miami, and that is exactly the point. We are also giving the neighborhood its widest sidewalks, because a great restaurant deserves a real terrace. Our retail owners get room for tables, while the runner, the dog walker and the stroller still glide past without touching a chair. That is how Fifth Avenue works. That is how the Champs-Élysées works. We did not design Mohawk to fit in. We designed it to be the talk of the town, and the retail numbers say the town has already noticed."

Mohawk is Rilea Group's sixth project with Coastal Construction, a relationship that includes 1450 Brickell, home to J.P. Morgan's Miami headquarters, and Banco Santander's U.S. headquarters now rising at 1401 Brickell Avenue. Construction financing was provided by Nuveen Green Capital and ABANCA, the Spanish bank headquartered in Galicia. The project is slated for completion in 2029.

A Facade from the Industrial North, Interiors from London

Designed by Deforma Studio, Mohawk's exterior is influenced by Chicago and Brooklyn’s brick facades, with blackened steel and glass - an homage to the industrial architecture of the Northern region’s warehouses and factory lofts, carried as far as modern materials allow.

“Mohawk is our homage to the industrial North - the brick warehouses and factory lofts of Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, reinterpreted through a contemporary Miami lens,” said Javier Barrera, Principal of Deforma Studio. “The reclaimed brick is authentic, salvaged from old factories across the North East and Midwest, so there’s real history embedded in the building. We paired that material with dark metal and glass to capture the character of that industrial architecture without trying to replicate it literally. Diego gave us the freedom to be genuinely creative on this one, and you can see that freedom in every elevation.”

Interiors by RADYCA will distinguish Mohawk as Miami's most fashion-forward and rock-and-roll-focused residential apartment building, with photography, sculptures and murals accenting the lobbies, paseo and amenity floors.

"I went to London to be inspired for Mohawk," said Ramón Alonso, President of RADYCA. "Camden, Shoreditch, the old punk clubs and the fashion houses that grew up next to them. That collision of high fashion and rebellion is what Mohawk's interiors are about. Raw brick, blackened steel, velvet, photography on the walls, a lobby lit like a stage. It is a home for people who would rather be in the front row than the back."

Retail Built for Restaurants and Flagships

Mohawk's 27,990 square feet of ground-floor retail is for sale, with units from 642 to 2,544 square feet, each delivered with high ceilings, grease-trap-ready infrastructure and storefronts opening onto Northeast 28th Street, Northeast 29th Street and the paseo. Sidewalks along the project are 30 feet wide, sized to what shoppers find on Fifth Avenue in New York City or Calle Serrano in Madrid, with room for outdoor dining. On 28th Street, the retail abuts the new headquarters Rilea Group is building for Grammy-winning artist Pitbull.

The paseo, a cobblestone passageway inspired by New York's Meatpacking District, runs through the block from 28th to 29th Street, lined with shopfronts, sculpture and photography.

Retail sales at Mohawk have already set records. Approximately a third of the retail space is under contract at a blended price of about $1,800 per square foot, the highest retail pricing ever achieved in Wynwood or Midtown Miami. Early this year, an international buyer acquired five units for approximately $14 million settled in USDT, a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, the largest crypto-settled commercial real estate sale in Miami’s history, executed with tokenization specialist Propy. Cryptocurrency payments remain available for retail purchases. Cervera Real Estate and The Comras Company lead the retail sales team.

Residences and Amenities

Rising above the streetscape, studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments will feature tile flooring throughout, Bertazzoni appliances and kitchens with Dekton by Cosentino countertops, backsplashes and cabinetry. Select homes will open onto spacious lanais and private outdoor living areas.

Rooftop amenities across both towers will include a pool deck, a padel court, secluded gathering areas and a dedicated dog park. Indoors, residents will find a Turkish hammam, a gym, a double-height lounge and offices designed for focused work. Recreational offerings will encompass a game room, indoor and outdoor children's play areas, a separate lounge and bar and a private park. An enclosed garage will accommodate 318 vehicles, with 17 additional on-street parking spaces adjacent to the property.

DFRE™ Begins The Triangle, A $35 Million Workforce Housing Development Designed by ODP Architects in Miami’s Health District

Miami-based development firm DFRE™ has revealed The Triangle, a $35 million mixed-use workforce housing development bringing 112 rental residences to Miami’s Health District, one of the city’s largest employment hubs. Located at 1750 NW 15 Street Road, the eight-story, 121,636-square-foot project is currently under construction and will provide thoughtfully designed, attainable housing within close proximity to the district’s major employers and transit connections.

Miami-based development firm DFRE™ has revealed The Triangle, a $35 million mixed-use workforce housing development bringing 112 rental residences to Miami’s Health District, one of the city’s largest employment hubs. Located at 1750 NW 15 Street Road, the eight-story, 121,636-square-foot project is currently under construction and will provide thoughtfully designed, attainable housing within close proximity to the district’s major employers and transit connections.

The development comes as Miami-Dade County faces a need for approximately 35,000 additional workforce housing units to address the growing gap between housing costs and local incomes, a challenge particularly relevant in the Health District, which supports more than 46,000 jobs across healthcare, institutional and other essential sectors. The Triangle is being developed under Florida’s Live Local Act, with all 112 rental residences income-restricted to households earning up to 120% of Area Median Income (AMI).

“Our responsibility extends far beyond developing real estate,” said Daniel Dias, principal at DFRE. “With The Triangle, we’re turning a site in the heart of the Health District into attainable, well-designed housing for the people who serve this community. It’s about giving Miami’s workforce the opportunity to live closer to where they work while creating a place that strengthens the neighborhood for the long term.”

Designed by ODP Architects—the Miami-based firm behind high-profile developments including Villa Miami—The Triangle brings a luxury-caliber design approach to workforce housing. Its articulated façade of projecting balconies, recessed glazing, vertical screening elements, and warm soffit accents create depth, privacy, and a strong indoor-outdoor connection. Generous glazing and integrated planting bring natural light and greenery directly into the residential experience. These features also provide shade and reduce solar exposure, demonstrating that thoughtful design and affordable housing can go hand in hand.

The development will feature:

  • 112 rental, 450-square-foot studio units with private balconies and club membership included

  • A landscaped 10,000-square-foot pool terrace located on the fifth level, featuring private cabanas, an outdoor television, dedicated gathering spaces, and a fully equipped outdoor grilling area

  • A 3,500-square-foot ground-level fitness center featuring a health food and juice bar, complemented by private fitness studios and dedicated cardio rooms across the second through fourth levels

  • Direct access to green space designed to promote wellness and community connection

  • Additional amenities include dedicated parking, secure bicycle storage, resident club room, in-residence laundry facilities, full-time on-site staff, and a dedicated package room

Ground-floor uses will activate the streetscape, while the project’s walkable location connects residents to Jackson Memorial Hospital, the University of Miami Health System, public transit, neighborhood services and retail throughout the Health District. Local artists will also be incorporated throughout the development, reinforcing Miami’s cultural identity and creating a distinctive sense of place.

The Triangle reflects DFRE’s distinct approach to urban infill: transforming an overlooked, irregular “odd lot” parcel into a transit-oriented community designed around how residents live, work and connect. The triangular site, with a single point of ingress and egress along NW 15th Street Road, presented unique design and construction challenges. Through close collaboration between design and structural teams, DFRE transformed these constraints into opportunities, optimizing the building footprint, circulation, structural systems, and overall site functionality while creating a compelling design.

“Some developers see difficult sites. We see opportunities,” said Laura Weinstein-Berman, principal at DFRE. “The Triangle proves that workforce housing does not mean compromising on design or quality. We’ve approached the architecture, residences and shared spaces with the same level of intention you would expect from a high-end development, because thoughtful design should not be determined by price point. We want to create a place that residents are genuinely proud to call home.”

The Triangle is anticipated to top off in mid-2027, with completion slated for early 2028.

Unlike a traditional build-and-exit development model, DFRE owns, develops, operates and programs its properties, staying invested from acquisition and design through long-term operations. This model gives the firm a direct role in how its properties serve residents and contribute to their neighborhoods long after construction is complete.

The Triangle builds on a development model DFRE has already implemented across Miami. In Little Havana, El Jardín Inn transformed a collection of historic Art Deco buildings near Calle Ocho through adaptive reuse and historic preservation, introducing boutique hospitality, cultural programming and partnerships with local artists and businesses. In Overtown, Peach on 14th reimagined an underutilized urban site through a public-private partnership as a mixed-use neighborhood hub combining affordable work-live residences, commercial and civic uses, public space and an exhibition gallery.

Looking ahead, DFRE plans to expand its South Florida pipeline with additional workforce housing and mixed-use developments grounded in affordability, design, sustainability and long-term neighborhood investment.

Designed by Arquitectonica, with interiors by Vida Design and construction led by Coastal Construction, 2900 Terrace will feature one-, two- and three-bedroom residences averaging 1,069 square feet, with select layouts featuring dens and enclosed studios. Thoughtfully scaled layouts set the residences apart from typical rental offerings, with wider living rooms, expansive balconies spanning the length of the home and floor-to-ceiling windows in select bedrooms that maximize natural light and frame views of Biscayne Bay. Kitchens will feature dedicated pantry storage in select layouts, while condo-level finishes and top-of-the line appliances bring an elevated level of design and functionality to everyday living.

“2900 Terrace reflects the continued evolution of Edgewater into one of Miami’s most desirable residential neighborhoods,” said Alex Karakhanian, Principal of LNDMRK Development. “With spacious residences, condo-level finishes, expansive outdoor living and a robust collection of wellness, lifestyle and work-from-home amenities, the project is designed around how residents want to live in Miami today.”

The development’s amenity program is designed to support the many ways residents live, work and spend their time at home. Wellness offerings will include a fitness center, spa, yoga and hammam facilities, while outdoor spaces will center around the pool, pool lounge and padel courts. Residents will also have dedicated spaces for work, entertainment and gathering, including coworking and meeting spaces, a cinema, private dining room and clubroom, with dedicated areas for families and content creators rounding out the experience.

“2900 Terrace brings together the quality of a condominium with the flexibility and convenience of a professionally managed rental building,” said David Weitz, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Oak Row Equities. “We put a strong emphasis on design and service to make the property, and its amenities feel like a true extension of home. Combined with its location in Edgewater, we believe 2900 Terrace offers a compelling new standard of living for renters in Miami.”

Situated in Edgewater, 2900 Terrace is located east of Biscayne Boulevard and one block away from Biscayne Bay, offering residents a quieter waterfront setting with convenient access to Miami’s urban core. Residents will be steps away from the Baywalk, a public waterfront promenade along Biscayne Bay, while nearby Biscayne Boulevard and I-95 provide connectivity to surrounding submarkets and employment centers including the Design District, Wynwood, Brickell, Downtown, and Miami Beach.

Terra And New Valley Break Ground On Natura Gardens Multifamily Development In Northwest Miami-Dade

Terra and New Valley have broken ground on Natura Gardens, a 27-acre multifamily development encompassing 460 garden-style rental apartments. The news comes approximately one year after the partnership finalized the purchase of a 72-acre development site in northwest Miami-Dade.

Terra and New Valley have broken ground on Natura Gardens, a 27-acre multifamily development encompassing 460 garden-style rental apartments. The news comes approximately one year after the partnership finalized the purchase of a 72-acre development site in northwest Miami-Dade and as the joint venture also completes the sale of the parcel’s remaining 45 acres to Butters and Greystar for $53.5 million. Site work at Natura Gardens is currently underway, with vertical construction expected to take place in Spring 2021. Delivery is anticipated in early 2022.

“Northwest Miami-Dade is experiencing a surge of demand for new residential and commercial development, which is why we initially zeroed in on this parcel as a prime development site,” said Terra CEO David Martin. “Shortly after our JV announced plans for Natura Gardens, we were approached by several developers that shared our vision for bringing new housing options and infrastructure to this part of the County, and that opened the door to selling our originally planned second and third phases of the development site to Butters and Greystar. This is a good example of how forward-looking development that meets market demand can serve as a magnet for new investment in underserved areas.”

Situated along NW 170th Street between I-75 and Florida’s Turnpike, Natura Gardens is located a short drive from several of South Florida’s largest employers, including Boeing, Royal Caribbean International, Preferred Freezer Services, and The Home Depot.

“We were excited to have worked with Terra to complete the vision for this magnificent site and create a balanced sustainable development that will benefit the residents as well as Miami Dade County,” commented Butters Construction & Development, President, Malcolm Butters.

Designed by Pascual, Perez, Kiliddjian Architecture (PPK), Natura Gardens will range from one- to three-bedrooms, measuring between 727 and 1,476 square feet in size. Amenities will include a two-story clubhouse with a resort-style pool and spa; a media room, game room and kids playroom; a children’s tot-lot play area with recreational equipment and electronics charging stations; a state-of-the-art fitness center with yoga, aerobics and spinning studios; co-working spaces and a coffee bar; and a residents-only dog park with site furnishings. Inspired by the area’s natural surroundings, the community will feature lush landscaping, open lawns, lakes and preserves. Residents will also have access to a dedicated walking/running trail throughout the community.
