Renderings have been released for Upland Park, a development planned near the Dolphin Mall. The development will be “the first truly viable alternative to automobile commuting,” according to the project website.
According to the developer, Upland Park is being purpose-built for integration with the upcoming east west transit corridor.
The community has access to major employment areas such as Miami International, The Health District, Downtown and Brickell. The project site itself is at the planned rapid transit station.
Once inside the community, residents and workers will enjoy a master-planned walkable neighborhood with built-in traffic solutions. The goal is to also have a variety of residences sizes and price points within the neighborhood, servicing to all ages and audiences, from students to seniors.
The project is planned to include: 1,700+ new mid-rise and garden residences. 140.000 square-feet of retail space. 427,000 square-feet of commercial space. 126-room hotel. Office space. Charter school.
Site work is planned to begin in early 2023, after the developer signs a lease for land and obtains a $35 million work loan, according to the SFDJ. Plusurbia Design is the urban planner for Upland Park, with Arquitectonica the design architect. Terra Group is the developer.
