The City of Miami’s Urban Development Review Board is reviewing plans submitted by Rosso Development and Midtown Development under RM MP DEV VENTURE LLC for an exciting multi-tower mixed-use project named Midtown Park. Set to rise across two phases at 3055 North Miami Avenue in the flourishing Midtown neighborhood, this development promises to bring a blend of residential, office, retail, and recreational spaces to the area.
Encompassing approximately 1.17 million square feet, the Midtown Park project has been a long-anticipated vision for the site, which spans 4.6 acres. The location is strategically positioned between North Miami Avenue and Northeast 1st Avenue, bordered by NE 29th Street to the south and NE 31st Street to the north. Previously, the property was slated for a Walmart before being purchased by the current developers for $26.4 million in 2019. Its prime location at the intersection of Midtown’s retail corridor and Wynwood’s cultural district makes it a significant addition to the rapidly evolving skyline of the neighborhood.
The development plan outlines a total of 924 residential units, 48,991 square feet of office space, and 106,651 square feet dedicated to retail uses, organized around a series of landscaped public plazas and pedestrian streets. To accommodate the influx of residents and visitors, Midtown Park will include 1,118 parking spaces primarily situated within structured on-site parking, as well as an additional 200 spaces available by easement across NE 31st Street at 50 NE 32nd Street intended for retail use. The entire project will occupy a substantial 1,172,377 square feet.
Midtown Park will be developed in two distinct phases. The first phase will feature Midtown Park Residences by Proper, a striking 28-story condominium tower that will provide 288 units, ground-floor retail, and interiors crafted in collaboration with Proper Hospitality. Sales for these residences are being managed by Fortune Development Sales, with prices starting in the low $700,000s.
In the meantime, development plans for the southern portion of the site include a temporary two-acre pop-up venue managed by Ultra Padel. This pop-up will showcase the largest padel club in the United States and will serve as a recreational facility until Phase Two commences, which will integrate a permanent padel club into the master plan.
Upon completion, Midtown Park will comprise a total of two 28-story towers, two 17-story towers, and a low-rise retail structure designed to foster a pedestrian-oriented urban environment. Crafted by Arquitectonica, the project centers around two principal plazas—one along Midtown Boulevard and another along North Miami Avenue—each designed to serve as civic thresholds enhanced with lush native vegetation, shaded seating areas, and pedestrian-friendly paving treatments.
Arquitectonica’s principal, Sherri Gutierrez, emphasized that the design aims to create a linkage between Midtown’s established retail core and the vibrant cultural and entertainment scene in Wynwood. Key design features of the development include fluid balcony expressions that draw inspiration from the movement of Biscayne Bay, resulting in a unique silhouette that will redefine the Midtown skyline.
The architectural vision includes floor-to-ceiling glazing and wraparound terraces to maximize natural light and views, while strategic setbacks at podium and tower levels will facilitate elevated gardens, amenity decks, and fitness terraces. The padel club will be positioned on one of the landscaped podium levels, established as a community and recreational hub within the development.
The penthouse levels will feature luxurious double-height volumes and private rooftop swimming pools, while all mechanical systems will be screened to maintain the project’s sleek architectural appearance. Naturalficial leads the landscape design, envisioning a multi-tiered green framework that integrates art, nature, and pedestrian experience from the ground level to the upper terraces, creating a living tapestry that will be visible from the surrounding streets.
Public art installations will be integrated throughout the development, featuring the work of Hernán Marina and Mariana Calezado in both the plazas and lobby interiors. Additionally, the residential lobby, designed by Meyer Davis Studio, will serve as a gallery space with 100 linear feet of transparent glass frontage, ensuring that art displays remain visible from the sidewalks and park areas.
With its ambitious scale and thoughtful design, Midtown Park is set to become a landmark in Miami’s Midtown neighborhood, fostering connectivity and enriching the urban experience.
