South Miami-Dade’s Goulds May Soon See Its Tallest Building at 25 Stories Via the Live Local Act

Southern Miami-Dade is nothing short of low density. The region is home to a seemingly equal population of agricultural products and people alike, with newly developed subdivisions in walking distance from farms. But neighborhoods such as Naranja, Princeton, or Goulds have been facing a large transformation in recent years. Driven by limited land within Miami-Dade’s Urban Development Boundary and growing housing demand, developers have rapidly built medium density apartments, filling nearly every lot available along the South Miami-Dade Busway. But one developer is taking this transformation to another notch: RSS Developers. Rather than following the trend of 5-8 story buildings, the company is planning to build a 25 floor building on a wedge-shaped 1.42 acre lot.

The ground floor will oversee a range of uses, including 5,919 SF of commercial space, a lobby/leasing area, a bike parking room, and other miscellaneous uses. One of the most significant changes to the current site is the addition of wide sidewalks and enhanced landscaping. This transformation is beneficial for pedestrians who currently rely on a thin strip of sidewalks to traverse the busy and notoriously dangerous South Dixie Highway.

The development will also provide a total of 290 parking spaces, split between on-street parking and spaces within its 6-story podium. This total accounts for several parking reductions available to the property, such as a 25% reduction for workforce housing and a 30% reduction for being within a quarter-mile of a bus stop, among others.

It's amazing that even an area about 19 miles south of Miami is getting this type of development. This is close to the Southland area, isn't it? If Miami-Dade Transit was smart, they'd extend the Metrorail as far south as Zoo Miami and Southland Mall. Nice photos and hopefully this is a reality. Also, one wonders if this type of project would be built in a place like Homestead?

No place in the country is developing like South Florida. Period.

I mean this project is hilariously out of place in that neighborhood. I also wouldn't hold my breath on any transit expansion any time soon in the current political environment. DeSantis just vetoed funding for running commuter rail on the Brightline tracks that had been planned for years with stations and everything.
