CEDARst Cos. has begun construction on its first Florida development. The 350,000-square-foot mixed-use apartment project is in the heart of Miami’s emerging Little River neighborhood and will offer 191 units and 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.
“This is a pivotal project for us,” says Mark Heffron, co-founder and CDO at CEDARst Cos. “Little River offers the ideal canvas for us to do what we do best—deliver high-quality, amenity-rich housing in neighborhoods on the rise.”
Slated for completion in May 2027, the residential mix includes 52 studio, 84 one-bedroom, 43 two-bedroom, and 12 three-bedroom apartments. In addition to 302 parking spaces, the amenities will include a coworking lounge, a golf simulator with two hitting bays, dual sports lounges, an indoor pickleball court, and a landscaped pool deck. A dedicated wellness area will offer a dry sauna, a cold plunge, a hot tub, and a full fitness center, anchored by a two-story indoor lounge.
The 8,000 square feet of flexible retail space will feature soaring 18-foot ceilings, designed to activate the streetscape and enhance walkability. Designed by ODP Architecture and Design and built by Hogan Brothers, the project is just east of the newly approved Little River District, a $3 billion, 63-acre mixed-use development.
“We’re building on the momentum we’ve seen along Biscayne Boulevard,” adds Heffron. “This project is ideal for residents looking for proximity for all that Miami has to offer, without the congestion of Wynwood or the other downtown neighborhoods.”
The firm’s entry into Miami represents a significant milestone in the firm’s national momentum, adding to its portfolio across eight states totaling 7,500 units in various stages of development.
