Mill Creek Residential has broken ground on Modera Aventura, a 420-unit mixed-use apartment community in the emerging Ojus neighborhood of northeast Miami-Dade County. Adjacent to Aventura, a planned suburban city along the Intracoastal Waterway, the new community will include 6,400 square feet of ground-floor retail.
“Aventura has received international acclaim as a premier living destination with a multitude of shopping and entertainment opportunities,” says Andrea Rowe, senior managing director of development in South Florida for Mill Creek. “We are extremely excited to get started on this community, particularly given the shortage of land available for new development in the immediate area and the booming South Florida market, in general. We are eager to help address the growing need for quality housing in the area and look forward to delivering a top-of-market experience.”
Modera Aventura, which will be built to National Green Building Standard silver certification, will include studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units with select den layouts and an average size of 951 square feet. Community amenities will include a swimming pool, grilling areas, an outdoor kitchen, landscaped courtyards, a resident clubhouse, communitywide Wi-Fi, coworking spaces, private workspaces, a conference room, an on-site dog park, and a club-quality fitness center with cardio equipment and a group fitness area.
The apartments will be finished with a variety of interior features, including 9- and 10-foot ceilings, wood plank-style flooring, Energy Star stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, 42-inch custom cabinetry, smart thermostats, built-in bars, full-size washers and dryers, mobile-app entry, and large private terraces. The bathrooms include soaking tubs, tile tub/shower surrounds, double vanities, and linen closets.
Valet dry cleaning, dedicated bike storage, a bike repair station, digital package lockers, controlled-access garage parking, and EV charging stations will also be available to residents. The community, which features a Walk Score of 89, is a few blocks south of a new Brightline train station and within a short drive of Interstate 95.
Modera Aventura will mark Mill Creek’s 10th development community in Miami and 16th in the South Florida market. First move-ins are anticipated for summer 2025 with a second phase in the planning stages.
