Gulliver Prep Pulls $18M Classroom Permit, Moss Builds, Pinecrest

Gulliver Preparatory School has a building permit for a two-story classroom building at 6575 SW 88th St, in the Pinecrest area of Miami-Dade, and Moss & Associates is the contractor of record. Miami-Dade issued permit 2026072550 on Sept. 18 with an estimated value of $18 million.

Why it matters

For general contractors and subs, private-school campus work is a steady lane in South Florida, and this is a large one: one building, one owner, one of the region’s biggest GCs. Moss & Associates is headquartered in Miami, per the permit record, so the award stays with a local firm.

The permit lists the owner as Gulliver Preparatory and describes the work as classrooms in a school building. It does not name an applicant or an architect, so design and trade packages are not visible from the record.

The numbers

The record shows 32,498 square feet across two stories, at an estimated $18,000,000. That works out to about $554 per square foot, by our math. The figure is the applicant’s declared permit value, not a contract price or a final cost.

The permit is for a single building. We could not confirm from the record whether it belongs to a larger campus master plan, and we did not find a public announcement tying it to a specific phase. Details of any wider Gulliver campus program are omitted here as unverified.

What’s next

Watch for trade and sub bid activity, since a permit this size usually means packages are already awarded or close to it. Next public signals are inspection activity and any additional permits on the same folio, 2040360000750. We will track those for our South Florida coverage.
