Miami-Dade Permit Wire: South Dade and Allapattah Apartments

Miami-Dade’s building department issued $27.5 million in new apartment permits this week, split between two separate rental projects on opposite ends of the county. The anchor filing went to Arq211 LLLP, which pulled a $21.0 million permit on October 29 for a 100-unit, 118,768-square-foot apartment building at 11155 SW 211th St in South Dade, a two-floor project the owner self-permitted as its own contractor of record. A day later, Re Opportunity Fund LLC pulled a $6.5 million permit for a 40-unit, 61,066-square-foot, four-floor apartment building at 5050 NW 22nd Ave in Allapattah, with Miami contractor T & G Corporation, doing business as T&G Constructo, listed as contractor.

Why it matters

Both filings are new rental supply in Miami submarkets that rarely lead this wire. South Dade’s 100-unit project is large enough, and self-permitted enough, that the ownership entity is effectively building without a third-party general contractor standing between it and the county, a structure more common among vertically integrated developers than one-off sponsors. Allapattah’s smaller filing adds 40 units to a corridor just northwest of the Health District that has drawn steady infill apartment activity. Neither project has a public marketing campaign yet, which puts both on record before either has a leasing website.

The numbers

Two new permits totaling $27.5 million landed this week. Arq211 LLLP’s permit 2027006123, issued October 29, covers 11155 SW 211th St in South Dade: $21.0 million, 118,768 square feet, two floors, 100 units, self-permitted with the owner as contractor. Re Opportunity Fund LLC’s permit 2027006587, issued October 30, covers 5050 NW 22nd Ave in Allapattah: $6.5 million, 61,066 square feet, four floors, 40 units, contractor T & G Corporation (T&G Constructo).

What’s next

Watch South Dade’s SW 211th Street corridor for a vertical-progress filing or a second phase from Arq211 LLLP, and watch Allapattah’s NW 22nd Avenue block for leasing activity once Re Opportunity Fund’s 40 units top out. Neither entity has a public track record under these names in this wire, exactly the gap this roundup exists to flag before either building comes out of the ground.
