Norle Properties Pulls $73M Permit for 366-Unit Glenvar Heights Tower

Miami-Dade County issued a $73.2 million building permit on August 7 for 4383 SW 75th Ave in unincorporated Glenvar Heights, according to permit 2026063588 in the county’s RER database, tracked by The American Developer’s permit wire. The filing lists developer of record as Norle Properties Corp and contractor Coastland Construction Management Inc for an 8-story, 587,368-square-foot building with 366 units.

Why it matters

The address matches a site Norle Properties Corp and an affiliated Leal family trust have controlled since before 2024, when Coastland Residential first went public with plans for a workforce housing tower on the same warehouse-lined stretch of 75th Avenue near Tropical Park. That earlier proposal called for 371 units across 4201, 4321, 4351 and 4383 SW 75th Ave, with a share of units reserved for households earning up to 120 percent of area median income, and a second phase that could eventually push the combined site toward 780 apartments. A permit this size clearing the county now confirms that plan is moving from paper to a building department file, with Coastland’s construction arm named as contractor. For developers watching Glenvar Heights, an unincorporated pocket of Miami-Dade wedged between West Miami and Coral Gables, it marks one of the larger multifamily permits to clear the neighborhood’s industrial-to-residential shift this year.

The numbers

The permit values the work at $73,200,000 for 587,368 square feet across 8 floors and 366 units, a unit count close to but not identical to the 371-unit figure Coastland floated in 2024, typical drift between an early proposal and the plans that ultimately get permitted. Norle Properties Corp is the developer of record on the county filing. The site sits within the broader four-parcel assemblage on SW 75th Ave that Norle and Leal Capital Trust 2 have owned.

What’s next

Coastland Construction Management’s mobilization is the next visible marker after a permit this size clears Miami-Dade RER. The American Developer will track the county file for supplemental permits and any update on the second-phase site that could add several hundred more units to this corner of Miami.
