Uribe Schwarzkopf Unveils MVRDV-Designed WOMA in Wynwood Norte
Renderings for the Quito-based developer's debut American project put a starchitect name and a 163-unit program on Wynwood's less-covered northern edge.
Quito-based developer Uribe Schwarzkopf has released renderings for WOMA, a Dutch firm MVRDV-designed mixed-use development slated for the northeast corner of NW 5th Avenue and NW 32nd Street in Wynwood Norte, marking the company’s first ground-up project in the United States. Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture is architect of record. The building is planned for 163 residences, from micro-units to three-bedroom layouts, plus four duplex atelier units and a penthouse, alongside 13 retail spaces and 16 offices.
Why it matters
Wynwood Norte sits north of the gallery district that made Wynwood famous, and it has drawn far less coverage even as land values there start to move. A starchitect firm landing its name on a site here, backed by a developer with no prior U.S. track record willing to pay for that design pedigree, is an early signal of where the neighborhood’s product type and pricing are headed next. For Miami developers scouting the edges of already-hot submarkets, WOMA is the kind of leading indicator that shows up in renderings years before it shows up in comps.
The numbers
Uribe Schwarzkopf assembled the roughly 1.1-acre site, a former coffee-roasting company property near the Bakehouse Art Complex, for $25 million in 2026. Units are priced from $380,000 to $1.2 million, with a sales center that opened September 3, 2026. The design stacks offset volumes around a central elevated plaza and wraps the building in a textile-inspired facade in blue, green, orange, red and silver, a nod to Wynwood’s garment-manufacturing history. Rooftop amenities include a semi-Olympic pool, wellness terrace, sauna and pickleball court. No permit or board item at this address currently appears in Miami’s public permit or approvals record.
What’s next
The developer is targeting a groundbreaking as early as March or April 2027, with completion projected for late 2029. That timeline puts the first real test of the project, whether preconstruction sales convert at the pace the pricing assumes, roughly a year out. Until then, the next milestone to watch is when the project’s first formal land-use or building permit filing surfaces in county records.
