A new luxury multifamily development is headed to the Coral Gables Development Review Committee, as developers seek approvals for a four-story residential building known as 300 Malaga. Recently submitted by Roger Development Group and designed by Nichols Architects, the project is scheduled to appear before the committee on May 29, 2026.
Planned for 300, 310, and 318 Malaga Avenue in Coral Gables, the development would replace three existing single-family homes assembled by the developer in late 2025 for roughly $2.4 million.
Zoning documents tied to the proposal reveal that the entire block recently underwent a series of land-use and zoning modifications, with the Future Land Use designation updated to allow a range of residential zones, including Single-Family High Density, Multifamily Duplex Density, and Residential Multifamily Medium Density.
The changes were made through a petition process backed by a majority of residents living on the block. Alongside the land-use amendments, the area also received updated height regulations and other zoning revisions intended to accommodate future redevelopment.
The changes represent yet another single-family block in the southern portion of Coral Gables for potential redevelopment, as pressure for new housing continues pushing outward from the city’s increasingly constrained core. With large redevelopment sites becoming more difficult to find, smaller residential assemblages like this are beginning to emerge more frequently as viable multifamily investments.
According to plans submitted to the city, 300 Malaga will contain 25 residential units consisting of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom layouts. Units are expected to be notably large, with three-bedroom residences making up the majority of the project.
Amenities will be on the rooftop level, where plans call for a pool, cabanas, bathrooms, barbecue areas, fitness space, and additional leisure-oriented amenities overlooking the surrounding neighborhood.
Parking will be housed below grade, with 55 spaces planned within a basement garage. At street level, the project incorporates widened sidewalks, added landscaping, and a small residential lobby.
According to submitted elevations, the building will rise 56 feet and contain four occupiable floors, plus a rooftop amenity level that gives the structure the appearance of a fifth story. Architecturally, the project leans heavily into the traditional design language favored by Coral Gables, featuring a highly articulated facade composed of precast stone finishes, smooth stucco, and cornice detailing.
Describing the inspiration behind the project, Nichols Architects stated that 300 Malaga “pays tribute to the assemblage of rich Architectural styles in Coral Gables. The inspiration for our residential project is French style architecture and several historic French-themed villages around the city.”
Approval of the project is widely expected given both its scale and architectural approach. While updated zoning on the block now permits buildings up to five stories, the proposal remains below the maximum allowable height.
