Mill Creek Residential has recently entered the vertical construction phase of Modera Aventura South, a nine-story high-rise planned in northern Miami-Dade. The project, which is the second phase of the Modera Aventura development, is rising at 2681 NE 191 Street in Ojus near Aventura. The milestone follows the recent completion and preleasing of Modera Aventura North, and marks the next step in a multi-phase residential buildout reshaping the corridor.
Rising nearly half the height of its sister development, Modera Aventura South will top out at 9 stories compared with 15 for Modera Aventura North, and is expected to welcome its first residents in fall 2027. The project, which broke ground earlier this summer, will deliver 251 units, complementing the 420 homes completed in the first phase.
According to a LinkedIn post by Mill Creek superintendent Louie Forte, Modera Aventura South poured its first foundation just three weeks ago, totaling more than 400 cubic yards of concrete. Construction has since advanced to the structure, with first-floor columns beginning to rise about a week ago. Mill Creek Residential is overseeing construction in-house, serving as both the developer and general contractor for the project.
Modera Aventura South, once complete, will feature a range of units from one-bedroom to three-bedroom floorplans, with sizes spanning ranging from about 700 to nearly 1,400 SF. The development will provide residents with a large array of amenities, including a swimming pool with lounge areas, a sky terrace, a clubhouse, a spacious lobby, a fitness center, co-working spaces, and additional shared amenities.
The development will also include 2,572 SF of retail space at the corner of Harriet Tubman Highway and NE 191st Street. Residents and retail patrons will have access to a total of 444 parking spaces, slightly fewer than the 600 spaces provided in Phase One. This total includes 438 garage spaces and 6 on-street spaces, ensuring at least one space per unit.
When Floridian Development first touched on Modera Aventura South, the project had been reduced from the originally envisioned 15 stories to 8. Since that time, however, the developer has increased the building’s height to nine stories by introducing an additional floor toward the east side of the structure.
Designed by Corwil Architects, the development will feature a contemporary architectural palette dominated by white and gray tones, assisted by abundant greenery, metal balconies, large windows, and a mix of stucco and concrete finishes. According to building elevations released earlier this year, which reflect the final plans submitted to Miami-Dade County, the structure will rise approximately 107 FT.
Development activity in Ojus has reached an all-time high. Located just steps from a Brightline station and within close proximity to Aventura Mall, the area has seen a surge of new office, mixed-use, and residential proposals in recent years. Most recently, The Housing Trust Group (in partnership with AM Affordable Housing) completed construction on Oasis at Aventura, a 95-unit affordable apartment community located in Ojus.
