Hibiscus Grove, a newly proposed affordable and workforce housing development by Integra is moving forward. The building previously received approval for 270 units, but they’re hoping to amend their site plan and ASPR approval for 300 units. Exact numbers are unknown, but the developer has stated they’ll provide 40% or more of the units as affordable housing.

To accommodate the 300 units, there will be 295 parking spaces and 12 bicycle parking spaces. 5,751 SF of retail space, a community center, and a leasing office will be on the bottom floor.

The tower will rise 11 floors or 107 FT to the roof and about 117 FT to the elevator shaft.

Because the development is transit accessible, a new sidewalk will be built that connects the tower to the existing busway. On E. Hibiscus Street and Homestead Ave, there will be added parallel parking for retail spaces. Canopy greenery is significantly reduced from the existing site (67,425 Sf of canopy reduced to 11,100 SF via plans last year). Replacement greenery will be a mix of native and foreign landscaping that provide shade and aesthetics.

The location is 9948 W Hibiscus St, Unincorporated Miami Dade. Renderings and drawing are from Lantz-Boggio Architects & Interior Design.
