A South Florida-based real estate and investment firm, coined the Growin Group, is planning to join a plethora of developers investing in Ojus. Ojus has recently been caught in a whirlwind of development activity, sparked by the creation of the Ojus Urban Area District (OUAD) in 2006 and following amendments aimed at promoting mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly growth. Although the region didn’t see major developments until the completion of Beacon Tower in 2017, the area has been steadily developing office and multifamily development ever since.
Building on this momentum, the Growin Group plans to develop two nearly identical highrises: Eden at Aventura and Lev at Aventura designed by Gaviria Architects. Both buildings will offer the public 32 residences to choose from, ranging from 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedroom, or 3 bedroom units. Units will be generously sized, with none measuring less than 790 FT and most homes being planned as 2 bedroom layouts.
Residents will have access to a fitness center, sauna, and additional amenities such as a rooftop pool. The podium of each tower will also feature amenity spaces and storage areas designed to screen parked vehicles from public view. Each podium will accommodate parking for 60 cars, creating an approximate unit-to-parking ratio of 1:2 for both developments.
Given the site’s extremely condensed footprint, zero retail space will be planned. Instead, the ground floor will be composed of a lobby, bike storage, entrances and exits for parking garage circulation, and more.
Because plans appear to be preliminary, not much information is given regarding both buildings and their heights. While written statements call for both buildings to be 10 floors, this doesn’t factor in the ground floor which, in actuality, makes both buildings 11 stories tall. Given the standard in most developments is to provide ceiling heights of around 10 FT, it’s estimated the buildings will be at or more than 110 FT each.
Lev at Aventura will be located at 2520 NE 191 St while Eden at Aventura will be located at 2557 NE 190 St.
