Keystone Holdings has released preliminary plans for apartments blocks away from Miami International Airport. The development was filed on January 6th, 2025 under a pre-application request. As per a written statement and multiple detailed plans, the plans will progress pursuant to the Live Local Act and Miami-Dade’s Workforce Housing Development Program, adding at least 114 workforce units out of the 284 proposed. The units will range from studios, 1 bedroom/1 bath, 1 bedroom/1 bath + den, and 2 bedrooms/2 baths. The smallest unit size is a 464 SQFT studio.

Among the 284 proposed units is 266 parking spaces reduced from a required 439 spaces via a 25% parking reduction. This parking count is entirely possible due to the property being within 660 FT of a smart corridor. In addition, the development includes no retail space or office space, although it’s worth noting the plans are still extremely early regarding stages of design.

The developer is requesting 4 administrative changes, ranging from increases in lot coverage from 40% to 50%, to a reduction in the number of parking spaces lower than the 25% reduction already filed.

Lastly, elevations and site plans showcase a development measuring 16 floors to 156 FT, with lobby space fronting NW 57th Avenue. These elevations feature a parking podium wrapping around the entire base, totaling 3 floors.
