Gallery in The Grove, a mixed-income high-rise, is being proposed by The Related Urban Development Group to transform the Gibson Plaza housing site at 3160 Mundy Street in Coconut Grove, Miami. The project is the final qualifier for a previous ‘Request for Proposal’ (RFP) instituted in 2023, aiming to develop the site into a mixed-income building with market rate units, workforce housing, and affordable units. Gallery in the Grove will include 345 units, a 7,800 SF library, a 5,500 SF wellness center, and 303 parking spaces. To be more specific, there will be 36 units, 163 1 bedroom units, and 146 2 bedroom units. The building will encapsulate approximately 248,265 net rentable SF.
The tower will demolish existing housing on-site. However, current units are not public housing, but apartments with existing HAP contracts with the US department of Housing and Urban Development. Hence, the demolished site will transfer its existing HAP contracts to the new tower, while also incorporating deeply affordable units (exactly 46 units through the Restore-Rebuild program).
The new highrise will be among the tallest towers in the area, rising 20 floors or 213 FT according to elevations. For context, the recently constructed Cascade Link at Douglas rises 37 floors and is merely blocks away. The highrise will be among 2 other buildings on site also with attainable housing.
Site plan photos show the mentioned 7,800 SF library fronting Douglas Road, with linear units lining the parking podium to provide adequate pedestrian activation along both Day Avenue and Douglas Road. A wellness center will front Mundy Street and Day Avenue. Likewise, residents have access to an amenity deck on level 6, adding a large pool, seating, a club room, a health club, and co-working space.
Cohen Freedman Encinosa is the official architect on site. The development is located at 3160 Mundy Street, Miami FL.
