The Valley at 22nd by VMS Architecture and Ballybunion Investments is moving forward with new density/heights according to a recent Pre-Application filing. The proposal is located at 5712 NW 22nd Ave in unincorporated Miami-Dade (Brownsville).

The project was originally submitted as an 8-story apartment complex with 67 units, 24 parking spots, and 1,850 SF of commercial space. The developers, however, are planning to increase those numbers. The new project will measure 17 floors and include 150 units, 1,052 SF of commercial space, and 47 parking spots. This will measure out, in total, to 126,787 SF of build-able space. Likewise, the highest occupied point will be 176 FT, making the tower the tallest in the area if built.

The units will be a mix of workforce housing and market-rate units ranging from one to two bedroom apartments. One bedroom units are 550 SF and two bedroom units are 810 SF. Meanwhile, the low parking requirements are due to reductions allowable under Miami code. For instance, the required 190 parking spaces are reduced 25% if the project includes workforce housing, 20% if its within 1/4 mile of a bus stop, and 60% for parcels between 15,000 and 30,000 SF. This project meets all those requirements, meaning 0 parking spaces can be built if needed.

As per Miami-Dade property records, the developer acquired the lot for $490,000 in 2021. The developer will most likely sell the property according to for-sale signs captured by google imagery in August, 2024. The lot currently houses an abandoned grass lot, creating limited environmental impacts in the case of demolition.
