AVENTURA, FL-Harbour Centre, a $47-million, 248,000 sf, 11-story office-retail undertaking, breaks ground this month on a four-acre bayfront site in this northeast Miami-Dade County suburb. Occupancy is targeted for year end 2001.

The complex will comprise 230,000 sf of office and 18,000 sf of ground-floor retail. A 6,500-sf outparcel is slated for a drive-in banking facility. On-site parking will be provided in a 1,000-space garage.

The developers are Gilbert Benhamou and Xavier Hawley in partnership with Louis Boulanger of LBI and attorney Mark Russo. Arquitectonica is the architect. The site is at 18851 NE 29th Ave. in this relatively small commercial submarket.
