MIAMI—Wood Partners has broken ground on Alta Dadeland, a $128 million mixed-use development with 431 apartment homes and 2,000 square feet of retail space next to the Dadeland Mall. The community is also within two miles of South Florida's largest employers, the University of Miami and Baptist Health South Florida.

“Alta Dadeland is within walking distance of the Dadeland Mall as well as Dadeland Station, a 350,000-square-foot lifestyle center anchored by Best Buy, Sports Authority, and Target,” says David Thompson, Florida development director for Wood. “There are two Metrorail stations in close proximity as well.”

Located on SW 72nd Avenue in Miami, the three-acre community will include 477,117 square feet of residential space, 2,116 square feet of retail space and 663 parking spaces. Designed by EDI International, the project calls for two towers connected by a pedestrian bridge.
