Soleste (Block 46)

Soleste Grand Central is a landmark $110 million Class A multi-family residential tower developed through a strategic public-private partnership with the SEOPW CRA, The Estate Companies, and PTM Partners. Constructed on CRA-provided land, the 18-story transit-oriented development features 360 premium apartment units utilizing an innovative mixed-income housing model. The building’s unit matrix intentionally blends market-rate, workforce, and affordable housing options, dedicating 80 units specifically to rent-restricted affordable housing. The complex integrates 6,500 square feet of street-level commercial retail space and 2,250 square feet of dedicated office space, all located just steps from the high-speed Brightline MiamiCentral transit hub.

Community Impact

This project represents Miami-Dade County's first large-scale, ground-up Opportunity Zone development, setting a new benchmark for equitable urban revitalization. By leveraging private equity alongside public land, the SEOPW CRA successfully introduced luxury-tier amenities and high-density housing into Historic Overtown while legally securing long-term affordability for local working families. Residents enjoy access to nearly an acre of community amenity spaces, including a resort-style pool deck, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a specialized pet care facility, co-working offices, and a gaming room. The development plays a major role in transforming the neighborhood into a walkable, 24/7 mixed-use community, capturing the economic energy of downtown transit lines to create local construction jobs and permanent retail employment without erasing the community's residential accessibility.
