Downtown Condos - Kendall Drive
Transforming Miami-Dade’s “Edge City”

The Master Plan and Overlay Code for Downtown Kendall is the product of a June 1998 charrette dealing with a high density urban center in Miami-Dade County. The study area contains transportation corridors and intersections of four heavily traveled, regional roadways that crisscross a high intensity of retail, office, hotels, and nearby residential neighborhoods. The study area has experienced remarkably fast growth, but poor pedestrian accessibility and visual blight are prominent in Downtown Kendall, as in most such auto-oriented suburbs.

Dadeland Kendall Change Over Time
Thirty years ago Kendall Drive was a narrow country road and Dadeland Mall’s first buildings were sprouting at the rural edge of a young metropolis. Today this location is imbedded in the suburban growth that followed, closer to Downtown Miami and the coastal edge than to the western or southern reaches of metropolitan development. The region’s recent commitment of re-directing growth away from rural areas and back to the transportation corridors of the earliest settlements, is slowly taking form with the first building projects heeding the visionary call of Eastward, Ho! The Downtown Kendall plan is a response to this vision. Mixed-use buildings will front upon a network of interconnected streets, parking garages will be placed mid-block to replace the vast expanses of surface parking, and transit is being re-integrated into the area.

Town Center and Dadeland Area
The Dadeland urban core is rapidly becoming one of the most desirable residential and commercial destinations in all of South Florida. It has developed over the past thirty-years into an important central core of Miami-Dade, with a location that is nothing short of amazing. One of the most compelling aspects of Dadeland is its appeal to the international market. Every year, thousands of people visit Dadeland Mall for its shopping. Many of those Dadeland area visitors now own homes in the exciting new residential developments that fill the Dadeland condo area. Town Center at Dadeland will be a blend of commercial, retail and residential condominiums, all within an urban town center, accented by wide, pedestrian-friendly walkways and plazas. With access to mass transit, shopping and every conceivable amenity, Town Center at Dadeland, the urban triangle is bordered by U.S. 1, Kendall Drive and the Palmetto Expressway  has become one of the country's most desirable addresses.

DadelandCondos -by Chamber South

The plan for Downtown Kendall was instigated by the local chamber of commerce, property owners, and neighbors. In a public in summer 1998, Dadeland Mall area business leaders and citizens gathered together to chart a course for evolving the thriving suburban mall and surrounding sprawl into a metropolitan center that better leverages its unique place in the regional transportation system. The Master Plan and Overlay Code for "Downtown Kendall" resulted from a June 1998 study dealing with an emerging "edge city" urban center in Miami-Dade County. The study area lies at the convergence of several regional transit corridors (including two Metrorail stations) and the intersections of four heavily-traveled arterial roadways that crisscross an intense mixture of retailing, offices, hotels, and residential neighborhoods. The study area also includes the famous Dadeland Mall. While the area has experienced remarkably fast growth, the development is extremely fragmented; poor pedestrian accessibility and visual blight dominate this auto-oriented situation. Dover-Kohl and DPZ collaborated to produce the plan and a graphic Code, under the direction of a steering committee created by Chamber South, Miami-Dade County government, and citizen organizations. One of the county's first malls, Dadeland features more than 175 specialty shops, anchored by four large department stores: Burdines, JCPenney, Lord & Taylor, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Sixteen restaurants serve from the adjacent Treats Food Court. New retail stores are constantly springing up around this centerpiece of South Miami suburbia. If you're not in the area, however, the mall is not worth the trek. Additionally, many non-Spanish-speaking people are put off by Dadeland because of the predominance of Spanish-speaking store employees.

Downtown Dadeland Kendall?
"That's right: a downtown Kendall. The phrase itself turns heads. The suburban community of Kendall in south Miami-Dade Country has many of the ingredients of the modern metropolis, but lacks a proud, recognizable center. That is about to change. The area around Dadeland Mall and Datran Center is ready to mature into a proper town center. It is slated for a new generation of growth and change…it will emerge as a cosmopolitan, urbane district and a lasting economic powerhouse. The challenge is to grow in an orderly pattern that benefits everyone. The area has long been poised for high intensity development. Since it opened in the 1960's, Dadeland has gradually become a regional destination and an international sensation…Expressways have provided even greater access to the area. Miami-Dade Transit Authority focused the Metrorail system at Dadeland because of the area's growing regional importance. The Datran Center with its mix of office and hotel functions is a result of public policies channeling growth to specific activity centers.

Large Texas developer plans to hold onto Dadeland condos project

By Marilyn Bowden
One of the nation's largest residential developers is building a condo community in the bustling Dadeland Mall area.
Fairfield Development, headquartered in Texas, has 35 years of development experience nationwide, but Vice President Omar Del Rio said the company's focus in the Miami area has been to sell projects under construction or rehabilitation, often to condo converters. Toscano, the company's Dadeland project, represents a departure from that strategy. Mr. Del Rio said it's the first South Florida development Fairfield will retain through completion. "Fairfield loves markets with high barriers to entry such as Southern California, the District of Columbia and Boston," Mr. Del Rio said. "These are markets where it's tougher and more expensive to build and where it takes more time to get a project entitled. This is where we have our expertise." Although Fairfield has been a major apartment developer, he said, "due to years of low interest rates, the rental market throughout the country lost a good deal of clientele, especially on the high end. Everyone is buying, and with construction costs going through the roof, it's tough to make a rental work." Fairfield announced that sales have begun for Toscano, a 25-story, 396-unit community with ground-level retail that is under construction at 7360 N. Kendall Dr., across the street from Dadeland Mall in one direction and Publix in another.

The first phase will be completed early next summer, said Mr. Del Rio. Ron Shuffield, president of Esslinger Wooten Maxwell Realtors, which is marketing the condos, said 66 were sold in the first weekend on the market. He said he anticipates a 50% sellout by the end of this month. "We are dealing with a lot more users than most projects through the contacts our salespeople have," he said. "Since the first phase of the project is visibly under way and will be ready in a year, it's not like buying during presales." He said units range from 687 to 2,499 square feet and are priced from the low $200,000s. Buyers tend to be younger people or empty-nesters, he said, who want to be near rapid transit and be able to walk to conveniences. The sales center is in Dadeland Mall next to Saks Fifth Avenue. Mr. Shuffield said the Multiple Listing Service shows an inventory of only 60 existing condos for resale in the 11 square miles between Kendall Drive, US 1, 136th Street and Florida's Turnpike. "We're selling about 25 a month," he said, "so that's less than a three-month level of inventory. It shows there's a real shortage of condo units in this area." The county's zoning department lists more than 3,000 condos planned for the Dadeland area, but Mr. Shuffield said fewer than 1,000 are under construction. "The buildout will be staggered," he said.

Toscano, designed by Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolf & Associates, will consist of two main buildings with differing unit styles, Mr. Del Rio said. The first phase, a five-story building fronting Kendall Drive, will feature ground-floor retail topped by four levels of residential units built around a courtyard. The second residential tower will be 25 stories high.

Because the county has mandated concealed parking facilities for construction near Dadeland, Mr. Del Rio said, residential units will wrap around the garage. A tri-level bridge connecting the two buildings to facilitate access to parking will house a gymnasium, he said.
Amenities include a 25,000-square-foot recreational deck with heated swimming pool and whirlpool spa, a fitness center with cardio and free-weight equipment, an exercise studio, sauna rooms and a meditation garden. Among residential projects planned or under way in Dadeland are the335-unit Towers of Dadeland at Dadeland North Metrorail station; Downtown Dadeland Condos, 416 units at Southwest 88th Street and Dadeland Boulevard; the Colonnade, 555 units at Southwest 82nd Street and Southwest 72nd Avenue; and Renaissance at Dadeland, 245 units at 8100 SW 72nd Ave.
