Dezer Development has submitted plans for a substantial residential project at 1890 NE 146th Street in North Miami, according to Hoodline. The proposed development would include 600 apartments spread across three buildings, with a focal point 14-story tower anchoring the site. The project represents a significant commitment to residential density in an area traditionally dominated by industrial and commercial uses.
The development is designed to leverage Miami's Special Downtown Transit-Oriented Development (SDTOD) density pool, a regulatory framework that allows developers to build taller and denser projects in designated areas. This approach reflects broader trends in South Florida real estate, where developers increasingly convert underutilized industrial zones into mixed-use residential neighborhoods to meet growing housing demand in the Miami metropolitan area.
The North Miami industrial strip has attracted growing attention from residential developers in recent years as land values in core Miami neighborhoods continue to climb. Projects like this could help address South Florida's persistent housing shortage while revitalizing corridors that have historically served logistics and manufacturing tenants. The outcome of Dezer's proposal may signal whether North Miami's industrial character is shifting toward residential-focused mixed-use development.
