ROVR Development has launched pre-leasing for Grand Station Apartments, a 30-story apartment tower with 300 residences in Downtown Miami. The first tenants are expected to begin to move-in this summer. The $70 million development is a transformative public-private partnership with the Miami Parking Authority (MPA), bringing a combination of residential floorplans to MPA’s headquarters at 40 NW 3 Street and expanding the existing garage at Courthouse Center with 350 parking spaces.

ROVR Development, led by Principals Oscar Rodriguez and Ricardo Vadia, are developing the project, and Monument Real Estate Services (MRES), an A-Rod Corp Company, will be the property manager.

“Downtown Miami was in immediate need of luxury housing that brought residents close to the city’s renowned amenities and transportation options that take them anywhere in South Florida,” said Rodriguez. “Working alongside the Miami Parking Authority, we were able to creatively use their existing space and enhance their own facilities, demonstrating the positive results that ultimately benefit residents when a public-private initiative such as this one takes place.”

Residences come in studios, one- and two-bedroom layouts and will feature high-end finishes such as custom Italian cabinets, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, walk-in closets and a full-size washer and dryer. Net effective rents for residences start at $1,277, $1,427 and $1,963, respectively.

Amenities will include an expansive New York-inspired rooftop terrace, an outdoor kitchen with grilling area and an oversized swimming pool with sun deck and several hot tubs, offering residents views overlooking Downtown Miami. Grand Station Apartments will also feature an upscale amenities deck with a variety of Class A finishes will feature a full-size state-of-the-art fitness center, wellness treatment and spa rooms with an indoor heated soaking pool, a computer and business center, and a clubroom, as well as an indoor/outdoor spa to unwind. The community will also include a concierge service, dog spa with pet station, bike storage and 24-hour package lockers.

Grand Station Apartments was designed by Miami-based Zyscovich Architects and Anillo, Toledo, Lopez LLC, The project will bring residents within proximity of Miami’s most important transit systems. Government Center’s Metrorail, Metromover and bus hubs, as well as MiamiCentral which features the tri-county rail service Brightline and will eventually include TriRail, are within a five-minute walk of the property.

“The delivery of this project next to the region’s most important transit centers is an indicator of the possibilities that exist to improve Miami’s urban core,” added Vadia. “It’s a convenient solution serving local office workers, Miami Dade College students and employees in the Health District, along with other members of our community. We look forward to showcasing Grand Station’s functional amenities and setting a new standard for transit oriented development.”
