299 Minorca

299 Minorca Avenue, Coral Gables, FL 33134

299 Minorca is a proposed eight-story condominium planned for 299 Minorca Avenue in Coral Gables, a walkable address in one of Miami-Dade County's most established and architecturally controlled cities. The project is being brought forward by Constellation Group together with The Boschetti Group, with design by Hamed Rodriguez Architects, and is planned to hold 57 residences within its eight floors. Those homes are compact by design, ranging from about 502 to 931 square feet, and are intended for short-term rental use, a positioning that speaks directly to buyers who want a pied-à-terre in Coral Gables rather than a full-time family residence. The scale is modest and urban, closer to a European apartment building than to the glass towers of the coast, and the program is rounded out with roughly 4,820 square feet of commercial space at the base, the kind of ground-floor tenancy that keeps a residential street active through the working day and into the evening. Planned amenities are concentrated rather than sprawling: a fitness center on the second floor and, on the eighth floor, a rooftop pool deck and lounge that would give residents an elevated outdoor room above the street and a reason to spend evenings in the building. The project was in the approvals stage in the most recent coverage available, from June 2024, which means details remain subject to the city's review and to change as the design advances through entitlement. For buyers watching Coral Gables for a smaller, rental-friendly entry point, 299 Minorca is worth following closely, since buildings of this size and this program are uncommon in the city's core, where most new residential construction arrives at a far larger scale and a far higher price of entry, and where the walkable blocks around the business district remain the most consistently desirable addresses in the submarket.
