13th Floor Investments and Adler Group, in collaboration with Miami-Dade County Transportation & Public Works have announced that Motion at Dadeland, a mixed-use project next to the Dadeland North Metrorail station, has officially completed construction and is welcoming its first residents. Motion at Dadeland was developed in partnership with Barings LLC, one of the world’s largest diversified real estate investment managers, which owns the property on behalf of institutional investors. Civic Construction acted as general contractor and played an instrumental role in executing the project on time and under budget.

Designed by Corwil Architects, Motion at Dadeland, a 25-story building featuring 294 luxury rental apartments and just under 8,000 square-feet (743 square meters) of retail space, is a multifamily community of apartments in the heart of Miami.  Located on South Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida, Motion at Dadeland sits directly adjacent to the Dadeland North Metrorail Station and the Dadeland Station retail center.

The transit-oriented development is intended to provide residents the opportunity to live adjacent to the Metrorail and be connected to the best that Miami has to offer without needing to worry about a car or traffic.

“The Downtown Dadeland submarket has become one of Miami’s most appealing areas for residential living,” said Michael M. Adler, CEO of Adler Group. “Motion at Dadeland provides residents the ability to enjoy the Dadeland area in a modern residential community while being directly connected to Brickell and Downtown Miami via the Metrorail.”

Motion at Dadeland is a class-A multifamily development featuring condo-quality finishes with sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami. Its amenities include a modern lobby, double-height amenity level on the sixth floor, fully-equipped fitness center with bay and skyline views, expansive pool deck, poolside cabanas, communal sun loungers, covered seating, media room, party lounge and a co-working center for its residents.

“Motion at Dadeland perfectly embodies what today’s renters are looking for: quality, connectivity and community,” said Arnaud Karsenti, Managing Principal of 13th Floor Investments. “The success of this is project is a testament to what can be achieved through the collaboration of the public and private sectors. We appreciate the confidence that Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works has shown in our partnership and in the future of transit-oriented development in Miami-Dade County.”

The completion of Motion at Dadeland will be celebrated with a ribbon cutting event, taking place on 11 April 2019. The ceremony will be led by Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Giménez, Miami-Dade Director of Transportation and Public Works Alice Bravo, and the project’s development team.

“Our partnerships with the private sector, transportation stakeholders and local governments have helped us to foster the development,” said Bravo. “Getting more people to live and work around transit is the ultimate solution for congestion, because it helps grow ridership and creates more livable communities.”

Mike Zammitti, Head of U.S. Real Estate Private Equity at Barings noted, “Motion at Dadeland is a prime example of executing on our investment strategy – targeting class-A development opportunities, in collaboration with best-in-class partners, in live-work-play locations within strong markets that are expected to outperform.”
