A 50-story mixed-use tower has been proposed at 1315 Northeast Miami Court in Miami’s Omni/Arts and Entertainment District. Filed by 1315 Partners LLC, an affiliate of Optimum Property Management, the development is designed by Behar Font & Partners and leverages its location in the Metromover Subzone of the Rapid Transit Zone to promote transit-oriented living.

The 526-foot (160.3-meter) building would span 558,940 square feet (51,927 square meters) and include 378 residential units, with 48 designated as workforce housing for households earning 60% to 140% of the county’s median family income. Units will range from 595 to 1,125 square feet, consisting of 38 studios, 184 one-bedroom units, and 156 two-bedroom units. Additional features include 1,150 square feet (107 square meters) of ground-floor commercial space, 321 parking spaces within a garage, and 14,667 square feet (1363 square meters) of open space. Amenities will be located on the 11th floor and rooftop and include pools and recreational areas for occupants.

Situated on a 26,368-square-foot site (0.61 acres) near the School Board Metromover Station, the development aims to enhance the pedestrian experience with wide sidewalks, colonnades, and active streetscapes. The project also aligns with Miami-Dade County’s goals to increase public transit use and reduce reliance on cars. Its design integrates with nearby public spaces and the planned pedestrian trail under the I-395 Signature Bridge, contributing to the neighborhood’s urban transformation.
