City Park will redefine life in South Florida, where work, play and home can finally come together in one vibrant community. In a region where long commutes and high real estate prices make life a challenge, City Park will place everything from school and shops, to parks and workplaces, just a walk or bike ride away. It will make the dream of homeownership possible for a full range of buyers. And it offers amazing opportunities for individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and employers.
As City Park residents stroll about their daily lives, they’ll do so in a sustainable community featuring 250 acres of lakes, parks, nature trails, and community farm and gardens. Their homes will be designed and built to the latest FEMA and energy-efficiency standards strategies and can come equipped with recycling water devices and solar panels.
Connected Community. Powerhouse Economy.
City Park will serve as a powerful economic engine for West Kendall and all of Miami-Dade, with up to 1.4 million square feet of retail and entertainment, more than 500,000 square feet dedicated to medical, professional, co-working, and educational uses, and another 500,000 square feet for light industrial space.
Keep Jobs Where They Belong: Here.
High-quality companies will bring high-quality jobs. Retail operations such as wellness studios, restaurants, boutique entertainment venues, microbreweries and wineries will establish City Park as a destination for both residents and visitors - a place where people want to work, live, and gather.
