• Related Urban, the affordable housing division of Related Group, has filed plans for Magnus Grove and Stirrup Plaza, a two-tower mixed-income development at 3181 Douglas Road and 3150 Mundy Street in Miami.
• The project will deliver 750 new apartments, bringing the total residential count to 818 units when existing homes that remain on-site are included.
• Located next to the Douglas Road Metrorail Station, the transit-oriented development will also feature a new public library, retail space, and resident amenities.

What Is Being Planned Near Douglas Road Station

Related Urban has submitted plans for one of Miami's largest mixed-income housing developments, transforming a 4.48-acre county-owned site at 3181 Douglas Road and 3150 Mundy Street in Coconut Grove. The proposal includes two residential towers totaling 750 new apartments, replacing aging affordable housing communities with a significantly larger transit-oriented neighborhood. When 68 existing residences that will remain on-site are included, the completed development will contain 818 homes. The site is located adjacent to the Douglas Road Metrorail Station, making it one of the most transit-connected residential developments currently planned in Miami-Dade County.

What the Two Towers Will Include

The development consists of two distinct residential towers designed by Cohen Freedman Encinosa & Associates Architects. Magnus Grove will rise 22 stories and include 348 apartments, while Stirrup Plaza will stand 25 stories with 402 apartments. The community will offer a mix of affordable, workforce, and market-rate housing, with floor plans ranging from one- to three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments will make up the largest share of the project. Each tower will feature its own resident amenity deck and swimming pool, creating separate recreational spaces while maintaining a unified master-planned community.

What Additional Amenities Are Planned

Beyond new housing, the project includes several neighborhood-serving amenities designed to activate the surrounding area. Magnus Grove will dedicate approximately 7,650 square feet for a new Miami-Dade Public Library branch, while Stirrup Plaza will include more than 7,200 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space. Plans also call for 811 parking spaces, including 55 bicycle parking spaces, supporting residents while encouraging transit use thanks to the development's location next to Metrorail.

What This Means for Miami

The proposal represents a major investment in transit-oriented housing and highlights the growing use of Florida's Live Local Act to accelerate mixed-income residential development. The project will move through Miami-Dade County's administrative review process using both the Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ) regulations and the Live Local Act, allowing greater residential density near major transit infrastructure. If approved, Magnus Grove and Stirrup Plaza will significantly expand housing options near the Douglas Road station while replacing older affordable housing with modern residences, new public amenities, and neighborhood-serving retail. The development also reflects Related Urban's continued focus on creating mixed-income communities that combine affordable, workforce, and market-rate housing in transit-accessible locations.
