This is a really good idea. You can widen freeways and highways all you want, but it will just make traffic worse. The only thing that will fix traffic is mixed, use, walkable developments, just like this. Glad to see the city of Miami is finally waking up and beginning to use common sense.

Development done right! A rare thing in the US. In a state I wouldn't expect.

Everything about this development is fantastic except for one- the parking. There's way too much of it, and too much preferential treatment given to drivers for this to be a good TOD. This building has 1,250 parking spaces. Residents are encouraged to own multiple cars. Then you add in the fact that someone coming to shop gets two hours of parking for free but someone who comes by public transit pays a full fare, and this is another subsidy to drivers. FDOT has a manual published in 2011 for what TOD should look like, and it says that there should be a parking MAXIMUM of 1 space per residential unit, and 1 space per 1000 sq ft of nonresidential uses. Grove Central, with 402 residences and 170k sq ft of retail, should have a MAXIMUM of 572 parking spaces, but it has more than double. This is not TOD, this is a parking garage with some stuff for people added onto it.

If Miami construct more developments like these, it'll be a game changer.

Maybe also should built some of low income units and/or physical disability friendly units( also other one like Deafspaces, blind individual units, etc.).

This is awesome! Miami has changed so much since I lived down there.

I really think that all of Miami's stations should be upzoned for TOD like this. It is the easiest way to boost ridership on the metrorail. Plus with the expansion that Miami wants to do with the metrorail expanding it is so logical.

I appreciate your videos. I’m a Miami native.

Those apartment walls better not be thin, can you imagine hearing all that noise 😂

What a change! I used to live a couple of blocks from that station.

You should make a video about the Miami fade busway BRT

$1,700 for THAT? Miami is wilding

Sad about those obstructed views of the parking garage on the lower levels. They could at least hire some local artists to paint murals on it. The living space in the studio seems awfully cramped and the window is tiny.

Really nice video and footage of the development. I find this stuff super interesting!

El Franco, I pay $2000 a month for a studio in walkable and overpriced Dupont Circle in DC but it is a far better value than the less expensive but cramped studio in this video. Virtually no one owns a car in my building because Metro is only a 5 minute walk and Uber, Lyft and bikehare are readily avaiilable 24/7. Is that tiny peep hole the only window in the studio apartment? The Grove transit oriented development is a step in the right direction but Miami (and Florida) have a long way to go before it becomes a people friendly walkable community. Thanks for sharing.

Transit oriented? this is basically a strip mall with a big parking garage. This will barely put a dent on the traffic, in fact it could even make it worse.

I want this in gta vi

I hope Rockstar adds this Metro to the game and this area alone.

If it’s unaffordable, nope. Simple.

From the outside appearance, it looks hideous. A giant gray concrete block with paint thrown over it. The store signage on the garage looks like a toddler designed it. No design homework went into this thing. Edit: I should also add that this project took the park and ride Metrorail spots for the public to use. So now only the people living in this condo can effectively use the Metrorail platform at this train stop. Keeping them honest here, this project did not put a dent in the traffic problems. Unless that parking garage is open for the public to use, the only thing the county did was dug another hole.

That is horrible! Who would want to live like that?
