The Astor Companies broke ground on Merrick Manor Residences in Coral Gables nearly a year after being approved by the Coral Gables Board of Architects.

The 10-story residential project, at 301 Altara Avenue, is across the street from the Village at Merrick Park. When completed, the Mediterranean-style development will have 227 units and nearly 20,000 square feet of retail space, according to a press release.

Astor Companies paid $4.2 million for the site in 2012, according to Miami-Dade County property records. The privately held real estate development firm focuses on multifamily properties. It’s also building InTown in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.
