The retail center known as the Gateway Shopping Center was built in 2004, and the entire property totals 115,575 square feet. The site was purchased in 2002 for $1.4 million by the Valls Family.

Late last year, the Valls family filed plans to convert an old office condo building into a 125-room hotel at 3663 Southwest Eighth Avenue in Little Havana.

The Valls family is the owner of arguably the most well known Cuban restaurants in Miami and is active in South Florida real estate. Last year, a company led by Felipe Valls Jr. sold two shopping centers in Northwest Miami-Dade for $16 million.
