Plans for ELEVEN55 NoMi include 384 apartments, consisting of studios, one, two and three-bedroom units. Amenities will include a pool, yoga rooms, a café, a pet spa, gym, lounge and quiet rooms, according to the release. ELEVEN55 is expected to break ground in late 2021.

The North Miami area has been a hot spot for developers building housing projects. In October, Global One Investment Group submitted plans for a 66-unit housing project close to North Miami,  and North MB Owner secured $71.3 million in refinancing for a 356-unit apartment building in North Miami Beach.

Last year, a joint venture between Miami Heat veteran Udonis Haslem’s Haslem Housing and Miami-based Magellan Housing planned to develop a 134-unit affordable housing rental apartment project in North Miami for low-income residents.
