Related Urban targets aging Coconut Grove housing for two-tower project

Summary by The Miami Editorial Desk · Based on reporting from The Real Deal · July 21, 2026 · 1 min read

Related Urban Development Group wants to replace the majority of an aging public housing complex in Coconut Grove with high-rise apartments that contain some affordable housing under Florida’s Live Local Act. The Miami-based affordable housing subsidiary of Related Group filed plans for Magnus Grove

Why this matters in The Miami

The proposal to redevelop the aging public housing complex in Coconut Grove raises questions about the balance between preserving affordable housing and introducing market-rate units in a neighborhood with rising property values. As Miami-Dade County continues to grapple with affordability and gentrification, the fate of this 6.1-acre site will be closely watched by residents and community leaders. The fact that the project would replace a significant portion of existing affordable housing with new units, albeit with some affordable options, may spark concerns about displacement of long-time residents. Coconut Grove, with its unique character and proximity to Miami's urban core, is a prime example of the challenges of managing growth and preserving community identity in a rapidly changing city. The county's decision on this project will have implications for the neighborhood's future and the broader conversation about affordable housing in Miami-Dade County.
