A major development was approved for the South

A major development was approved for the South Miami Hometown District, which is a walkable, mixed-use, transit-oriented center in the City of South Miami. The 3-block, 5-acre First National Bank of South Miami property will be developed as a mixed-use center with the company’s new banking facilities, 108 residential units including apartments and townhouses, office space, street-oriented retail, restaurants, and parking (see aerial image). Dover, Kohl & Partners of South Miami, which created the 80-acre Hometown plan 10 years ago, drew the detailed urban plans for the bank project. Chael, Cooper & Associates and Touzet Studios created the architectural designs.
