AvalonBay Proposes 166 Apartments on Coral Way Wedding Hall Site
National apartment developer AvalonBay Communities has proposed replacing a shuttered wedding hall in Miami’s Coral Way neighborhood with a new mid-rise residential development.The Arlington, Virginia-based company, through its affiliate Kanso Coral Way LLC, acquired the 1.5-acre property at 2340 S.W. 32nd Avenue and surrounding parcels for $11.12 million in December.
Project Details
The proposed development would include:- 166 apartments
- Eight stories
- 302,420 square feet
- 241 parking spaces (requesting a 10% reduction)
The project was designed by Baker Barrios Architecture and includes a fourth-floor pool deck but limited interior amenity space — signaling a focus on efficient design rather than luxury excess.
Neighborhood Compatibility
One key design feature is the building’s transition down to three stories on the west side, where it meets lower-scale residential homes. That portion includes walk-up townhouses and landscaped garden areas intended to blend with Coral Way’s existing character.The developer is seeking only one waiver: a 10% parking reduction.
A Broader Trend
AvalonBay has been increasingly active in South Florida, recently filing plans for additional redevelopment projects in South Miami.Coral Way remains one of Miami’s most desirable central corridors, offering access to Brickell, Coral Gables, and downtown. Mid-rise infill developments like Kanso Coral Way reflect the continued shift toward adding housing in established neighborhoods rather than expanding outward.
