L&L Holding, Oak Row Equities, Shorenstein and Claure Group Celebrate Topping Out of the Residences at The Wynwood Plaza

Another Major Milestone at the One Million Square-Foot Mixed Use Campus under Construction in the Heart of Miami’s Famed Wynwood Arts District

L&L Holding Company and Oak Row Equities, along with project partner Shorenstein Properties and co-investor Claure Group, today announced the topping out of the Residences at The Wynwood Plaza (the “Residences”), the luxury apartment community the team is developing as part of a one million-square-foot mixed-use campus in Miami’s vibrant Wynwood Arts District.

Designed by Gensler, the Residences will comprise 509 thoughtfully appointed high-end rental units, ranging in size from spacious studios to two-bedroom apartments. The Residences will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, state-of-the-art appliances, luxurious finishes, and flexible layouts. L&L and Oak Row will begin welcoming residents in 2025.

The community’s expansive residential amenity program will feature multiple connected and activated rooftops with a designated fitness area, in addition to a multi-purpose sports court, two outdoor pools, a sauna, a hot tub and a cold plunge pool. Additional amenities include a glass atrium with co-working spaces, private phone rooms, a game lounge and a modern fitness center with top-of-the-line equipment and dedicated areas for yoga and much more.

Residents and their guests will benefit from a 26,000 square-foot, lushly landscaped public plaza by urban design practice Field Operations. The plaza’s signature element is a colorful mosaic paseo that will wind through a series of sculptures, art installations, native trees and other plantings.  The airy, stylish outdoor space will be surrounded by 32,000 square feet of retail, designed for a lively mix of indoor and outdoor dining, lifestyle boutiques, curated storefronts, convenience locations and fast casual spots.

“Our mission with The Wynwood Plaza is to curate a dynamic new destination that is every bit as vibrant, creative and authentic as the world-renowned arts district that surrounds it,” said L&L Holding Company Chairman & Chief Executive Officer David Levinson and President & Chief Investment Officer Robert Lapidus.  “The Residences at The Wynwood Plaza will help animate the community on a daily basis and serve as a magnet for artists, creative professionals, families and visitors.”

“Construction at The Wynwood Plaza is ahead of schedule and this milestone takes us closer to delivering one of the most significant projects in Wynwood,” said Erik Rutter and David Weitz, Managing Partners at Oak Row Equities. “Our rental residences and extensive amenities will set a new bar of luxury in Wynwood.”

“We’re thrilled to reach this development milestone alongside our partners,” added Claude Esposito, Vice President at Shorenstein. “The Residences’ combination of luxury housing, world-class amenities and access to expansive outdoor space—all in the heart of one of Miami’s most lively and culture-rich neighborhoods—make this an extraordinary project, and we look forward to bringing these units to the Wynwood community.”

“We are immensely proud to reach this significant milestone at The Wynwood Plaza project,” said Marcelo Claure, founder and CEO of Claure Group. “‘The Residences’ not only exemplifies our belief in the transformative power of real estate to create spaces that enhance lifestyles and catalyze economic growth, but also underscores our commitment to fostering community, luxury, and innovation, all within one of Miami’s most dynamic districts.”

This milestone follows the topping out of the development’s 12-story office tower in September. L&L, Oak Row and their partners are creating a bespoke office environment that places a premium on occupant health and wellness.  Also designed by Gensler, the office tower incorporates private tenant terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows for abundant natural light.  Tenants will also have access to an array of indoor and outdoor amenities, including a coffee bar, fitness club, conference and collaboration spaces, golf simulator and generous rooftop open space.

As partners and investors, prominent investment firm Claure Group, led by Marcelo Claure, is set to establish its 25,400-square-foot headquarters across the entire eighth floor. Additionally, acclaimed national law firm Weitz & Luxenberg will open its first Miami office, with 18,000 square feet across the second floor.
