Miami is a city of perpetual “Next Big Things.” So it’s no surprise that a once meh industrial area studded with warehouses is now bubbling up as the hottest ’hood for luxury living, retail and dining. Introducing, Merrick Park.
Situated smack-dab in the middle of Coral Gables, easily one of the ritziest home market in the US, the Merrick Park District (MPD for shorthand) is seeing a new wave of residential projects, including Merrick Manor, the Henry, Belmont Village, the Watermark, LifeTime, and the latest, the Cassia Residences.
Brown Harris Stevens broker Philippe Diener has personally called the area home for more than 30 years, and he’s witnessed the rapid, yet architecturally tasteful, transformation first-hand.
“The new development in and around the MPD reflects the area’s historic, Mediterranean style,” said Diener, noting that the area’s aesthetic is an antidote to bland contractor-modernism.
