by Kristin Harlow January 10, 2024

MIAMI — Whitman Family Development has submitted plans for a mixed-use project at its Bal Harbour Shops in Miami’s Bal Harbour village. Plans call for 600 apartment units, 40 percent of which are earmarked for workforce housing and 60 percent of which will be luxury housing. There will also be a 70-room, 20-story hotel and an additional 45,700 square feet of retail space. Bal Harbour Shops comprises more than 100 shops, restaurants and entertainment options. The open-air, luxury retail center, which is home to brands such as Chanel, Gucci, Tiffany & Co. and Valentino, is currently undergoing a $550 million retail expansion that will add about 250,000 square feet, nearly doubling the center’s current retail space.

The three-building project will include 145,000 square feet of Class A office space. The overall development was originally announced as Reflections at City Center in summer 2022.

That process took on a life of its own, and we decided to change the development name accordingly.” As a salute the original project name, the apartment complex has been named Reflections Apartments. The 338-unit complex is slated for completion in summer 2025. The office portion of The Quarry will include three buildings totaling 25,000 square feet, 55,000 square feet and 65,000 square feet.
