Downtown Doral

miami-real-estate
As another addition to the Miami real estate market, Downtown Doral is a new mixed use project under development in Doral. Situated just north of the Miami International Airport, Downtown Doral is one of a handful of new projects underway in the Miami suburbs.  Another benefit of its location is that is adjacent to the world-renowned Blue Monster Course at the Doral Golf Resort and Spa which has just gone through a major overhaul. 

Bordering the Miami/Doral line, it is a massive undertaking that will definitely put that part of the county on the map.  According to Armando Codina, President and CEO of Flagler, "Downtown Doral will be vital to Doral because it is creating a true city center which will allow people to live near their work, an option that Doral has been longing for.” The plans for Downtown Doral include retail, dining, office space and more.  Additionally, there will be four and a half acres of green space as well as three miles of pedestrian-friendly streets.  The goal of Downtown Doral is to give residents that cozy, small-town atmosphere within a large metro area and is destined to become one of the most sought after areas in all of the Miami real estate. “This is not a project, this is a city,” said Codina in a recent article.
