Electra America, BH score approval for first phase of $1B Southland Mall redevelopment

Cutler Bay officials signed off on a proposed eight-story, 470-unit apartment building with 14K sf of retail

Electra America and BH Group are launching the first phase of the joint venture’s proposed Southland Mall redevelopment with an eight-story apartment building. 

Town of Cutler Bay officials on Wednesday administratively approved the site plan for the project, which will entail 470 rental units, 14,000 square feet of retail and a parking garage, Town Manager Rafael Casals confirmed. It will be built on an outparcel of the 105-acre site at 20505 South Dixie Highway. 

Last month, the town also approved the conceptual master plan for Southplace City Center, an ambitious $1 billion mixed-use project that would surround the existing 808,776-square-foot indoor mall, city records show. 

Electra America, a subsidiary of Tampa-based American Landmark, and Aventura-based BH Group are proposing to add 4,395 apartments, a 150-room hotel, 60,000 square feet of medical office space, 150,000 square feet of retail out parcels and a community amphitheater. 

Each new segment of Southplace City Center will go through an administrative site plan approval process, said Ron Gaither, Electra America’s chief development officer.
