Gunster shareholder Javier L. Vazquez was recently featured in The Real Deal for his role representing two developers planning separate three-story apartment projects near Baptist Hospital in Kendall, totaling 146 units.
Javi represented both the Serralta Family Trust, which is planning 67 apartments at 8401 Southwest 94th Street, and Cape Summit 69 Holdings LLC, which is planning 79 units at 9202, 9232 and 9262 Southwest 84th Avenue. Both projects seek district boundary changes and density bonuses available for developments within half a mile of Miami-Dade County's rapid transit corridor on Kendall Drive, which allows 36 units per acre and offers a 25 percent density boost for projects that include at least 10 percent workforce housing.
The projects will require approval at the Community Zoning Appeals Board.
