Alta Development Announces SoMi Walk for Sale
Alta Development has officially announced that SoMi Walk, a monumental student housing project in South Miami, is now available for qualified buyers. Situated in the vibrant downtown of South Miami, this impressive 16-story tower will feature 173 luxurious apartments and 673 individual beds, making it an attractive investment opportunity in the realm of purpose-built student accommodations. Construction is currently underway, and the building is expected to receive its Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) by June 2028, aligning with the start of the Fall 2028 academic year.
SoMi Walk is strategically located just five minutes from the prestigious University of Miami campus, offering ease of access for students. Additionally, its proximity to the South Miami Metrorail station, which is only two minutes away, provides residents with a convenient commuting option to the university. This accessibility is invaluable, especially in one of the most supply-constrained university markets in the country.
The residences at SoMi Walk are designed for luxury and comfort, with each unit fully furnished and structured as rent-by-the-bed accommodations. Every resident will enjoy a private bedroom and bathroom, further enhancing the living experience. The amenities provided will compete with those of high-end resorts, featuring a variety of options including:
- - Two stunning pool decks, one on the rooftop and another on the third floor.
- - A state-of-the-art wellness center equipped with all necessary fitness technology.
- - Relaxation facilities such as cold plunge pools and sauna.
- - Room for social activities including golf simulators and rooftop paddleball.
- - Quiet study areas to foster an optimal environment for academic success.
Henry Pino, principal of Alta Development, emphasizes that SoMi Walk stands out as an institutional investment opportunity due to the rarity of purpose-built luxury student housing projects reaching the market. "The project is de-risked and already progressing towards a completion timeline that benefits buyers, especially in an area with so much demand and limited supply of quality housing for students," he stated.
Interested investors are encouraged to consider this unique opportunity. Pre-leasing has already commenced, supported by a robust marketing campaign aimed at attracting prospective residents. For those seeking an investment in South Miami's burgeoning real estate market or looking to cater to the needs of the local student population, this project promises both reliability and lucrative returns.
