No other significant new construction projects meeting the criteria (announced, under construction, or recently completed within the last 3 years) were identified specifically within the City of West Miami. The city is small, largely built-out, and primarily features existing single-family homes with limited large-scale residential or mixed-use activity. A 2025 zoning/land-use amendment was approved for two properties on SW 8th Street to allow “Corridor Residential” development (up to 80 units per net acre), but no specific project has advanced to construction or detailed announcement. Older affordable/senior housing projects (e.g., Ludlam Trail-related) predate the recent timeframe.
