River 8 Apartments

River 8 sits within a ten-minute walk from the Miami Health District, one of the largest concentrations of medical and research employment in the Southeast. Jackson Memorial Hospital, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and the Miami VA Medical Center anchor the district, and together with the courts and county offices of the Miami-Dade Civic Center, they support thousands of jobs within blocks of the property. For the doctors, nurses, residents, researchers, and public employees who work there, River 8 offers a short walk to work. The location combined with the 2-bedroom unit mix keeps occupancy strong and turnover low. Just 0.6 miles away, River Landing Shops and Residences has become the neighborhood’s everyday destination. The 2.2 million-square-foot riverfront project includes roughly 360,000 square feet of retail, 135,000 square feet of Class A office space, and 528 market-rate apartments. Its retail lineup covers most daily needs in one stop: Publix, Hobby Lobby, Chase Bank, AT&T, Planet Fitness, Old Navy, and Ulta Beauty, along with Ross Dress for Less, TJ Maxx, and Pet Supermarket. The office side is also a major source of local jobs. Its largest tenants are the Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County and the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, the biggest prosecutor’s office in Florida with about 1,200 employees. The surrounding blocks are changing quickly. Within a five-block radius of River 8, ten multifamily projects totaling 2,298 units have either been completed in the last five years or are now under construction or planned. Six of those projects have delivered since 2021 and adding 1,276 units. Four more projects totaling 1,022 units, are scheduled for 2027 and 2028, the largest of which is Revv River District at 502 units being developed by Calta Group, followed by River District 14, Eco Landing, and Triangle. This much new construction adds to the growing vibrancy of the neighborhood, and it confirms the the presence of so many well-paying jobs in the immediate area.
