Grand Station Receives TCO for 300-unit Tower in Downtown Miami
Collaboration with the Miami Parking Authority on the development emphasizes Downtown Miami’s urban amenities; ease of access to transportation, entertainment and more
MIAMI (Oct. 20, 2021) – Grand Station Apartments, a transformative collaboration between Miami-based ROVR Development and the Miami Parking Authority (MPA), has received its TCO and residents have started to move-in.
The $70 million, 30-story apartment tower, located at 240 North Miami Avenue, features 300 beautifully appointed residences, and brings a combination of residential floorplans to MPA’s headquarters, while expanding the existing garage at Courthouse Center with 350 parking spaces.
Led by Principals Oscar Rodriguez and Ricardo Vadia, ROVR is developing the project, and Monument Real Estate Services (MRES), an A-Rod Corp Company, will be the property manager.
Designed by Miami-based Zyscovich Architects and Anillo, Toledo, Lopez LLC, Grand Station will bring residents within proximity of Miami’s most important transit systems. Government Center’s Metrorail, Metromover and bus hubs, as well as MiamiCentral which features the tri-county rail service Brightline and will eventually include TriRail, are within a five-minute walk of the property.
Studios, one- and two-bedroom units will feature high-end finishes such as custom Italian cabinets, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, walk-in closets and a full-size washer and dryer. Effective rents range from $1783 to $2300.
“We are very proud to have worked alongside the Miami Parking Authority (MPA) to conceptualize, and ultimately realize this wonderful project,” said Rodriguez. “It creatively maximizes MPA’s space, allowing them to enhance their existing facilities.”
“Transit-oriented developments are key to our city’s urban evolution,” said Vadia. “The building’s accessibility to Miami Dade College, the Health District and downtown as a whole ideally positions Grand Station.”
Grand Station Apartments brings a cosmopolitan flair with a vast array of indoor and outdoor amenities. The development includes an expansive New York-inspired rooftop terrace, an outdoor kitchen with grilling area and an oversized swimming pool with sun deck and several hot tubs, offering residents extraordinary views of the city scape.
An upscale amenities deck with a variety of Class A finishes features a full-size state-of-the-art fitness center, wellness treatment and spa rooms with an indoor heated soaking pool, a computer and business center, and a clubroom, as well as an indoor/outdoor spa to unwind. The community also includes a concierge service, dog spa with pet station, bike storage and 24-hour package lockers.

ROVR Development announces it has commenced pre-leasing for Grand Station Apartments, a 30-story apartment tower with 300 luxury residences in Downtown Miami. Expected move-in will take place over the summer.
The $70 million development is a transformative public-private partnership with the Miami Parking Authority (MPA), bringing a combination of residential floorplans to MPA’s headquarters at 40 NW 3 Street and expanding the existing garage at Courthouse Center with 350 parking spaces.
Led by Principals Oscar Rodriguez and Ricardo Vadia, ROVR is developing the project, and Monument Real Estate Services (MRES), an A-Rod Corp Company, will be the property manager.

“Downtown Miami was in immediate need of luxury housing that brought residents close to the city’s renowned amenities and transportation options that take them anywhere in South Florida,” said Rodriguez. “Working alongside the Miami Parking Authority, we were able to creatively use their existing space and enhance their own facilities, demonstrating the positive results that ultimately benefit residents when a public-private initiative such as this one takes place.”
“The delivery of this project next to the region’s most important transit centers is an indicator of the possibilities that exist to improve Miami’s urban core,” added Vadia. “It’s a convenient solution serving local office workers, Miami Dade College students and employees in the Health District, along with other members of our community. We look forward to showcasing Grand Station’s functional amenities and setting a new standard for transit oriented development.”
