Colliers data cited by The Real Deal put average direct asking retail rents in Coconut Grove above 110 dollars per square foot in the second quarter of 2026, among the highest of any Miami-Dade submarket and more than double the 45.50 dollar average of a decade ago.

County committee scheduled to vote on a 3.5 million dollar purchase of 10 acres in the South Dade Wetlands
Miami-Dade is moving toward buying 10 acres inside the South Dade Wetlands Project at Southwest 344th Street and Southwest 169th Avenue for 3.5 million dollars from the estate of Rachel M. Noto.

The Recreation, Tourism and Resiliency Committee was scheduled to vote, so this is an agenda item rather than a completed acquisition.
