Miramar Cove: A 2,874-Home Mixed-Use Community
Miramar Cove is the kind of project I tell Broward buyers to watch early, because nothing this large has been built in Miramar before. Sunbeam Properties, the Ansin family company behind WSVN-Channel 7, broke ground on May 27, 2026 with development and construction partner Stiles on a 125-acre, roughly $1 billion master-planned community at 11125 Miramar Parkway. Designed by Cooper Carry, it will deliver 2,874 residences, 400,000 square feet of retail anchored by a 35,000-square-foot grocery store, 125,000 square feet of Class A office, and a 185-key full-service hotel, all built around a 5.5-acre crystal lagoon, according to Stiles and Florida YIMBY. A grand opening is planned for the fourth quarter of 2028. This sits outside my core focus of luxury Miami new construction, but it is one of the most significant South Florida projects of the year, and I track it so my clients see where Broward is heading. For buyer guidance anywhere in South Florida, I am the contact.

The Largest Development of Its Kind in Miramar
"Miramar Cove matters because it changes the ceiling for west Broward. For years buyers there chose between single-family subdivisions and aging strip retail. A 125-acre walkable district with a crystal lagoon, a grocery-anchored main street, offices, a hotel, and almost 3,000 homes is a different category of place. It is not my core luxury Miami focus, but when something this large breaks ground, I track it closely so my clients understand where values and demand are heading across South Florida."Gerardo Gonzalez, Licensed Real Estate Agent at Compass
Miramar Cove broke ground on May 27, 2026 at 11125 Miramar Parkway, near the intersection of Miramar Parkway and Red Road, one block west of the Florida Turnpike. According to the developer Stiles and reporting from Florida YIMBY and The Real Deal, it is a 125-acre, roughly $1 billion master-planned community, and the development team calls it the largest project of its kind in Miramar. The land has been in the Ansin family for about 70 years: Andy Ansin's grandfather bought the 125-acre tract roughly seven decades ago, and Sunbeam Properties, the family's real estate arm, is now building it out with Fort Lauderdale-based Stiles as the development and construction partner. The master plan is designed by Cooper Carry, with landscape design by LandDesign.
The program is genuinely mixed-use at scale. Plans call for 2,874 residences integrated across the site in a walkable layout, 400,000 square feet of retail anchored by a 35,000-square-foot grocery store, 125,000 square feet of Class A office, and a 185-key full-service hotel. More than 40 acres of the property is set aside for parks, water features, trails, and open space. For a market that has historically been low-rise and car-dependent, the intent is a pedestrian-first district where you can live, work, shop, and stay without leaving the property.
The defining feature is a 5.5-acre crystal lagoon: an inland basin holding translucent blue water, ringed by restaurants, retail, residences, offices, hospitality, and pedestrian promenades. According to Florida YIMBY, the same basin technology is used at the Monaco Yacht Club in Miami Beach, The Strand in Turks and Caicos, and Royal Caribbean's Hideaway Beach at CocoCay in the Bahamas. The plan also includes a waterfront entertainment district built around the lagoon, a private beach club reserved for residents, roughly five miles of walking paths, and connections to Founders Park's 10 acres of green space and The Estuary's 25 acres of natural trails.
Location is the quieter strength here. Miramar Cove sits next to Sunbeam's Miramar Park of Commerce, one of South Florida's major business hubs, home to more than 15,000 employees across 165 national and international companies. The development team puts the surrounding population at nearly 477,000 residents with an average household income above $109,000, and the site is minutes from Hard Rock Stadium, which hosts more than 100 events a year. That is a built-in base of demand for the homes, the offices, and the retail, which is part of why a project of this scale pencils in Miramar rather than a denser coastal market.
Construction is underway now, with a grand opening planned for the fourth quarter of 2028. Pricing, residential floor plans, and a sales timeline are set by the developer and were not public at the groundbreaking. This is not a luxury Miami pre-construction tower, which is my core focus, but it is one of the most consequential South Florida developments of the year, and I keep it on my radar for clients who want a read on where Broward is going.
