Alta Development Lists South Miami's First 16-Story Tower for Sale
Alta Development is marketing SoMi Walk, a 173-unit luxury student housing tower near University of Miami, to qualified buyers ahead of its 2028 completion.
Alta Development has put SoMi Walk on the market for qualified buyers, positioning the project as South Miami's first 16-story residential tower and a significant entry in the opportunity zone investment space. The development, currently under construction, is slated to receive its temporary certificate of occupancy in June 2028, with final pricing yet to be determined.
The 173-residence, 673-bed project is designed as luxury student housing and sits within minutes of the University of Miami, targeting demand from the school's student population and off-campus housing market. Its location within a federally designated opportunity zone adds a tax-incentive dimension that may appeal to institutional and high-net-worth investors seeking deferred or reduced capital gains exposure.
