Allapattah’s Big Leap: How Doubling Height Limits Could Reshape Miami’s Civic Center
Between a single vote at City Hall and a signature on paper, nine parcels in Miami’s Allapattah / Civic Center district just gained permission to reach twice as high as before. NOTRUSE HOLDINGS LLC successfully rezoned 88,039 sq ft from T6‑12‑O (12‑story cap) to T6‑24A‑O (24‑story cap). Although the floor‑area‑ratio (FAR) slips from 8 to 7—reducing theoretical buildable area by exactly 88,039 sq ft—the move unlocks new design possibilities and sets a fresh precedent for the neighborhood.
