Codina Partners Reveals Approved Plan For First Mid-Rise Apartments At Downtown Doral

Downtown Doral, a 250-acre mixed-use community developed by Codina Partners, has announced that Sevilla, its newest lifestyle building and the first seven-story mid-rise residential tower of its kind, has received Site Plan Approval and will soon join the skyline of Downtown Doral.

The project will be situated on the 4.2-acre vacant lot at the corner of NW 53rd Street and NW 52nd Terrace, just a block away from UHealth’s new Ambulatory Center, a state-of-the-art 150,000 square foot facility offering a comprehensive range of outpatient services.

Sevilla at Downtown Doral is set to consist of 412 units, with options ranging from 1 to 3 bedrooms and sizes spanning from 720 to 1,708 square feet. The development will unfold in two phases, with the first phase welcoming move-ins starting in Q2 of 2026, and the entire project slated for completion by Q4 2026.

Residents of Sevilla will enjoy over 15,800 square feet of common area and amenity spaces, including a resort-style pool deck with outdoor loungers, BBQ stations, a large beach-entry pool, and private cabanas—all on the east side of the building. The west side will offer a tranquil zen courtyard with lush landscaping and a large dog park.

The building will also feature a unique, rooftop wellness deck, that will feature a yoga yard, pickleball courts, a walking path, and ample seating areas.

The interior of the building will offer an elegant resident club room and lounge, state-of-the-art, two-story fitness center, and a convenient ride-sharing lobby.

Codina Partners is expanding the residential options in Downtown Doral to meet the surging demand for housing in the area. Following the successful completion and record-breaking lease-up of Palma Tower Two in July 2023, three months ahead of schedule, Codina Partners continues to demonstrate its commitment to meeting the needs of the community by adding much needed lifestyle offerings.

Ana-Marie Codina Barlick, CEO of Codina Partners, stated, “The record lease-up of Palma Tower Two highlights the strong ongoing demand for housing in Downtown Doral. We carefully assessed the wants and needs of the market, and we’re confident that Sevilla will be a highly anticipated addition to the community.”

Among the unique offerings of this Downtown district are its two award-winning charter schools: an elementary school for kindergarten through fifth grade, and an upper school for students in sixth through twelfth grades. Both institutions offer comprehensive dual-language programs in either Spanish, Portuguese, or French, and are among a select number of schools that offer a similar program in South Florida. They have earned numerous accolades, including the coveted STEAM designation—demonstrating their excellence in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. Additionally, as an International Baccalaureate (IB) school, students’ diplomas from Downtown Doral Charter Upper School are universally accepted at colleges around the world. As Downtown Doral residents, those living in Sevilla, will benefit from the increased likelihood of their children being accepted into these highly sought after schools. Currently, there are over 3,000 students on the waiting list.

In addition to residential growth, Codina Partners has also announced the expansion of its retail center along NW 87th Avenue, furthering the success and vibrancy of Downtown Doral. Currently, the center is home to over 40 different retail establishments with more than 18 world-class restaurants and eateries. The expansion of the retail center is expected to begin in the latter half of 2024.

“The unparalleled amenities, educational opportunities, and lifestyles that Downtown Doral offers, and the continued investments we are making in the community are why it has earned the reputation as the ultimate place to live, work, play, and learn in South Florida,” said Codina Barlick.
