Coral Gables Moves Closer To Approving New Apartment-Retail Tower

Merrick Manor, a mixed-use, 180-unit rental apartment complex and retail property along Le Jeune Road, received final approval from the Coral Gables City Commission last Tuesday.
The project, which will eventually replace an old trolley yard at LeJeune at Altara Avenue, is expected to be completed sometime next year.
The mixed-use site plan proposes a seven-story building of 72 feet fronting LeJeune and 10 floors and 100 feet at the opposite side of the property, along Laguna Street. Merrick Manor would feature apartments ranging from 790 to 1,200 square feet, along with 11,740 square-feet of retail and 5,946 square-feet of office space along with street level improvements.
“I think we’ll all be happy with the project,” said Mario Garcia-Serra of Greenberg Traurig, who is representing the developers, Miami-based Astor Development Holdings.
