The Shops at Sunset Place Mall is getting a major facelift! Midtown Development has officially broken ground, starting a transformation that’s set to revitalize this well-known spot in South Miami. For those who’ve been around a while, you might remember that about 25 years ago, this area was home to the Bakery Centre before it turned into the mall we know today. But now, it’s time for another big change.
Midtown Development, a Miami-based real estate firm headed by Alex Vadia, is known for turning outdated urban spaces into vibrant, mixed-use communities. You might be familiar with their work in Midtown Miami, where they turned the area into a bustling retail and residential hub.
Location
The Shops at Sunset Place is located at 5701 Sunset Drive, South Miami, FL 33143. It’s located near the intersection of U.S. 1 (South Dixie Highway) and Sunset Drive, making it a central part of South Miami.

Whats are the Plans?
At Sunset Place, their plans include building structures as tall as 33 stories! These will house over 1,500 residential units, including everything from studio apartments to three-bedroom units, alongside office spaces and a 287-room hotel. And foodies, get excited—75% of the commercial space will be dedicated to restaurants! Plus, there’s going to be a massive 50,000-square-foot theater for movies and live performances, making it the perfect new spot for entertainment in South Miami.
The idea behind the project is to create a community where people can live, work, and play—all in one place. With construction happening in phases, it’ll be a few years before it’s fully done, but once completed, Sunset Place is set to become a lively, modern neighborhood. This is great news not just for the local businesses, but also for the real estate market in South Miami. With all these new residential units, both buyers and renters will have plenty of options in this refreshed community.
