The City of Hollywood unanimously approved the Industrial Area Redevelopment Program master plan, developed by Plusurbia in partnership with EXP, BusinessFlare, the community, and city staff.

The plan builds on an in depth review of current site conditions and months of resident input. It protects the district's industrial character while opening the door to new investment, improved parking and mobility, and green infrastructure upgrades.

As resident leader Nadine McCrea shared, the goal is to enhance the area's appearance, safety, and function, while keeping its identity as a true Warehouse District.

This framework will guide short, mid, and long term planning and investment for the area ahead.

Jesper Møller Sørensen, Ambassador of Denmark to the United States, Jakob Norman-Hansen of Bloxhub, and Deborah Tackett, Planning Director of the City of Miami Beach, with Jose A. Gelabert-Navia moderating. The conversation will explore how waterfront cities like Copenhagen and Miami are designing for resilience, connectivity, and people-centered growth.

Every August, school buses and morning drop off lines return to neighborhood streets, and so does the question every parent asks. Can my child walk to school safely?

At Plusurbia, we believe the answer starts with design. Complete Streets, a planning approach that balances space for pedestrians, cyclists, transit, and cars instead of prioritizing vehicles alone, is not a nice to have. It is a safety strategy.

Sidewalks, crosswalks, and traffic calming measures are some of the most direct tools a community has to protect its youngest residents. These are not abstract policy ideas. They are the difference between a child walking to school with confidence and a family deciding it is not safe to try.

Back to school season is a reminder that the sidewalk outside a school is not just infrastructure. It is where a child's independence and a parent's peace of mind begin.

Last week, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava convened community stakeholders to discuss the Ludlam Trail, a 5.6-mile shared-use path planned to connect neighborhoods, schools, parks, and transit stops across the county. Juan Mullerat, Plusurbia Founding Principal, joined the conversation to offer planning and design perspective and discuss Plusurbia's upcoming County-wide Trails Master Plan. Our Firm is in full support of more Miami projects that offer a safer, greener connection between communities.

Phase one is complete at Upland Park, Miami-Dade County's largest transit-oriented development, and Plusurbia is proud to have served as urban planner alongside master plan architect Arquitectonica and project architect Pascual, Perez, Kiliddjian & Associates.

The $1 billion, 47-acre community, developed by Terra, has delivered its first 578 apartments next to the Dolphin Station Park and Ride Terminal, with more residential, retail, and commercial space to come. Coverage of this milestone came from Florida YIMBY, Miami's Community Newspapers, Hoodline, and Florida Real Estate Wire, which also reported on the $170 million loan keeping the project moving forward.

Transit-supportive planning does not happen by accident. It takes a team committed to connecting housing, mobility, and community from day one. To find out more: https://floridayimby.com/2026/07/phase-one-completed-at-1-billion-upland-park-transit-oriented-development-in-west-miami-dade.html

At Plusurbia Design, we've always believed that great cities don't have to choose between housing, mobility, and public space; they can thoughtfully integrate all three.

Our planning work for the Hia-Line was developed with a long-term vision for creating a connected, walkable public space while recognizing the importance of transit-oriented development and future growth. Strong urban planning creates opportunities for parks, housing, and economic development to work together, strengthening neighborhoods and improving quality of life.

As conversations about the future of the Hia-Line continue, we remain committed to planning solutions that prioritize connectivity while supporting the evolving needs of the Hialeah community.

Juan Mullerat, principal at Plusurbia, brought his perspective on planning and design to the Starchitects Lecture series at the Coral Gables Museum.

He joined Indrit Alushani (University of Miami School of Architecture), Carie Penabad, and Adib Cure (Cure and Penabad) for a conversation on the ideas shaping our built environment.

This four-session workshop also includes a bonus field trip and tour to come, with participants earning a certificate of completion.

Great design starts with listening to a place's history before shaping its future. Grateful to be part of a program passing that mindset on.

Six months in, one throughline: understanding a place comes before designing its future.

From the Calle Ocho Revitalization Plan's ten-year milestone to the Wynwood Norte Vision Plan, the Little Santo Domingo Historic Survey, and the West Grove Community Redevelopment Plan, our work this year has stayed rooted in community history and context.

We advanced the Rickenbacker Shoreline feasibility study, welcomed two new full-time planners and designers, and saw Juan Mullerat contribute to a four-part documentary, join the Urban Land Institute Americas Awards jury, and speak at the International Bar Association's Real Estate Investments Conference in New York.

Our preservation team documented the history of Miami's migrant farmworker communities, Lincoln Memorial Park, and neighborhoods across the 305, work recognized this spring with the Dade Heritage Trust Miami Preservation Award.

And there is more ahead. Our Lattice planning process is getting a major update. Stay tuned.
