Property Markets Group (PMG), in partnership with Lion Development Group and LNDMRK Development, has officially broken ground on One West Twelve Residences (ONE W12), a 23-story residential development designed by CUBE 3 in the heart of Historic Overtown. The groundbreaking took place on October 1, marking the start of construction on a 245-foot-tall project that will yield 372 units and aims to blend modern design with the area’s cultural and architectural heritage. John Moriarty & Associates serves as the general contractor, with completion expected in 2028.
Under a nearly clear Miami sky, representatives from development team gathered with golden shovels in hand to mark the official groundbreaking of One West Twelve Residences. The scene was framed by a striking backdrop featuring PMG’s E11EVEN Residences Beyond and E11EVEN Hotel & Residences towers rising along the left center of the skyline, while the tower cranes marking the West Eleventh Residences site stood prominently in view. Excavators positioned across the site stood ready to begin earthwork operations.
