On Tuesday, the Wynwood<\/a> Design Review Committee will vote on Pitbull\u2019s<\/a> proposed office building for his music label\u2019s headquarters at the site of his childhood home.<\/p>\n The music star <\/a>and developer Rilea Group is proposing an eight-story, 11,200-square-foot building to house Pitbull\u2019s Mr. 305 music label at 25 NE 28th St. The development would replace his former two-bedroom, one-bedroom, 720-square-foot home, which was built in 1927, according to Miami-Dade County property records<\/a>. It is currently owned by Un Melon en Wynwood LLC, an affiliate of the music label. <\/p>\n The Brickell-based Rilea Group has developed several office and residential buildings in South Florida. The firm is currently in the process of developing a 300-unit, 12-story mixed-use project, right next to Pitbull\u2019s proposed headquarters, called Mohawk at Wynwood. <\/p>\n \u201cGiven the personal significance of the site, we are approaching the opportunity and look forward to thoughtfully bringing new life to the property as part of Wynwood\u2019s continued evolution,\u201d Rilea said in a statement to the Real Deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n The developer\u2019s plans submitted to the city\u2019s zoning administrator reveal that the building will draw inspiration from Wynwood\u2019s industrial heritage, using materials such as reclaimed brick, glass, and decorative metal accents. <\/p>\n There will also be a \u201cprominent mural integrated into the brick facade.\u201d The 11,200-square-foot building with 9,700 square feet of office space will be designed by Deforma Studio. <\/p>\n City of Miami Wynwood Design Review Committee photo<\/p>\n The Wynwood Design Review Committee can approve or deny the plans before the city zoning administrator makes the final decision. <\/p>\n Mr.Worldwide, whose real name is Armando Christian Perez, has never forgotten his Miami roots. He founded his independent record label in Miami in 2009. He is also the co-founder of SLAM (Sports Leadership Arts Management) Academy, a public charter school that opened in Little Havana in 2012. Last September, the City of Miami Commissioner approved the sale of the historic Olympia Theater <\/a>to the school despite the opposition of preservationists and local cultural groups. <\/p>\n In August 2024, Pitbull bought the naming rights to Florida International University\u2019s (FIU) football stadium. As part of the five-year deal, he is paying the school $1.2 million a year for \u201cPitbull Stadium.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pitbulls-childhood-homejpg.jpg\")
