Miramar Cove development to bring parks, restaurants, beach club for fall 2028
The official groundbreaking for Miramar Cove brought new details about the development at Miramar Parkway and Red Road.
Miramar officials, developers and designers joined Sunbeam Properties & Development, run by the Ansin family, for a celebration on Wednesday, May 27.
As CEO Andrew Ansin dug a shovel into the dirt alongside Mayor Wayne M. Messam, it marked a full circle moment — his grandfather purchased the 125-acre plot of land around 70 years ago for $100 an acre.
Sunbeam, along with the construction team at Stiles, plans to turn it into a walkable mini city — the largest development of its kind in Miramar featuring restaurants, a hotel, apartments and multi-family housing.
Sunbeam made its mark with Miramar Park of Commerce, a 600-acre office park. The company is also moving its WSVN-7 headquarters across the street from Miramar Cove.
Ansin told the Miramar News that Miramar Cove is among the city’s most important developments, also mentioning the installation of the canal system and the highway interchanges at Red Road and Miramar Parkway.
“And now with Miramar Cove, I think it’s kind of the capstone for all the development that’s happening over the years,” he said.
Miramar Cove residents can expect a beach club with a 5.5-acre basin at the core of the development. The fountain in the basin will feature the ability to coordinate water shows with music.
The mixed-use village will be lined with restaurants, cafes, boutiques and gathering spaces. Promenades will connect the buildings, and the area is designed to allow 15 minutes of walking to destinations with parks throughout.
“We’re providing something that doesn’t exist in southwest Broward to make southwest Broward and Miramar a better community and a better place to live,” Ansin said.
Messam said the apartments would be market-rate, without income restrictions, but with reserved workforce housing opportunities.
“This is an example of how the private sector, how the city can work together to not only bring transformation to a community, but be a model naturally on how we all can come together,” Messam said.
Miramar Cove is planned for completion in fall 2028.
