The healthcare property features 33 exam rooms, eight operating rooms, three endoscopy suites, 33 cancer treatment units, radiology services, a lab, onsite pharmacy, seven-story parking garage and a central energy plant.
University of Miami has been expanding its medical clinics throughout South Florida, most recently in Downtown Doral as well as North Miami.
UHealth is building a seven-story medical center in North Miami-Dade, part of a mega-development of residential towers.
The idea is to take healthcare to a growing population in a dense area that includes Aventura, North Miami Beach and North Miami, said Dr. Dipen Parekh, the chief operating officer of the University of Miami Health System.
The medical center — not a hospital but an outpatient facility that can provide primary and specialty care for conditions including cancer, cardiac problems and eye disorders — is still under construction.
The center is UHealth’s largest outpatient medical facility at 363,000-square-feet, comprising 110 exam rooms, 10 operating rooms, and 33 clinical cancer treatment units. The center is expected to open in June 2025 and will be open daily. You don’t have to live at SoLé Mia to get care.
On Friday, UHealth, North Miami and other officials celebrated a construction milestone of the new center, which North Miami Mayor Alix Desulme says will usher in a “new era” of health for the community. Officials say the center is also expected to bring jobs to the area.
The center, just off Biscayne Boulevard near the Biscayne Bay campus of Florida International University, is part of a new vertical city. SoLé Mia is a 184-acre master planned community developed by Oleta Partners – a joint venture by leading developers LeFrak and Turnberry.

Miami officials gave Apollo Cos. permission to construct a medical office building in the Health District, close to the biggest hospitals in the city.
The project will be constructed on a 20,656-square-foot plot at 800 N.W. 15th St., which is on the north side of the major Dolphin Expressway/State Road 836, by the Aventura-based developer via affiliate 800 Medical Tower LLC. In July 2023, the developer paid $7 million for the site which included a one-story office building, which he later demolished.
According to Apollo Cos. CEO Edward Abbo, 800 Medical Tower’s 170,255 square feet across 14 stories and 187 parking spaces were approved. The first floor would have a lobby and 4,665 square feet of retail space. Floor plates for the medical office space would range from 8,914 to 13,251 square feet, and they would be located on levels seven through fourteen.
Miami-based Caymares Martin designed the building.
According to Abbo, he has applied to the city for a building permission and expects to receive it in four months. He stated there is a lot of interest from medical tenants, but he hasn’t decided if the medical office space would be leased or sold as office condos.
According to him, medical tenants are losing space as the University of Miami Health System and Jackson Health System grow inside their current structures. These tenants now require additional medical office space.
