Next, Aldi will open in a 25,000-square-foot space and Five Below in a 10,000-square-foot space. In March, Ross Dress for Less will open a 26,000-square-foot store. 

Five Below, Aldi supermarket and Ross Dress for Less will also open at Sawyer's Walk, a mixed-use project that also includes the North American headquarters for an international cruise line.

Swerdlow Group is advancing plans for a massive project in Little River. The development will include approximately 7,500 residential units, with a mix of affordable, workforce and market-rate housing. The Little River development will also have 602,562 square feet of retail space, and 205,076 square feet of outdoor green space open to the public.

Coconut Grove-based developer recently completed Block 55 at Sawyer’s Walk and is planning to build nearly 6,000 affordable and workforce housing apartments in Miami.

SG Holdings, a partnership among Swerdlow Group, SJM Partners, and Alben Duffie, has completed the housing component of Sawyer’s Walk at 249 Northwest 6th Street in Overtown, marking it as the largest affordable senior living community in the US within the last decade. The mixed-use development includes 1.5 million square feet of space, featuring 578 residential units for low-income seniors, 175,000 square feet for retailers, a 25,000-square-foot public plaza, and 130,000 square feet of office space for MSC Group’s North American cruise division headquarters.

The largest U.S. affordable housing project of its kind that has been built in the past decade is now open in downtown Miami. Residents at Sawyer's Walk, located in the heart of Miami’s historically Black Overtown area, have officially started moving into the 18-story tower's 578 units for seniors. The mixed-use complex occupies an entire city block at 249 NW 6th St. and comprises 1.5 million square feet of residential, office and retail space. Sawyer's Walk includes a 25,000-square-foot linear park just behind the building that is now open.

MSC Group is anchoring its new North America cruise headquarters at Michael Swerdlow’s Block 55 at Sawyer’s Walk after paying $67 million for a commercial unit at the Overtown mixed-use project. 

On Overtown land where the City of Miami once planned 1,050 units of affordable and mid-income housing, a global cargo firm and cruise line will invest $100 million to develop a new US headquarters, uniting its 250 South Florida employees under one roof.
